Description

I applied for a remote position and was emailed by someone claiming to be interested in me from the company I applied to. They invited me to discuss it further on Google chat. They requested an image of my Driver license. Sent me an offer letter then proceeded to send me a check for mobile deposit to purchase home office equipment for my job duties. Wanted me to purchase it from their vendor.
