Description

I was contacted regarding an interview through Microsoft Teams for a remote job offer through Indeed. They conducted the interview through the teams app and stated I will be on a zoom call with the hiring manager once hired. After the interview, they sent me a job offer, and requested access to my phone carrier account so that they may order both an iPhone/ipad under my account stating they will be responsible for the payment and they will make payment through my account. They also stated I would be the one to have to make the down payment for these devices which I felt was unusual because usually a company will provide all what is needed to work remotely. I went to the actual company’s website and reached out to them asking if they sent me a job offer. They quickly responded and stated they did not send the offer, as they are not currently hiring. I will attach offer letter from the scammer. It will not let me attach email from the original company, and the Microsoft teams information in which the scammer contacted me. I have that information as well.
