I got an email about a job interview to be completed online and to set up an account through telegram for the interview to take place. I, also, received a text message from the so-called HR Manager, Harry Johnson. Then, communication with the Harry and job description. Interview questions to answer. I was told that I got the job. An email was then sent to me confirming the job offer and then was told that I would need to go out and purchase for reimbursement. I said no. They told me that I would receive a check for purchasing supplies and told me what I needed to purchase. I received a check from UPS second air today and the check had a construction name on it. I tried to contact the company to see if it was legit. No answer so I contacted the bank that it was to be paid from and they checked for validation and told me that it was a fraud check. I told the person Harry that I would not be taking the job and not to contact me about it. I have the emails and the text message for verification along with the fraud check for $20,000 paid to me. I don't want this to happen to anyone else and that is why I am reporting it. Please do something. Thanks.
