Type of a scam Employment
I needed a job so I signed up with all the recruiting company’s advertising on the internet. Received an invitation for a job thru an online request. Job was from Anthem, Inc. I opened the app “Wire” as directed, and that is the only place we talked. After several days of them bull, they finally laid the bomb that: I needed to give them $500 to pay to have the license keys opened on the computer they were going to send me. When I said I had no money they said “how about $200?” Then I knew for sure it was a scam. The man’s name online was Antonio Dante.

I was looking for a job on indeed and applied for a at home job was contacted by someone from Anthem Inc everything is done by hangout. I was accepted to do a interview and application information ask for bank account information to set up direct deposit. Then I was told that I need a lab top and supplies for this job OK no problem. I was send a check to my account than was ask to go to Walmart and buy gift cards to send to some vendor. When I see a red flag I contacted them through hangout and ask why gift card not a cashier’s check. So they won’t me to send money in gift cards to a vendor and I don’t even know the name. They will not give me the name of the person. I asked for human resource personnel so I can asked if I’m employee and why do I need to send money to vendor when you are the company. I was told to this once to show trust and then the manger or the human resource will contact me after my task is completed.

They offer you a job almost immediately in an interview via Google Hangout app. Try to get your information so they can send you a check to purchase a work laptop with all kinds of software. Stay away!
