Description

This job reached out to me off of LinkedIn, I applied to them because it seemed like a good job and I was looking for remote work. They reached out via email telling me I was picked for an interview and they would be calling me from the number I provided. They did call and asked normal phone interview questions so I assumed it was fine (I have never interviewed for a remote position before this so I just assumed this is how this worked). They then took a couple of days and offered me the job, great, I quit my job that I had to work here. First day they told me to download Webex (which again is a normal thing to use) but they say this is the only form of contact, there are no more phone numbers you can call just the one person who is your "training supervisor" that you can contact via Webex. Anyway, They had me doing tasks because the job I got hired for was an admin assistant, so I was sorting through resumes and taking information from them like name, email, and phone number. Again this seemed okay considering this was supposed to be an admin assistant job. Yesterday they told me I was going to learn their investment process, and that this is how I will learn and deal with company funds. The process they wanted me to do is as follows: Have clients send a check to my home address (because I am remote), deposit the clients check into my PERSONAL bank account, and then in 3-5 days I can move the money around into their investment fund. But also do this with bitcoin through LibertyX which doesn't seem like a very safe website. Luckily I am not dumb to do something like this as it sounds like something very illegal to do, and no company should ask this of you. When I told them I wasn't comfortable with this they told me they would terminate me from the job if I did not do what was asked, and again I did not. Unfortunately they do have my banking information, my drivers license and a photo of me (for proof of identity). I have since moved my money from my banking and made a new account that they do not have access to but I am worried because they have my ID and a photo of me and I feel like they can use this against me or make a fake profile to scam people. There is supposedly a REAL company called the Everest Capital Group but when I tried to call them it went to someone's personal email which I though was weird considering it is supposed to be a company phone? I did put that I was scammed out of money because I worked for 4 days and they did not pay me for this they just terminated me for not doing what was asked when it came to the "investment process". I have documentation of all of this and the employment contract, the application and other things as well if needed.
