WALNUT GROVE, Mo. — The Better Business Bureau is warning people about a new scam. One that has affected job seekers and a trucking company in Walnut Grove Westerman’s Express LLC Owner Joe Westerman said since October, he has received 200 calls from people he’s never met. Each call was about the same thing. “People said that they were working for me,” Westerman said. “It was a package handlers job, and I was like no we’re a local company out of Walnut Grove, Missouri.” Westerman told people they were getting scammed. “Then we started getting people saying that we had an app on Indeed.com, and I said ‘I don’t know nothing about Indeed.com.'” Westerman said. “And it was for making cardboards, it even had my business number on there. We were like, ‘No, this ain’t us.'”
