Description

I was contacted by text message about a job offer with Alterome Therapeutics. She directed me to someone, he claimed to be the hiring manager, Jeff Crays on TEAMS. After answering questions, he sent the tax forms and offer to my email to fill out and send back. Crazily, I did so with all my personal information on it. He sent me a photocopy of a check to deposit to use for purchasing the computer and items needed for the position. I should have known it was a scam right there. My bank declined that check and then he wanted my credit card information for deposit. I declined that so he sent another check for deposit. I have not attempted to deposit that one yet as it seemed weird to me. I was able to get his personal email off his TEAMS profile, [email protected].
