Type of a scam Employment
i am in search of job. today at the morning of April 17, 2018 i receive text msg FROM NUMBER 16692280609 in such a text – hello. *** and how are you doing? i am mr.Newton Walker from (TPG Telecom Company) we have reviewed your resume, thoroughly would to interview you. Reply back if interested. I did reply and been asked to install Hangouts app to make this interview through. i’ve been given of email of the person [email protected] at the beginning it does sound as interview with question-answer i was told that its full time position from home, as company planning to open own place soon in my city. Ive been told that for my work i will require apple computer and several types of software that will provide employer, and i will have to pay only shipping, i asked if i can pay shipping on pick-up, this woman said no, ill have to send them all the sum via western union as cash pick-up or by money gram. at that time i already realized its a FRAUD i did quickly opened their website and trued to find contact number to call them, but it didnt have any, than i asked to send me JOB OFFER and it is said that i am invited to SYSTEM ANALIST position, there is wasnt any turms, conditions, my duties, no ‘head’ where must be full address and phone number, none of those. So, this woman said to me that my shipment will cost me $800, and i said i dont have it, and i said i have only half, she asked me if i can send $500? i said i have to think about it, asked where from she is calling she said right away from Los Angeles, CA. she have been very pushy that i will send money right away, and was saying about my trust in company, and again if i trust send money. i said i cannot do any banking till another day, she said only till 8am e.t. I AM SURE THIS IS FRAUD, AND POSSIBLY PICTURE WAS STOLLEN. she spent with me time from 2:52pm till 5:53pm no HR that will spent more than 30 min. BE CAREFUL PEOPLE AS ON MY EMAIL START COMING OFFERS FOR CREDIT CARD, DATING SCAMS.

Type of a scam Employment
The "HR hiring manager" interviewed via Google hangouts, they said I would be making $25/hr for a work at home position. After I was "hired" they said I’d be receiving a check to purchase equipment. I felt it was a scam and asked for a number to contact and am now blocked from sending anymore messages. It was a red flag that he referred to him self as Mr. Stephen and had bad grammar. Did not ask any personal info such as bank routing information or social security number.
