Description

I was sent a text message saying that I was selected for a medical data entry position through the company of trinity health of Michigan. In order to do the interview I needed to download the message app signal and speak with the recruiter named Barbara Welch. I downloaded the app and proceeded to communicate with her about the position she gave thorough information and proceeded with the interview. After 2 hours she came back and said that I was accepted and that I was hired for the job. After she sent me emails with the forms to complete like a normal job would do I filled it out. She then said that she would be sending me a check over email to mobile deposit into my bank account in order to get started. The check was for $890. She said that once that check deposited into my account then I would’ve connected with an agent to order the equipment needed for this position. I told her twice after she asked if I had a credit card no and she got upset and stopped responding. On Thursday last week I received an email from my bank capital one to call them in regards to the check. They then proceeded to tell me that the check was fraudulent and that they had no choice but to close my account down and did so.
