Scam Description
A person from the supposed company “Halo Bioventures” reached out to me on my mobile phone number asking for an interview on Microsoft Teams. I was giving a verification code once I was set on the Microsoft teams app, and proceeded a CHAT interview with a person called Jessica Combs. For the duration of the interview, it was very professional. Questions were reasonable and didn’t raise flags until they wanted me to fill out a back ground check (understandable) and a W-4 tax form. I was suppose to send it to her but to make sure, I asked her about how to contact the company via email or phone number but she kept deflecting with another question or avoid the question all together. I had asked her like 4 times for contact information but never got a response back and was always left of read. This is for Data Entry Clerk remote position for Halo Bioventures.
