Description

I received an email from a job I do not remember applying to for Data Entry Clerk. I visited the website and everything seemed to match. I was asked to complete an assessment by an "HR assistant" named Sarah Hopkins. After a very short assessment process and no interview, I received an offer letter, stating I would be RECEIVING A CHECK IN THE MAIL FOR THE PURPOSES OF PURCHASING A "MANDATORY SOFTWARE LICENSE." This was the first red flag because a job should never be sending you a check for mobile deposit. I researched further on Reddit and it turns out, other people have experienced the same occurrence. They received offer letters written verbatim with the exact same description. It is a scam in which they post as legitimate companies and expect you to deposit a check.
