Description

I applied on Ziprecruiter and Indeed. Skypoint Insurance Group was lists on both. I applied on a Friday and was responded to later that night by email. I set up an interview for the morning. This was a remote position for Administrative Assistant. The interview was done over Teams chat. It went very normal for the interview. They responded later that day that they wanted to start the onboarding process and were going to issue me a check for a sign on bonus and to start materials because part of my job would be to speak with the vendors to arrange materals. This would be a verison of a test. At 9pm they asked me on Teams to go to the store to get software to expedite the shipping of my materials. I humored them to see what they wanted because I was immediately unsure about doing that. They wouldnt tell me what I was getting until I got there. When I did arrive, they wanted an Apple Card. I assumed credit card. I was told I needed a $200 gift card. I told them I needed the night to think it over. The next morning I agreed, but only after they told me I did not have to give them the info. I would be speaking to the vendors myself. Later that day they asked for the card info. I told them not until the check they gave me clears. They assured me that it would Monday morning(it was Sunday night by now). They check then had a fraud hold on it until Friday by the bank. I was assured the bank would push it through by Friday. This morning(Wednesday) I wake up and find my bank telling me that the check is being reversed. I call the bank and tell them what is going on and they helped me cancel the check. This company has a website and a location that they have on Google Maps that is for another insurance group. It is not them.
