Scam Description
I was offered a job with Derma-Tec. I received an email about the job opportunity from Matt Anderson on 12/16/2022. The email specified to contact Mrs. Madison Brooks via Telegram app. I reached out to Madison Brooks via Telegram app on 12/17/2022. After a series of interview questions I was offer a job position as a Data Entry Clerk. Mrs. Brooks put me in contact with Mr. Michael Jones, training supervisor on 12/18/2022. The company stated that they were going to send me a check to by equipment, such as Apple laptop, IPhone 13, laser printer and other office supplies. The equipment was going to be put in my name. I emailed Michael my personal information, such as, checking account, SSN, picture of driving license, date of birth, address, email, and phone number on 12/18/2022. The company received this information through background check form, deposit form, W4 form, and offer letter form that I filled out. Via Telegram on 12/19/2022, I informed Michael to not send me the equipment check, to not use my personal information, and to professionally discarded my personal information to protect it from identity theft, fraud, and scams. Also, I informed him that I have started the process of reporting all of this to the appropriate federal, state, and local agencies.
