The name is probably fictitious and the numbers are most likely open to public and not residential. I do wish you luck and hope we can catch these crooks!

Hi, I am the Recruitment Manager at the REAL Business Monitor International Ltd - these people are using our name to scam a number of individuals by sending ficticious job details. We don't even hire "private client managers". These emails are nothing to do with Business Monitor International Ltd. I apologise to anyone who has been affected and we are trying to investigate, but as the email addresses they provide are all gmail accounts or similar they cannot be traced.

I've heard from friends who used to work at Business Monitor that this is a company that fails to follow through with promises in the interview, doesn't provide any sort of competitive benefits package, and has incompetent management that is without training... basically, stay away from this company at all costs!!!!

Joseph, thank you providing this insight.. I also know people that used to work there in their Singapore office, and they reiterated what you've said. While it's not a scam as the title of this thread suggests, it's a company that doesn't respect their employees and the turnover is incredibly high as a result. It sounds like they are just not 'with the times' as far as contemporary management theories (ie. maximize productivity by treating your employees like they are gold, rather that through fear tactics and constant belittling). I'm so sorry they had to go through that..

I was approached by this Laura Baldwin character about joining BMI as a Sales Executive a while back, and I am well glad I didn't take her up on the 'opportunity' after reading these last comments. What a bunch of wankers! Who's running the show? Tony Hayward???

I spent 2 days at BMI and quit... That place is a joke!!

I worked there for a while...Samantha and Jospeph are correct haha, on the money. If only there was a way to make more people aware so no one ever had to work there.
