Type of a scam Employment
I received an E-mail about a job interview from a LinkedIn account for a position I was looking for, and after the interview I was hired and told that I would get a check in the mail later to buy equipment. Once I did I felt something was off and did some research and discovered that it was a scam.
I tried to call the company but there was no answer but got two emails from the scammer about sending the check with a deposit slip into my account, which I never did do.

This seems like a long-con phishing scam under the guise of a remote web/graphic design employer. this was the initial email I received.
"Hello Dan,
Your interview schedule has been placed for Today Wed Apr. 17 at 9 am and we will be looking forward to having a splendid section with you on google hangout. Kindly join our representative on Google Hangout using the email address [email protected]
Thank You,
Recruitment Office,
Matrix Digital Inc."
Then after an hour of an job interview in Google Hangouts, I was offered a position and instructed to buy home office products. Seems like an overpayment scam? I found this online but nothing on your site so thought I’d forward this on.
