thanks to all who posted here. I just got a call a my home number from this guy who identified himself as Johnathon Lellert, with the expanding business rhetoric. I was about to call but looked here first and diverted 5 minutes of my life here instead of there.

Hi I received an email with the same guy, but I think is Primerica wich is a legit company with a catche if you sing up with then is to sell life insurance  mostly; but you have to put down about 200 dollars for the book and the classes to get your licence to sell the insurance and then you go to peoples houses to sell the insurances and is all 100% commission.

Haha.. He must've called you around the same time as he called me... Introduced himself as Jonathan Kellert and said he was looking for people from diverse backgrounds for their expansion in the lower mainland. He gave me an address and asked me to go in for a seminar... not gonna happen now that I've found this discussion going on here!

I've got a call from this number from same guy everybody has mentioned in this thread.
Same thing: he works for this company, they want to expand and open new offices in the city where I live, he wants to know if I am interested in helping them.
So i asked for details, such as: company name, what they do and why they think I am a good fit for them. He only gave me the company name that they are a financial services company. As to the question of why he called me, he was very vague about it and when I said that his description of a job that needs to be done is too broad and asked him for specifics, he began to sound a little irritated.
I worked in fraud-prevention for too long not to smell something fishy here, after few more minutes and few more questions from me he went on to wrapping the conversation, because I asked him to send me the information by email and he said that "he does not like sending any information by email" in other words, he wont put anything in writing. Seriously :)

I know a fraud when I see one, I've seen and dealt with too many in my career. Please dont buy into what he says if he calls you.

More of the same -.. Jonathan from PFS.....

I received the exact message complete with the spelling and grammatical errors. He's trolling through Monster looking to sell insurance to you. He is not exactly lying but it's far from the truth. The first indication of concern was that this huge company is not named. Why not name yourself unless it's to prevent an easy Google search? The spelling and grammatical errors also raised a flag. The line: "not looking for people with that experience" also worries me. The claim of 25 offices in the Vancouver area is also odd. I found only 6 offices listed in the Vancouver area and when I went to Google street view there were no signs for PFS or Primerica. One was a chiropractors office and another an empty building that was for sale. A third at 8872 Hudson street was there. It shares a building with a lock smith and has cheap plastic signs in the window. The office at 4309 Fraser street is not bad looking and has a proper sign but shares a building with a hair salon. I'm seeing cheap rented offices in areas completely away from the financial district. After linking PFS to Primerica and seeing the reports on the activities I am warning others to be careful. It looks like they are trolling job sites for email addresses and attempting to lure desperate job seekers.

Jonathan Kellert emailed me with this text:
