Scam Description
the interviewer gave me a position pretty quickly and told me the company would send me a check to purchase work materials. once receiving the emailed check they asked me to mobile deposit the check and order my materials from only their vendor that they wouldnt provide until after the check is deposited. i called the bank that was on the FAKE check for them to inform me that the account number DID NOT match the name on the check sent to me. but i have given the interviewer my name, address, and bank that i use.
