Type of a scam Employment
I was initially contacted through a text message saying they received my resume and to email if I was still interested. Because I have been actively applying to jobs, I didn’t think much about it. From there the offer was to be this guy’s personal assistant because he is always traveling and needs help. His client would send a check, which did arrive and I was to deposit it, take $1000 for my first weeks pay, an additional $20 for stamps, then the balance would be for any supplies that he needs me to purchase on his behalf. Then 2 weeks later he would send a laptop with the companies software. I would also be on a 3 month probationary period. He also offered full benefits with the pay being $1000 per week for 11 hours max of work. I did not deposit the check.
