Description

I was contacted by Prelude Software Solutions Inc about a job I had applied for on Indeed. All communication was via Microsoft Teams App or via email. After a lengthy interview which resulted in me getting hired, i was emailed new hire paperwork to fill out. I submitted this paperwork, which included a job contract, W-4, and my banking info for direct deposit of paychecks. Tgis paperwork included all of my personal information...name, address, checking account info, ssn, license, etc. After my paperwork was submitted is when things got fishy. Originally the company was supposed to provide me with the materials needed to be able to do the job, including a company computer, phone and the necessary software, etc. This was communicated to me early on and several times. I was them asked to pay for part of it out of my pocket, and they would reimburse me. I then knew it was a scam. I have the entire Microsoft Teams App thread with all communication between us. I will attach the so called supervisors info (John Taylor was his supposed name) and a snapshot of our initial communication.
