Description

Texts last week until Saturday, 2/3/24 supposedly from Michael Leon at 405-215-4111 that said they were offering me a job that paid $35/hr. After gaining access to my personal information using www.4irs.gov (id.me) and surveyheart.com for background check, giving him access to ALL of my personal information, he said that the expense for the office equipment had to come out of my own pocket before anything would ship. He also tried to get me to open up a new bank account from Broadstreet Bank that was 2 hours away to supposedly be able to deposit the funds for the reimbursement later of the office equipment, but only after I paid the minimum balance required to have the account open. When I said I couldn’t do this, nor pay $1,500 out of my pocket for the office equipment, he said that he could cover all but the cost for the printer but wouldn’t ship it until I sent the payment of $350 for the printer. When I declined paying for anything, he stopped responding.
