Scam Description
It started with a text message saying they where very interested and wanted me to join their team. They had me do an online survey, this turned out to be my interview. (Never talked to anyone on the phone yet). The next day after taking the test I got another text message saying they wanted to offer me a job. Stephanie had me download Telegram so we can communicate with the next steps, I downloaded the App. From here is where is got weird. Stephanie send me a “welcome” Video and she seemed to be reading from a script and couldn’t keep eye contact . Next she wouldn’t answer basic questions like, ” how much will be deducted for benefits?” She ignored me. Then she sent me a check Via my Email (This was for computer and a printer) She told me to print the check out cut the check very neatly sign the check and then send me a picture before you submit it to your online mobile banking app. I was not comfortable doing this so I told her I would prefer the company to send me the lap top and printer. Now she wont reply to me. . . . They took my full name, DOB, Address, and just the name of my bank. How do you avoid this kind of thing ?…. Man. Yes their website looked a little fishy should have know right there that it was ti good to be true. On to the next job application . .
