Description

I was asked to complete a detailed questionnaire about job situations. They said it was a remote position that would pay 900 a week for 2 weeks training and then $45 after training. I never talked to anyone. I then received a email stating that I was hired and payments would be through zelle. A W4 was never mentioned when I asked questions about the W4 and the extremely high wages for a position that normally does not pay that type of wages. I never received a response. I entered the phone number that was given into Google and immediately there was a match to the situation that I went through.
