I put my resume on indeed, career builder, and monster. I was contacted from someone from Redlife Healthcare telling me they came across my resume on career builder and with my background and qualifications that I would be a perfect fit for their company. The email proceeded to tell me that if I was interested to click on a link to confirm my interest, and then I was to click on another link to add them on google hangouts.
I set the interview up and began the process. They told me I needed a laptop, a blue ray drive and all kinds of accounting software. They then told me I didn’t have to worry about the cost because they had vendors that they have been dealing with for sometime. They also explained how sometimes the company will pay off your debt as a courtesy of the company. This morning a check arrived at my address via fedex for $4,857 dollars and this made me skeptical. I began googling what would happen if I cashed this check and one link told me to call the institution where the check was coming from, and I did. The man at the bank told me not to cash the check because it was fake.

They contacted me to say I was hired for a work from home job. They would send me a check to cover the purchase of a computer and the soft ware I would need to do the job. They tried to get my banking information under the guise of direct deposit for checks. Then they tried to get credit card and banking information under the guise of ‘paying off’ my credit cards. They asked how much I owed but also wanted to know the limit on my card. We communicated via Yahoo messenger. When that didnt work, they said they would send me a check to ‘make purchases’ for them for ‘the orphanage’. We’d never discussed an orphanage until then. They did send me a check with instructions to ‘deposit it immediately’ but obviously it was not a good check, and I did not deposit it. I still have it. The check was mailed from California.

IR
You
Jan 18, 8:38 AM
I thought we already resolved that. I dont want to take any money from you until I know for sure I can do the job.
I could return a lap top if the job does not work out. But if I cant do the work then I’ll owe you nearly $3000
RJ
ramond
Jan 18, 8:40 AM
Like i said if you eventually do that
you wont owe $3000
The reason why we pay off your credit cards is because you will be making purchase for the orphanage on behalf of the company
If you cannot do that, then we wont pay off those cards
You can print this conversion as proof if you wish

You do realize that IF I deposited that check, and I won’t, I would wait until it cleared the bank before I drew any money out of the account, dont you?
And IF it was a good check, and we both know it is not, I would use the money to buy a computer and soft ware, per our agreement in THIS conversation

I was contacted via text, had a ‘job interview’ via Yahoo Messenger and was hired to do clerical billing, from home. They said they’d send me a check to buy a computer, and the software I needed for the job, odd but not impossible. I contacted the web page and was assured I had been hired. Then they said they also wanted to pay off all my credit card debt and they just needed ‘some information’ about my bank, and my credit card. Employers do not pay off credit card debt. They said they were sending a check, would be here in two days, of course in two days they said I misunderstood, etc. The entire conversation is on Yahoo Messenger. I did play along for a while to see exactly what they were up to, and the communication became more disjointed and confused. A lot of the conversation was obviously a script since he used the same comments more than one time, verbatim. There are 3 different web pages for the same company. One has a list of all the staff, including the person I contacted. The person with whom I was having the discussion was not listed as an employee, but the employee I contacted did say the job offer was valid and Id be talking to a J Johnson. I reported this to the government, have a case number, but the web pages are still up. I have no idea how many different scams they may be playing on people right now. They have email addresses but there is no reference to a phone number.
