Scam Description
I received a message on facebook messager from a user named Abby Scott that a company called Radius Global Solutions was offering online data entry positions with flexible hours. They asked to download an app called Telegram Messenger and to text the code JOB24434 to https://t.me/Radiusgs. Once that was done, they asked all kinds of interview questions only by text messages, no phone calls. They wanted personal information and emailed a fake check for the amount of 3,550.00 to be deposited into my bank account for home equipment and software that was to be delivered to my home. Once that was done, they wanted to know immediately. I knew this was a scam, so I played along and gave them fake information. They wanted my bank name and my bank information which was a big red flag.
