Courtni Klosloski thought she had found the perfect job.
After posting her resume to Monster.com she was directed to a website for WACT, Action 25 News, a cable news channel out of Macon, Georgia.
"I was thinking to myself, wow I'm going to be able to put a thousand dollars away for my daughters college, I'm going to be able to pay this, pay that, our lives are going to change," Klosloski recalled.
The website was complete with weather updates, an "award winning news team", and a consumer reporter claiming to know how you can make $84,000 a year by working at home.
Courtni used her credit card to purchase a set of job training DVDs for nearly $300.
After realizing she'd been scammed Courtni tried to reach WACT, but each try led to a dead end.
All phone numbers listed for the station led to the same recorded message.
That's because the station doesn't exist.
According to the address on the website Action 25 News stands in the midst of Ben's Macon Radiator Service.
Shop owner Ricky Tucker was surprised to hear he was sharing an address with a scammer.
The mailing address was another dead end.
The post office box provided doesn't exist in the city of Macon.
The website domain name led to a man named Frank Milan, who was also unreachable.
Kelvin Collins of the Better Business Bureau says if the website if any indication, the scammers have already planned for investigators' calls.
"They've sold the DVDs. That's all they are interested in doing. They couldn't care less. They sold you the DVDs that's what they wanted to do," he said.
That is little comfort to Courtni Klosloski, who still is unemployed.
Courtni is probably one of many across the country who has fallen for the scam.
The Better Business Bureau has opened a full investigation into the scam.
