Description

I submitted my resume through Indeed and Linkedin looking for a remote Administration position. I was contacted by who I thought was Richard Brown from Elevance Healthcare. He set up a remote interview. After the interview I was informed that I got the position and to download the app Workchat, as this is where I would be receiving all of my work assignments. He informed me that the company would be sending out all of the needed equipment to my house and a contractor would be setting everything up for me. He then emailed me an Offer of Employment with a start date of Monday, June 10, 2024 and a W-4, along with requesting a copy of my Driver's License. I filled all of this out and sent it back. I did google the company and everything aligned with what I saw online. On Monday, I logged onto the App to clock in and inform Mr. Brown that none of the computer equipment had arrived. I received no reply. On Tuesday, I logged in again and was then informed that in order to receive the equipment, I would have to buy a $100.00 Apple Pay card and pay for the activation of the software. I explained that computer software does not work like that. All activation is included with the purchase price of the software. I also explained that there should be no reason a legitimate vendor would be charging a separate activation fee and would be requesting payment through debit/credit card not an Apple Pay card. He is still insisting that I purchase an Apple Pay card.
