Scam Description
I received an email that my resume was recommended to them by Linkedin and I was short listed for a position. They then asked me to complete a questionaire. I let it sit for a couple of days and received another email asking me to complete it by end of business that day. I filled it out and returned it. I was then sent a message that the company had chosen me for the position. I was told that I would be receiving funds to purchase the equipment needed to set up my home office. I found a person on linked in with the same name that states she works for this company and that the offers were a scam. I sent her a message and directly asked about not interviewing and instead of them providing the equipment did they give the funds to us to purchase them ourselves. She replied that it was a scam and not how they do business.
