Description
The company texted me about an application they received on my behalf (I did not send an application to this company). Mrs. Jessica Williams and Mrs. Ellyn Johnson sent a message stating they had a Data entry/ Customer Service/ admin assistant position available working from home with a starting pay of $37 per hour. They interviewed me via microsoft teams (texting) and sent over a check of 2,500 USD and but it had bounced when I tried to deposit it. They said that I needed to send over 250 USD for tracking software (which I did). I sent the money to a "David Kingsley" via Zelle (Wells Fargo) who's number is 336-521-8728. He was supposedly the vendor that the company used to purchase the tracking software.
