Scam Description
THEY HAVE CONTACTED ME THREW TEXT MESSAGE AND SAID THEY HAVE GOTTEN MY RESUME THREW INDEED AND IT WAS A REMOTE PAYROLL ASSSITANT JOB. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PAY WAS $2,250 BI-WEEKLY. $500 FOR THE TRAINING THAT I WOULD BE PAYED AND THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BUYING MY SUPPLYS WITH THE CHECK THAT THEY HAVE SENT ME THREW THE MAIL. I HAVE CALLED THE BBB TO SEE WHAT THEIR RATING WHERE, SEEINGS HOW I AM LOCATED HUNDEREDS OF MILES AWAY. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING WITH THE CHECK AS OF THE MOMENT. MANY THING ABOUT ALL OF THIS HAVE GIVEN ME RED FLAGS OF A SCAM. PHONE NUMBERS DONT WORK, ALL THREW TEXT MESSAGING, THE ADDRESSES DONT MATCH, ALONG WITH THE BANKS LOCATIONS ARE STRANGE AS WELL. I HAVE LOOKED THREW THE MAPS AND DID ALL THE INVESTIGATIONS THAT I COULD DO BETWEEN THE COMPANY ADDRESSES, PHONE NUMBERS, BANK LOCATIONS.
