Scam Description
A woman posted an add on a friends fb page. I indicated I was interested. And she messaged me privately with the info about the position. Asked a few questions. Then told me to download the Microsoft teams app. And reach out to Johnson David using an interview code link once it was downloaded. Yesterday, 6/6/24, is when we started out convo and interview. I was hired for the remote position of data entry person. And gave the guy my name address and phone #. I also gave him a selfie along with a pic of my DL with the #covered. He then proceeded to tell me the next steps in order to start my training. He told me I would have to pay for the equipment that would be sent to me and then be reimbursed. He stated that it was because I elected direct deposit for me being paid. He said it would take to long to process and they( the company) wanted me to start right away. He still insisted on the up front payment.
