Description
I saw a posting on Facebook from Vidrine Jess about a work at home opportunity. I requested more info and was told to download Telegram and given a code to enter to start the interviewing process. I did download the app, and had a makeshift interview with an HR person (No name provided). I answered questions about who I am, work history and the like. I was told to wait because a hiring manager needed to review my answers. Shortly thereafter, I was told I was hired. Was sent a list of office things that they would be sending but the only think I needed was to acquire a new IPhone 15 Pro Max w/512gb. At that point, I started to feel like this was a scam.
