Description

The job post originated from Indeed. https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?from=app-tracker-post_apply-appcard&hl=en&jk=2a1ab3ffe9cf4a80&tk=1jalmkp43oii3800 I applied and was later contacted by this company via email asking me to join a Microsoft Teams virtual interview. **Please refer to attachment for screenshot of the email. I joined the meeting and after answering bunch of what looked like normal interview questions via Teams texting format, I was told I was hired. I was then told I must purchase related software and laptop via their trusted 3rd party vendor in order to do the job. The interviewing agent then said a E-check will be sent to me and I will use the E-check to make the purchase. At that point I began to feel skeptical in regard to the legitimacy of the whole recruitment process. They later sent me another email asking me to sign some documents. In the letter it reiterated regarding a check used to pay for equipment. **Please refer to attachment for screenshot of the email.
