I am looking for a job and was contacted via email by [email protected] I was asked to do a hangout interview with [email protected] who interviewed me and offered me a position with capgemini. The next day I was again asked to do a hangout interview with [email protected] This was to be a work at home position and they would pay for me to purchase laptop, fax Machine etc.
A cashiers check was fedexed to my home the following morning for $3987.00. I was instructed to deposit the check and my bank placed a 5 day hold on the check. Raymond asked that I go to HEB and purchase 5 $200 eBay gift cards so that I could purchase necessary items. I told him the bank put a hold on the check and he insisted check was good and to buy the gift cards. I told him that I would not until check cleared. I went back to my bank who called the issuing bank who said they had no record of the cashier check. The check was rejected yesterday and I was to.d to refer to submitter. The person that sent me the check was Joanne Vogt, Dresser Root Meters Inst inc, 16240 Port NW, suite 100, Houston Texas 77041, 907-897-4302.
