Total money lost $335.95
Type of a scam Employment
i have been scammed by a scammer claiming to be the HR of the human resources of a real company called Response Biomedical . They called me and said they had got my resume and wanted to set up an interview for a biohazard tech position paying $17/hr but I would have to pay for my background check upfront which was $109 and they would reimburse me on the 2nd pay period and I would have to send it through money gram . I didn’t think it was a scam because they had the scam set up so high-tech they had a customer service line with an automated telephone system with touch tone dial options and extensions to different people phones and I had talked to several different people while talking to them so I didn’t think it was a scam until they told me to send it to an account number through money gram then had my two friends send it to actual people in PA an after we sent it no more answering from the "company" number all in all we lost $335.95 but now the case is on the FBI’s desk and was also aired all over my cities news to alert others on people targeting others looking for work .
