Description

I was contacted thru Zip Recruiter about a job-did a brief Microsoft Teams interview (which was weird since it was via chat) and then 48 hours was told I got the job under Human Resources. Was told orientation was two weeks and that I needed a projector and that the company would send me a Mac to get started-etc. I was then overnighted a check from Servicemaster Restore with an address of Servicemaster fire and water restoration by S$R (weird spelling) 1501 Railroad Street, ********, CA *****. Says check is issued by US BANK. I called US Bank to try and verify the account and they were unable to do so over the phone. I do not believe this is a real check but part of a scam where I am to deposit the check then purchase items. The check came with a poorly written cut piece of paper that said: Hello and hope this Meets you well. The Enclosed check is for purchasing of the needed supplies to get started with the JOB. Email your full names to Mr **** ******. As soon as the check is received for Authorization of Deposit before you attempt to deposit the check. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT TO REJECTION OF THE CHECK AT THE BANK. SEND A COPY OF THE DEPOSIT SLIP TO THIS EMAIL ADDRESS [email protected] Please Ensure to follow all instruction carefully Thank you **** ****** Company CPA
