Description

I was a graduating college student and was initially contacted by an "HR Manager" under the name of BR who claimed that my resume on Indeed.com was a great fit for a fully remote "Purchasing Assistant" role at her company "Norvin Trucking LLC". After a lengthy correspondence, I was asked to provide a valid driver's license and my account and routing number for direct deposit payments after a 30 day paid probation period after passing the phone interview. Then, on my start date, I was instructed to perform the job by withdrawing/depositing "invoice" funds between my personal account and a "counter-agent account". After my suspicions were confirmed and I didn't give ANY financial information, I asked to speak to someone face-to-face on zoom, but was told that company policy was to keep all communication written only. Then once I declared that my employment was over, I was presented with reasons as to "why I wouldn't get hacked". In addition, the "HR Manager" recommended that I open accounts for the services called Zelle and an international funds service called Wise.
