Scam Description
Texted me offering a job. Told me to log into teams to have an interview. Sent me a fake w4 and i9 form via email. Which I didn’t fill out because the forms were not edited right and looked fake. Once I told him I was not going to fill out he then want to send a check for my to deposit in my bank account for $4,900. I told him I would take to a check cashing place and he said no I have to put it in my bank.(red flag) then he said I would need a phone and the company would pay my bill and that I have to send him my username and password. I told him that no job would ask for that information and he never replied back.
