Scam Description
The scammer contact me by Linkedin and sent to me email to schedule interview by Teams App and the scammer initiated a written interview with me, I provide personal information, full name, address, phone number, bank’s name, interests and carrier experience, age. I have not provided details about account number, Id, SSN. Also, he told me that he was sending a check to buy the equipment for remote work. Finally, he sent me an offer letter, when I realized suspicious activity since the email was sent by personal email (gmail) and the offer was not signed by the company representative. So, immediately I asked him to send from corporate email, but he has never done. After that, he told me the check was delivered at my door, but it has never happened, and I told him that I was going to report as phishing.
