Scam Description
I received a text from 209.356.9106 from Gia Ben-Hur. ((Text received: Good morning, I am Mrs. Gia Ben-Hur from the Human Resources Department at GIE Medical. I hope I am in direct contact with ____?)). She gave me directions to download MS TEAMS and speak with Sarah Evans about the position. Here is some of the interaction ((Before we proceed, I would like to learn more about you. This would help me categorize you and best interview you. I am Ms. Sarah Evans, age 48, the interviewer for GIE Medical. I am part of the recruitment team. Please introduce yourself briefly and include your name, state, and city.
To facilitate the seamless delivery of the working equipment to your designated house address, there is a corresponding shipping cost of $250. We kindly request that you make this payment directly to our trusted vendor. This step ensures the efficient processing and shipment of the essential working materials. Your cooperation in this matter is highly appreciated)). Sarah Evans had me meet her on MS TEAMS three different days to discuss the job. She got my full name, address, phone number and email in order to be able to send me the working materials. Once, I told her that I didn’t have the $250 for the shipping costs, she stopped responding to me.
Very elaborate scheme over three days time using text, email and letter of offer and MS TEAMS.
