Application Successful - Part 2

There was a small loading screen as the app loaded up before finally opening. Resting back in his chair, Jacob started the engine so the air conditioning could do it's job. As he looked through his new app.

At the top left of the screen was a [User ID] and [Photo] both blank at the time, while underneath were 4 headings.

The First heading was [Chat].

The Second heading was [1 on 1 Appointments]

The Third heading was [Pay]

And The final heading was [Log In]

As the user ID and 3 of the headings were all shaded out Jacob's eyes instantly gravitated to the [Log In] heading at the bottom, the only one lit up. Pressing on it the screen changed with some new text and an input box.

[Please enter phone number.]

[Back] [Confirm]

These words alone set warning bells ringing in Jacobs head as he instantly became suspicious, the first rule when you think you're being scammed, don't give away personal details, no matter what. With his guard up Jacob almost closed the app right away to delete it.

But he stopped to think for a second, with the VPN still up and the fact he already got a message from the Reinbeck group, the most likely already had his phone number, now that he thought about it he did remember having to input his mobile number when he was applying for this job.

Letting out a small sigh of defeat knowing it would already be too late if these guys were scammers he slowly put in the number and pressed confirm.

Nothing happened for a second as a loading bar appeared.

[Confirming]

Waiting for it to slowly tick up, when it finally finished his phone let out a small beep and went back to the main screen.

[Application Accepted]

Jacob furrowed his brows as he took in the changed screen. Well everything was the actually the same except all the headings were now lit up, that and his User ID had Changed.

Now it read.

[The Counselor]

Jacob stared at the words for a few seconds as his mind drifted back to the night he had drunkenly applied for the job. Slowly his head started to lower into the steering wheel as he let out a groan.

'I'm a fucking idiot. Please for the love of god, please don't tell me I applied for a counselor position. I don't have a psychologist degree… who the fuck gets psychology degrees!'

'Please tell me this is a bad dream, please tell me I'm not about to lose this job because I bloody applied for the wrong position!!!'

Panicking on the inside, Jacob quickly tried to click on his new User Id, but got nothing back other than a single message that quickly disappeared.

[User ID name set by Admin.]

Wanting to slam his head into the steering wheel again he quickly switched over and clicked on the chat function, surely he could sort everything out with the admin in chat. Believing that the [Consol] APP was some internal company software and it's chat function a company-wide message board or chat function, Jacob quickly looked for who he could talk to.

Hoping it was not too late to clarify that he was looking for a management position and hoping that they had one, even though he could try and pretend to be a counselor he wasn't that type of person.

But he stopped dead in his tracks when he got to the new screen, a suspicious gleam in his eyes. There was only one other person in the chat group, the [Admin], that was the first red flag. His eyes flickered to the group chat name, [Multiverse Counseling group chat], that was the second red flag. Finally there were no offline members to the group when he checked, meaning they weren't just 'offline', that was the third red flag.

Three Strikes and you're out. His whole body deflated in his chair as he slumped back.

'I can't believe I fell for this shit. Probably one of the guys fucking with me, I didn't think they would go this far though.'

*Ding*

As that thought crossed his mind his the phone once more made a sound as it lit up, opening the group back up again Jacob looked on with dispassionate eyes as the text in the chat changed.

Jacob rolled his eyes.
