Description

I was contacted by someone in the company by the name of Richard Reed, from the email address of the following: [email protected] saying that they wanted to interview me. And that I had to do the interview over Teams Chat with them. They stated that the had seen my resume (not sure how, as I did not apply with them) and that they thought I would be a good candidate for the job that was WFH. We went through some sort of interview process, and they said I was hired. They even sent me some sort of sign-on paperwork that I had to fill out and send back. Come to find out that this was all a scam. They wanted me to send them money ($1300), which unfortunetly, I sent, so that I could get my "WAH equipment". Now, at this point in time, I have no idea who I am dealing with. I kept telling them that I wanted my money back, but they keep making up excuses as to why they cannot. There were 3 people involved with all of this. At least these are the names that I was given: Richard Reed Lisa Doering Yolanda Williams Now the last name on this list, was the person that I had sent the funds to (the supposed vendor for the equipment) through PayPal, and they told me to lable it "FRIENDS & FAMILY ONLY", which stupidly, I did. When I tried to dispute it with PayPal, they said that they were legitimate charges because of the "FRIENDS & FAMILY ONLY" wording in the money being sent. These people keep pressuring me to send them another $500, which I do not have, to supposedly be able to get paperwork for the return of my $1300.00, which makes no sense to me. I have all the text messages that have been sent back and forth between me and supposedly this company. I also had someone text my cell phone one night (claiming to be the real Richard Reed) and that it was the CEO of this company, that told him to contact me. Now these people on Teams know that this fake Richard Reed has been contacting me also. How, I do not know. They keep saying that I did not follow the company rules and regulations about getting my $1300.00 back. They keep trying to send me fake checks to cash and then send them the left over funds.
