Description

I am looking for a job working remote, received a text advising they have reviewed my resume and that I would be a perfect fit. They asked that I download Microsoft Teams and communicate with a Patrick Vandewalle. So, I did, he proceeded to interview me in the teams chat and asked me to hold on and came back saying that they will hire me. The next morning, I received a letter of offer. I got back on teams chat with him and talked some more and signed the letter of offer, it all seemed ok, then he wanted me to use my money to download some software that I would need. I asked if they supply the computer or do I have to use mine, he said they will supply me with everything that I will need for this job, they will cut me a check, meanwhile, am I able to use my own money to get things started and I will get reimbursed. I told him no, out of a job and would prefer to wait on check. He again asked me to hold, he was going to check something with payroll, came back saying that payroll will email me a check and I can deposit via banking online. I was surprised, just red flags all over the place. Next step, he advised that they are affiliated with someone who I will send the money to, and they will have my computer delivered to me in 24hrs and once delivered the software will be email to me to download. Just found that strange. Wanted me to send $1,000 via cash app, well it failed, then he asked that I send via Zelle, just was not comfortable with this. I had to keep sending him screen shots of the money being deposited to my checking acct, screen shot of me sending to Zelle. I declined the job and told my back to deny the money transfer
