now he is looking for musicians for private gambling cruse ships soon to port in the usa/ nyc area.
he is offering $ 3000. for talent.   he asks you a few questions.and then says he will call again the next day. no caller ID ...the ad gave the phone # 212 501 2236.....cant wait until he calls me tomorrow...

craigs list add out of Santa Maria CA. For server says hes (David Holt From Novomatic) looking for a flight attendant. goes by the number 212-501-2268. Says he'll call back for an interview and said you have to go to Fort Lauderdale Fl. you need to wire him $ so he can make the travel arrangements. Total SCAM!

Guy is using name. Of Steve. BAXTER...Supposed to meet. VICE PRES. Gail. Dawson at airport to reimburse half of flight costs of a total of $226.   Call back phone number 212-501-2236.  High pressured.

Now is using 212~501~2267.  The name is now Sean Collins.  They are looking for flight attendants for their private planes.  After several calls I made the interview process and would be flown to San Diego for the interview.  All I needed to do was pay for half my ticket.  I just hung up.  Please think people, why would you send money to pay for your plane ticket....if they own private jets.

He is now using the name Dennis Willis.

Seems to be another "Novamatic Corp" scam, initiated from NY phone number 212-501-2036.
Hiring for a construction PM position in the TPA area...building private casinos in the Exumas...
When I started to ask questions, he got rude, said I was "off base", and hung up on me.

Should have known when his calls came from a "private number".

Just disappointed that I didn't get to see how the scam played out.

Beware! This is a scam. A Mr. Hendrickson will offer you an interview in San Diego, Don't fall for his B.S. Nova Matic is a scam

Open the eyes, it is a major scam. Do not send money. I'm awaiting for his call today at 2:30 pm. I will send him to the hell.

His name he is using now is Dave Dawson and his number is 212 439-5232. And it is for a job being a security manager.

Thanks.  Steve Melrose is calling me now. I started the process by calling a number on careerbuilder. He wants me to be an Operations Manager for cruise ships.
Saw the warning bells and this site confirmed it.  Thanks!

He is using the name Ken Melrose now and the phone call is from a restricted phone number

Hey Guy's, I got it too. He's going by the name Ted Madison now. Regional Vice is Steve Langley. Posted job in local paper for Security Managers for upscale cacino, based out of Switzerland. Sounded real until he missed his call back time. He 'they", book the flight for you, but when you call the airline, there is no such flight. Some people like being crooks. they make fun of honest people. Take care everyone. Ike

Got a call from a Sean Baxter of Novomatic - same story about being 1 of 3 being selected (without even asking for my resume!!) and invited to interview in San Diego-said I need to pay half the plane ticket which will be reimbursed at the airport by the person - I hung up!! I am no fool!!  any job that requires money to be spent without start the job is a huge signal that it is a SCAM!!

Thank God for this site!  

My experience was exactly the same, and the entire time, I kept thinking--My God, this is my DREAM job!  

...but something felt 'off', like it was too good to be true.  So after I spoke to "Larry Hammond" this morning, and he told me that he was going into a meeting with his colleagues to decide who would be invited to interview in San Diego (free of charge), I decided to 'Google' the company (Novomatic), which apparently is real.  And then I Googled 'Larry Hammond', and got nowhere.  And then I Googled the two together--BINGO!  Every account of events that I have read is exactly the same as my experience:  the blocked number, the inability to contact the company (only they can contact you), the short and generic questions during the interview??  

So when he called me back, I didn't answer.  He left a brief and agitated message, "If you don't call back in the next few minutes, we will assume that you are not interested in the position."  First of all, what company with a legitimate job offer gives you three minutes to answer, before the offer is off the table?  And what major corporate company holds meetings at nine o'clock AM on a Sunday morning??  Sadly, the red flags were there, despite what I wanted to believe.  

Thank you all for the head's up!  :-)

Man am I glad I looked before I leaped!!!!!!!!!!  I got soooo excited at the Flight attendant job for such great money!  I consider myself an intelligent person.  Then talking over my expected detailed phone call today, which I guess will ask me for the details about paying when they have all these corporate jets???  Now I'm laughing at myself, at least I still have that left, no money just laughs and food stamps!!!  Thanks all and hope Larry Hammond gets his too!  212-501-2005  GUESS THE ONLY REAL MONEY OUT THERE IS STEALING FROM US HARDWORKING FOOLS WITH A DREAM!

i answered a job ad in my local paper for this Jerk it was also on monster.com til i reported it .. he called me from a blocked number claiming to be "Larry Hammond" we set up an interview in california then he called me back saying i had to pay for half the flight.. $150 via western union. i was told to send the money to a man named "David Hogan" in orlando fl. once the money was wired i never heard back from the man & he wouldnt return my calls. BEWARE of him !! the company is called "novamatic" cruise & casino for "rich & famous" people.. the number he gave me to call once the money was wired is 212-501-2022 the company number is 708-263-1233. This man is a FRAUD & KARMA WILL GET HIM !!

The name being used now is Kevin Sanders.  Thet are looking for a Corporate Operations Manager for people with extensive food service background

Wow, Major Scam. I called 708-263-1210 for a construction job in the "Islands" and sure enough, it was a pre-recorded message about the company and requirements. He always calls from a blocked number and calls you back after u leave a message. Then he wants you to send a money order for half the flight in San Diego for the interview which the company is willing to pay half. he also says your 1 of the 3 cannidates that got picked for the position. Says his name is Jeff and that the VP Ted Dawson will pick u up from the airport with the reimbursement check. It's all BS. Don't ever send any money to anybody especially though money order. It's a scam. Thanks to this i was able to confront him about it and hung up.

He is now using the name of Dave Henley, returning calls from a private number to people who answered an ad in a local Florida newpaper for flight attendants.  Says the interview is in San Diego and will call back to give me more details.

He is now using the name of Greg Dawson.  If it sounds too good - It is!
