Description

I had recently put my resume on some websites to look for a remote data entry job. I received a email message 8/23/23 from someone named Cindy Mill stating that my resume credentials had been approved at Enpro Industries Company. She asked me to get on the app called Skype to have an interview through app there with a Nathan Roger, head of hiring recruiters dept at Enpro Industries Company. I had the interview with Mr. Rogers on 8/28/23. He commented that I was approved and offered a position. He said they were going to send me a check to buy some computer software and office equipment to set up my home office to use a website they work with regularly. The only info I gave them of my personal was the name of my bank (zero info about my accounts there), and my home address, phone number. H said they would be emailing me with paperwork that needs to be filled out for taxes and an offer letter. I was to receive the check via email print it out and mobile deposit it. I was to screen shot mt deposit receipt (that does show the last 4 numbers of my account). He immediately requested I forward him $400.00 of the available for process the equipment purchases. I express my concern about forwarding any fund until the check was processed and cleared. I looked up Enpro Industries website, they are a very large firm with offices all over the world and over 4,000 employees. Red flags started to show such none of the email correspondence were Enpro as expected, instead Gmail or AOL. The check was issued from a Cristina Watson, Decatur, AL and not from Enpro Industries. The employment offer was fill with typos, not expected from a company of this size. I contacted Enpro Industries corporate office and spoke with HR department, who immediately identified this as fraud, that was previously reported. They told me to report it to the government. I also contacted my bank, note the check has posted and the funds are listed as available, however the check is still pending. I will not use these funds and if the check clear I will return the funds, should the check reach approval.
