Description

Standard Industries sent me an email about an interview for a remote analyst position. I had to interview on the Team Microsoft App. On the app, I interviewed with Dan. He offered me the job in hours. I sent over photo of me, photo of my license, filled out a W4 form. Then he tried to send me a check through email which I knew was not going to work. I told him I was having issues with the check and he said he was going to send a paper check but he thought it would be best for me to buy the items necessary to start the job with my own money. I told him I could wait on the check. He kept being persisted about me going ahead and buying the items. I knew something was wrong, but now they have my SSN, driver license's my mom's information.
