    three-month probationary basis

    Stating this indicates they will never give you an ounce of trust, nor the benefit of the doubt in any situation.

      The scam is you give them 450 bucks and they never call you back.
      The probation and other bs is just plausible deniability.
      You can be sure none of the radios they ever get back are in good enough condition too.

      Actually, it’s a common practice in many countries. Where I live, law mandates that both the employee and the employer can terminate the contract during the first three months, immediately, and without reason.

        I’d bet that this is in the US, where at-will employment (either party may terminate) is generally universal and indefinite.

          That sounds a lot closer to Canadian employment law, not US law. In most states, at-will employment is indefinitely 2-way. Employers are usually not required to give you any notice/reason/benefit beyond what is in the employment contract you sign. Conversely, employees have the same freedom. I’ve been at my job over ten years now and I could quit today with 0 notice or penalty. I don’t have to tell them why or where I’m going, just return my work equipment and collect a prorated final check. I could do a lot more damage to them than they could do to me and I like it that way.

            Losing your job with 0 notice is catastrophic for most people. Especially when you have to hope your job offers severence out of the kindness of their heart
