Scam Description
I received an email asking to download the Signal app for an interview for a remote position that I had applied to on Glassdoor. I contacted Nicole Fajardo thru the app as my email asked. I thought it odd to do a text interview, but I went along with it. I know times are changing with the way the world conducts business. After going thru the “texting” process I was offered a job. She told me a check would be mailed out to me to purchase the equipment at a vendor they use. I texted her I did not feel comfortable with cashing a check that large and asked if she could call the equipment order in and I would pick it up. I asked a few times who the vendor was & if I could speak with her directly. I never received a response after that. I also tried calling the Billing, MT # and could not get anyone on the phone. It is hard enough these days trying to find a job. It’s more frustrating and disheartening that people are trying to take advantage of someone looking for honest work.
