Description

I was contacted about a work at home job that was posted on Facebook. The person (Chris Alex) was the training recruiter and said that because it was a lot of equipment I had to make a deposit on it for the vendor to send to me. He said they needed to be Apple gift cards since it was Apple equipment . I looked Paycor up and it is a legit company. So I purchased some Apple gift cards and sent pictures of them to him. After a little bit, my daughter asked what I was doing and I told her. She said it was a scam and text him to stop asking for money. He called and basically said my daughter did know anything about it and I needed to send the money because everyone else had and she told him to stop calling and texting and if he was legit he could refund the money sent. I have not received any money. I reported it to the FBI scammers dept. I have all cards, receipts, and text messages pertaining to this person
