Description

I have been applying for jobs on various different hiring sites this job was posted on LinkedIn as a Data Entry Assistant position I received a text message that stated their interest in having me do an interview and that they would sent more information soon. I was then sent a link to do an interview on zoom with a woman named Nicole Welcher and I went through a long process of questions being asked of me. I have kept all of the communications and I will be providing them as well. So went through the interview steps all via zoom chat and at the end I was told that I had done very well and that would be a perfect fit. The entire sharade is very detailed and very well thought out and they are fairly patient as well. Next she told me that she would be sending me money to purchase the software I would need to do the work. I should have known right then something was not right. She also sent letters of obligation to me as well to sign and date. The next thing that took place and this is when I realized that something was not right was when she wanted to send me money without any questions asked but whenever I said that I had a chime banking account she replied in almost an annoyed way that it needed to be a traditional bank and actual bank, it was the first time in the entire conversation that she typed a letter incorrectly so I knew something at that point had thrown the person I was chatting with off. Once I realized that something was up I asked my AI Copilot if it knew anything about this person, the company, and if there had been any reports made before and Copilot knew right away that this was a scam that had been reported before. I will upload everything I have recorded as evidence. The scammer did not mention a location or anything like that.
