Type of a scam Employment
I applied to Data Entry Clerk position for Drawbridge Health through Zip Recruiter. On Monday, June 10th, I was contacted through text message [+1 (516) 690-9276] by a Susan Clayton saying that my application was received and liked, it was a work from home position making $25/hr with benefits and to contact Holly Logue ([email protected]) via Google Hangouts to proceed. Ms. Logue interviewed me for the position and told me the next morning that I was offered the position and was to report to a Greg Nagy ([email protected]) for training. I spoke to him immediately and he told me more about what the job entails. According to him I will "provide data support to the Legal department and play a supporting role in managing a database. As a data specialist, you will participate in a variety of duties involved in collecting data, analyzing data, organizing and maintaining data collected to establish a comprehensive and effective database and developing recommendations and action plans." In addition to being provided money for home equipment. He asked for my bank account account and routing number and emailed me the official offer and a Non-Disclosure Agreement to sign which I did and emailed back to him.
On Friday, June 14th, I was credited $2,000 by a “Suffolk Federal” to my bank account that I then had to go to my bank to get a check for and then go to the nearest Bank of America to deposit a cashier check to a Chinenye Onwumere in Texas to purchase the equipment. I did it and he told me that the total of the equipment was $6,000 and that I would have to make the same trip that I did on Friday two more times- on Saturday, the 15th and again on Monday, the 17th before training could start. Saturday morning, I did not receive the $2,000 and let Greg know and he told me by Monday it would go through.
Now on Monday, June 17th instead of crediting my account in order the equipment, I was told to use $2,000 of my own money to purchase the equipment and I would get reimbursed for it the next day with a 10% profit. I was getting a bit concerned so I emailed the official Drawbridge Health website I found online ([email protected]) to make sure this is how the progress went.They then told me that it was a fraud scheme and that Drawbridge Health has no data entry openings.
