Scam Description
I applied for this company from an online site for remote workers ( https://www.remotehub.com/jobs/details/virtual-admin-assistants-63218c67edae3a2aea152544) The application process ran smoothly up until the point wherein the person asked that I send them $123 to purchase office equipment to send to me and I will be reimbursed 24hrs after the products have been shipped. So in this case I had to pay for them to employ me and also 2 of y other friends received the same email. This company has no valid website ( http://www.phllconline.com/ ) even though they claimed to have been around for years and kept insisting that I send them the money. I have attached photo of the interaction and hope no one else falls victim to this scam.
