Description

I was interested in vacant remote work opportunities and was directed to a TikTok users page named Alexis Mitchell. Stating to contact her via direct message for more information. Regarding remote work positions that were looking for qualified people to fill spots immediately. I contacted her and was given an interview authorization code. Then told to download the Microsoft team app. Where she forwarded me a link to go. That directed me to be interviewed by the next woman identified as April Wilson. She proceeded to ask me a series of about 40 questions. Covering my current employment status, work history, experience, education and background. After this was completed she stated she would need me to stay live in the application. While she submitted my answers to the HQ main for review. So, they may evaluate my answers to see if I were an ideal candidate for the position. About 4 hours later I received a message notification from April Wilson congratulating me. Stating I was selected and she forwarded me the job description and position I would be doing. Along with the paid training days and rates for the days I would be in training. She then gave me the weekly schedule and hours. As well as proposed pay rate after training would be complete. She asked if I agree with terms of the schedule hour's and pay (Which I did). Then we could move forward with getting me the equipment and supplies that company would be supplying. That they would be shipping it to me via FedEx to my address. Which she provided an item price sheet listing all the office equipment and pricing. Then she forwarded a photo showing them all boxed and labeled. As if she would be sending them out to FedEx immediately. After that I was told I would begin work training. As soon as the supplies arrived and she'd provide a tracking number to me for delivery purposes. That I was responsible for the equipment, and that my paperwork, direct deposit slips, and a company Visa credit card would be in there as well. She then went over the alleged policy for the money on the card, and the use of equipment. That it was specifically for work related use only. To confirm that I understood, and that there will be a nondisclosure user agreements included. That I would need to sign and send back with all my paperwork. Next, she stated that they had some procurement tasks for me to complete. Prior to the equipment arriving. Not for me to worry, because the company will be taking care of the expenses. She asked for me to go to a local grocery store and purchase Visa Activation Cards. To load funds on it for software that was needed for procurement tasks up to $500. That I will be reimbursed by the company's finance department via electronic deposit. I knew then the job offer and all was hoax and scam. She kept trying to get banking details, me to purchase a gift card to load funds, and account information from me. Each time I declined. I messaged Alexis Mitchell back on TikTok. To let her know I believe that job was a scandal. Then asked did she have any other's that were legitimate. Believing she was unaware but no. This woman blocked my account immediately after reading my message. She is part of the scam. So, please beware of any job offer's via her on her TikTok platform. They are scams and not job opportunities. They are looking to extort funds and steal from anyone that is gullible enough to hand them over their money. Or sensitive banking information and identity.
