Type of a scam Employment
I was contacted via email by jobnetwork about a position for a work at home Data Entry/Administrative/Customer Service position. The email stated that the hiring manager Patricia Coleman from Intercytex LTD would be conducting an online interview, to discuss the job details and Pay scale. They proceeded to ask me to download Google hangouts, an instant messaging app, to speak with Ms Patricia Coleman the hiring manager at Intercytex LTD. She then gave me an online interview asked me a couple of questions and told me I had been picked for the job and that I would be making $15 per hour during training and once I complete training I would make $35 per hour. She also told me the company would send me a hp laptop and a check to purchase software I would need to complete my job duties. Still thinking at this time this a legitimate offer I did some research on the company they are out of the UK. The red flag was when she told me that they were sending me a check to purchase the equipment, she gave me my address which I never disclosed to her. My address is nowhere on my resume because I have not updated in over 3 years. I also just moved to this address and had notified anyone of the move not of by creditors, banking financial institutions or anything, I have only been at the address for about 3 weeks. Be curious of how they obtain my information puzzled me. So I asked her to call me her response was I will have my superiors call you to answer questions. I was baffled by her response I will have my superiors give you a call. I have deleted the Google hangout app, blocked all emails. I would not have reported it but because I saw similar scams on this website with the same M.O. I realized that it was not a legitimate offer.
