I am new at this, so I thought oh wow OK this is what I have been looking for. So I got on google hangout and added her as a buddy, mind you I have never done this kind of interview before so I had no idea what to expect. She proceeded to ask me question, as why should I be hired for the job, then asked me what my bank name was I did tell them the name of my bank ( I DID NOT give bank account number or SSN, I did give them my name, address,and phone numbers ( home and Phone). She said they had these positions open: Data Entry/ Receptionist/ Administrative Assistant/ Office Assistant/ Clerical Admin/ Accounting Clerk, and Human Resource Assistant openings. they offered me $50 an hour and $15 for training. They had me verify my name, address, phone number to send me a check for my office equipment, they were sending it threw FedEx the next day I was to receive it. My husband and I got red flags, the FedEx came today 12/10/2016 I got on Google hangout and let Kathy know the check was here the check is a Cashiers Check for $3990.10 for equipment. She told me to go to the bank ATM and deposit the check, it will take 24 hours to clear. When I got back from the bank I was to take a picture of the deposit slip and email it to her. I told her I was waiting till Monday to go to my bank and have the check , checked to see if it was a scam, she demanded me to go to the bank now and deposit it. I said I will not.( I am handing the check over to my bank) I asked Kathy Ann what her first and last name was and she told me Ann Kathy. I said No I want full first name and last, I am on the BBB site now as we speak, she told me Ann Johnson, and then she told me no need for that Bye for now. I hope this helps anyone else who has this happen to them. She also told me that a temp office is located in Gainesville Fl., and that they have one coming into Chemung NY , but would not tell me when.
