Scam ID 1027992 reported to BBB on July 31, 2025 is the EXACT same situation that occurred with me. Copied and pasted for your review: I received an e-mail from Sarah Guilford HR Assistant ([email protected]) for a remote data entry job I didn’t recall applying for. Over the chain of emails exchanged, I was told they would send the equipment (preprogrammed computer, scanner) required for the position. I was then asked to participate in a skills assessment. I received an email with an offer letter (pdf) outlining the usual information (wage, benefits) with a twist. (Copied from document) FirstSense Medical. 6239 East Brown Road Mesa, AZ 85205, We are delighted to extend this offer of employment to you for the position of a Data Entry Clerk with FirstSense Medical. You will be required to complete the following tasks to proceed with what comes next in your hiring process. 1. You will be required to complete an identity verification process. Ms. Guilford will walk you through this process 2. Before you can commence your training, you will need to obtain a personal license for the software used in transmitting data, specifically for remote work purposes. The software requires every user to upgrade their account using their personal wallet, which must match the name on their account. This is in compliance with the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws. Therefore, the company will issue an expense check to you specifically for the purpose of getting started. You are expected to use the funds from the check only for the purpose of acquiring the license.

Please sign and return same via email in acceptance. If you accept this offer, your start date will be 11th of August 2025 or another mutually agreed upon date Warm regards, Michelle S. Bowman. CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, FIRSTSENSE MEDICAL. As additional information, I contacted the telephone number listed on Yelp for FirstSense Medical. That telephone number is (602) 603-0749. The person I spoke with stated that FirstSense medical was a company about seven years ago that she believes went out of business. She also stated that she has recently received several telephone calls from people stating they were hired for a Data Entry position with FirstSense medical; however, the telephone number listed on Yelp belongs to another company, not FirstSense Medical. She HIGHLY ADVISED to proceed with caution because this is obviously a very elaborate scam.
