I had received a job offer through a legitimate company. However, the company that actually offered me the job was not legitimate. They had sent me tax forms that looks legitimate where I had to put my Social Security and my full name on there. I had an interview via Microsoft Teams app and they sent me a check to deposit into my account and had told me to send out the money via wire transfer to Anita that they had disclosed to me. That’s when I thought things were weird and I googled what to do.
