I apply for a remote job, thinking it was legit. I get a response from someone by the name of Annie merritt Which should’ve been a clue right there because typically people will capitalize their first and last name. So I was asked to series a questions for her to come back and say oh I was in the 90% and they loved my answers. Asked a bunch of little bullshit Like my Social Security number wanted to see my drivers license back in front and if I had any credit card debt, which I said no. All this to finally tell me that I would be needing to purchase some equipment, but they’ll send me a check which I could deposit in my ATM or my bank. That’s when I got suspicious. I asked what bank with this check be drafted from and could they actually just do direct deposit and that’s when things got weird. Whoever this was was off obviously a man because he got defensive saying I shouldn’t ask any questions. I should just “ obey “ and do what I’m told. Who speaks like that in a professional setting? Kept saying just send me your email information You’ll know everything you need to know the crazy part is he asking for my email address all the time emailing me. Duh. So this is the old scam that they send you a fake check you deposited into your account tell you two days later to withdraw the amount knowing that the funds won’t clear and now you’re account is in the negative. These thieves are so pathetic and I believe the FBI should actually get involved in this. Beware and stay alert folks. It’s weird out here.
