Type of a scam Identity Theft
Applied for a job with the company I thought was Xeo marketing (a genuine company) was offered a work from home post of data entry. Was emailed a contract to sign and send back with a copy of id and direct deposit form. After sending was given a log in to a communication site to keep in contact and to begin work. Was told I would need to purchase new office equipment ie. laptop etc. And that they would send a cheque for me to purchase this equipment, when I questioned to cheque and requested the company order the equipment and send it to me I was shut out of the site and could not get in touch with anyone as everything seemed to be gone. I contacted to company by phone and could not get anyone, tried another number for the company found online and this one turned out to be the actual xeo marketing and I was informed that someone was pretending to be them with a website identical to theirs and was offering jobs to people to get their ID and access to their bank account.
