Description

I was hired as a logistic coordinator and an online chat support. After completing the application I was advised via the website that I was hired and would receive a $500 sign on bonus. I submitted a copy of my drivers license and social security number. This company sent a G-Bank visa card, I was told via text to use the credit card for the bonus and there was additional $500 on the card for software that was needed to do the job I was hired for. I called the bank associated with the card and was told the card was not registered in my name. When I reported this information back to Appen USA, to a Kim Brunner I was given a Social Security number to use for the card and told to call the bank back. I called the bank and was told there is an investigation from the bank in regards to the visa card that was issued.
