Description
I was contacted with a business position by the HR department of said company and offered a position of employment after applying for the job on Indeed. They sent me an online check to print and deposit for $4985.55 for the equipment I would need to start the job. Then I was asked to send via CashApp or Paypal the funds to their vendor to purchase the equipment. Once purchased they would then ship me the equipment I needed to start the job. I did a mobile deposit but then after they told me to send the money via CashApp or Paypal I started searching online and came across another scam post that had the same details. I will be calling my back to report this.
