Type of a scam Employment
I was contacted by and company via text claiming to have viewed my resume in ziprecuiter (which i never used) then i was instructed to contact the HR Manger via google hangout (a messenger app) about a customer service position then i was told the resume was viewed on indeed.com. A time was set up for a briefing about the company and job and that they were looking for 16 people to hire because they would be opening a few branches in the near future near my area.I was interviewed via the messenger app and was told I was hired then i was sent a contract (that i never signed) stating that I have been hired.The company then sent me a check and told be to deposit it into my account the deduction 300 as my sign on bonus and and use the rest to buy supplies and software. Once the funds of the check have cleared they will tell me how to purchase the software through their vendor. I was very uncomfortable to so never deposited the check and asked where can I return it they kept insisting that I deposit it and withdraw the fund to send somewhere else to return them and I told them I am not doing that and I will keeping the check until it is voided at that time I was told to be prepared for what I was asking for.
