Description
I was contacted by a supposed representative of Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, or LabCorp. I was skeptical at first, and lo and behold! I had never applied to such a position that they offered. However, I went along with it for a bit, in case my memory or emails were off. They wanted me to download TELEGRAM, a messaging app which I've noticed is mentioned many times by others scammed by this. The 'thing' that messaged me on TELEGRAM had interesting responses, so I suppose it was a soulless human being on the other end. Things were actually seeming fine, until they asked me what bank I used and for how long. That is not a question a legitimate company would ask. Bottom line: If you get a text from someone you have no records of, run away.
