I was contacted by a man named Khalid Carter who claimed to be HR for WNS Global Services. He had received my resume on Indeed.com apparently when allowing indeed to submit your resume to other employers it sends your info to scammers as well. Somehow my resume also ended up on Careerbuilder which is where this guy claims to have received my resume. He started texting me from the 800 # listed above then proceeded to let me know that I would have to download Google Hangouts to continue the interview process. Once I downloaded Hangouts Khalid then proceeded to tell me more about this Data Entry work from home position. He then told me to check my email where it was more information about the company which actually has a website online. Then had some interview questions that I needed to respond to within 40mins. At the end of this email it asked me to confirm my info. Name, address, phone number and zip code. He then told me that he would forward the email to the hiring supervisor and get back with me within 30 mins to let me know the results. He got back with me Congratulating me about getting the position then proceeded to let me know that I would be paid $15 an hr for training then $23.99 thereafter. Khalid then proceeded to ask me what bank I bank with then asked me for my banking info (checking, routing #). I didn’t give him that info. He told me they needed this information to send me my startup check to purchase the software needed to get the job done. I told him that giving that information was strictly prohibited. I then asked him about a hiring package. He told me that I would receive that package in the mail and I would be required to put this information on that form as well. I’m not giving these people anymore of my info. Shut them down. I don’t feel comfortable looking for jobs on any site but the companies personal website. I don’t trust it. Never have never will & now you see why.

I got a message about working from home for a company, the entire conversation was through Google Hangouts. I have a copy of the entire conversation. After the "interview process online" I was hired and was informed they would send me a New Apple Laptop along with a PDF check in the amount of $1358. I was to print this check, cut it down and sign it before new hire paperwork. I was then allowed to keep $200 for sign on bonus and $100 for the week of training. I was then supposed to put the rest of the money in my account in order to purchase the software that I needed for the Data entry position for the company. Delene Weiler ( online hiring manager ) then asked me if I would be willing to do all of this as long as I gave her my bank information. I informed her that it sounded like a scam for my personal information and I was not willing to do this and if any of my information was given out I will sue the company. When I went to message her back about contact information I was blocked and could not contact her/him. Please investigate this information and remove the company before people actually do lose their personal information. I will attach the entire conversation so you can see.
Everything in red is from Delene Weiler.
