Was going through a background check with one of the smaller HAA operators in Tx. Using third party operations to complete the process, a request for verification was sent to my present employer as well as several others. I was immediately notified by HR of this request and agreed for them to provide this information.   She was even kind enough to send me a copy of this completed request, showing very favorable info. 10 minutes later another email from the same email address was sent to HR containing a bank account number and routing info claiming to be sent from me, requesting my direct deposit info be set up with the new enclosed account info. It was clear to me this was happening when HR sent me a blank direct deposit request form asking me to properly fill out with new account info as per protocol. Not having requested for a change in my info, an investigation was immediatly opened looking into this "Background checks" company.  And shortly after, followed denial by the HAA operator to continue my hiring process because of my background with no explanation. A first for me in 30 years in this business. Coincidental? Maybe, but considering the email domain was the same, I have a tendency to think not.

What is the point of this long soliloquy? Don't always assume all that info you are surrendering to a background investigation company is in good hands.  Also, spare the "someone is angry because they didn't  get the job" BS. In the long run, things worked out quite better. Just thought my fellow brethren should be aware. Safe flights..

makes any sense. of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most

either your lack of ability to hold attention to any story lacks greatly, or you work for the company in question. Am inclined to believe the latter..

so the new scam is not to get your bank info, they give out their own and think a company is just going to deposit your check into it. brilliant.

.

Maybe the "industry" should all be using the same background check company ?  

since both requests came from the same email address, how could it be considered coincidental. it would be like if somebody walked up to you and offered you a job and ten minutes later the exact same guy came up and robbed you. it sure was weird the same guy that tried to hire me also tried to rob me. coincidence? I think not! too smart for that!

They checked your account bal, saw you had no money.

These days, if you don't have 100 grand in cash in checking account, it's like not having at least 5 grand, in 1998.

You're poor.

Can't manage money.

Thus, can't think or plan ahead.

Thus, poor decision making skills.

Thus, not the pilot they are looking for??

he didn't give out his bank info and who keeps a 100 large in a checking account you stupid idiot

that has 20x that in investments in the market.

That 100g is for misc expenses, for the weekend party, or emergency trip to turkey with friends.

You poor ba-stard.

I do.

total bull 💩 having thatamount for your "DREAMS!!!"

there's an ems company in texas that sends emails out to other companies trying to get them to send them your paycheck! don't give out your company email and no I'm not mad because it all worked out great for me! lol

is awesome

I have NEVER had a company asking for bank information for a background check, ONLY after being hire for direct deposit. I would never give that info on that request.

and they didn't ask for his bank info either. can't you idiots read. oh, and none of this never happened

my company an email telling them to deposit my check into a different account and I didn't get paid for 2 years

They equate you clowns to be the red-headed step children of aviation. Actually have heard of similar issues happening in the industry due to hiring unstable individuals for the background investigation companies. But you guys know better. The economy is good, the country is safer than ever and Brandon who slept with his daughter has your best interest in mind. STFU already..

i have never heard of that in 30yrs of working on/off other companies....No one asks for a direct deposit info UNTIL you are actually hired....more to the story than meets the eye.....

the unstable individuals will try to get you and maga

I'll take "that didn't happen for $500 Alex
