Scam Description
This is a common tactic. The scammer reaches out with a job offer and tries to set up an interview as soon as possible. They will only do a text interview, not video. They flatter the victim and as part of the package of compensation they say they will supply the candidate with the equipment needed to do the work. I have always stopped it there, but the idea is to send the victim a lot of expensive equipment and tie them up with the costs.
