Description

Theresa Hardy was the person who I was messaging with on Wire. When I googled her, she had blonde hair and was shown to be the Director of Human Resources from Widex, Inc. The interview was done on the Wire website, if that is real. She verified the bank I used, I ended up emailing a photo of my Driver License at the end after I signed a paper sent by Scarlet Bridget to "accept my position" with the company. She said the job paid $21 per hour during training and $35 an hour after training was over and I was working full time. She promised the company would be sending me a Mac laptop and a check to purchase equipment with which to do the data entry job. She asked my age at the beginning of the interview, but no other personally identifying information until the end. Because I found the website to be legit online and found her photo with her name and being a Director of Human Resources, I thought nothing of it and went along with the whole scam. Now I have to go to the bank in the morning and close my account and possibly even change banks.
