Type of a scam Employment
A “representative “ told me via email through Career Builder that I s selected for a customer service representative position and that I needed tov respond via email and that the interview would take place on Google Hangouts, or via Skype.
I thought, ok great! I will reply and log onto Skype. The only contact I was given was a Gmail email address, and a Skype address.
So I logged onto Skype the next day and had my interview. It was NOT a video interview. They were just basic questions about what hours I wanted to work, when I wanted to start. What shocked me was that they wanted me to get certain accounting software, and that they would provide me with a new Apple laptop, iPhone, and fast speed internet connection. When I asked about the software, they said that I would be sent a check to cover the cost, and that I could deposit it when received. I see then told to take out a $200.00 "bonus" payment for myself and the rest would be for the purchases.
