I just received this text message. I had one from a different company yesterday almost exactly the same.
Good day,You are receiving this message regarding your resume submited for the Customer Service /Data Entry has been reviewed and you are qualified for a job interview for the position. I want you to setup a Telegram Account and if you have one, add Mrs Mary Littleton the Hiring Manager and IM her Via Telegram with this link ( https://t.me/marylittleton ) ASAP for the interview and job briefing following our newest online screening introduced, the interview session will commence online.To Contact our Hiring ManagerName: Mary LittletonTelegram : https://t.me/marylittletonCompany Name: Conversa-Health Inc..Time: ASAPBest of luck,Human Resources Department.
I received a request to join Telegram and send IM request to Mary Littleton, HR Manager for Conversa-Health Inc. We instant messaged back and forth then she sent me 10 questions to answer for the interview. After answering questions offered me a job and to send me a check for equipment after already asking me if I had all the equipment, which I did. I asked them for proof of legitimacy right then. Crickets…
Just received such an offer today via Telegram which basically used identical script as reported above. They are also sending me the computer, fax, scanner, printer via Fedex. Also sending a check since I told them I was not comfortable giving out bank info.
Good thing I chose to look into this company and found this posting.
Thank you so very much, this could have been such a devastating event. (How Sad) 🙁

Type of a scam Employment
I applied for a position with Conserva Health by email. I sent a copy of my resume and a cover letter. I received an email ( I will copy and paste below)
After receiving this email I added this individual on google hangouts and provided him with the job ID. He wanted to go straight into an interview. I’ve been applying for so many jobs that I told him I needed time to review the job information. He posted this link https://conversahealth.com/. I review the questions while asked me a series of questions. (I’ll copy and paste some of that below too)
They sent a check the next business day via FedEx (no signature required or anything, just left it under my door) for $4,900. The provided instruction to send picture of the deposit, (hoping to get your account information). My spidey senses kept going off so I google checked (I wish I would have did that before I deposited the check) I’ve sinced blocked them and my bank has placed a long enough hold on the check where it will go back. Thank God all I’m out of is a few bank fees. These people should be placed under the jail cell. He used phrases like "have a Blessed day" He was super nice . I hope this helps someone else. DO NOT DEPOSIT CHECKS SENT TO YOU VIA FEDEX FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE, COMPARE THE ROUTING NUMBER ON THE CHECK TO THE BANKS’S ROUTING NUMBER (they didn’t match )

***THE SCAMMERS ARE THE ACCREDITED VENDOR***
I disregarded all my instincts this time and actually deposited the check. I waited until after I deposited to google check and learned the truth. I’m hoping this helps someone before the go as far as I did. Many people have also been scammed via Indeed with similar scams. Google hangout interviews is the biggest RED FLAG I should have noticed. I’ve done all type of interviews but NEVER a google hangout interview.
