Type of a scam Employment
I had applied for a work from home job through indeed.com and I received a text message from the above number saying that it was a Mr. William Smith with ODECEE asking if I was still interested in the position. When I replied that I was, I was given the name Bert Marshall as the hiring manager and was contacted for a online interview through yahoo IM. After completing a very long interview, I was offered a position. I was sent a check by FedEx overnigh mail which I was to use to purchase the equipment and materials needed for the work from home job. My bank put a hold on the check in order to protect me in case it was no good, which I was just contacted by bank letting me know check was fraudulent. I was also sent a Employment offer letter, which I signed and sent back. This morning, my bank let me know that the check was fraudulent. I was also ask by the company if I had a credit card, I was concerned about this so I told them I did not have one.
