Description
I was contacted through text message, as I currently am looking for employment. The scammer used the name Stephen Townsend and sent me documents to fill out for a job and send back. I filled out the information with my social security and ID. After sending in the documents, I did further research realizing they had forged the CEO's name at Black & Decker, Andrea Ayers. I asked my recruiter why I would be receiving documents from Black & Decker's CEO, when I was hired to work for Big Frog. He denied sending me anything with Andrea's signature, though I have saved the evidence. I have stopped all communication now. He is using Microsoft teams for the interview process, offering high pay for entry level work. I believe he is using several different companies and just messed up and sent the wrong forged paperwork.
