Description
I was hired for employment for a remote position. They sent me an email for a check that I had to print out and deposit for supplies. They wanted me to cash app them most of the money. But instead, I wire transferred it. When I called talent, Steed to make sure this was their hiring process the phone rang and then nothing. When I questioned their process via Microsoft Teams, he said it was a legitimate position. As soon as the check hit my bank account, they wanted me to immediately transfer them the money. Not to another company, but to a person. when I canceled the wire transfer, they’ve been calling and texting sense.
