They are a company based in Paris but with offices all over the world. They texted me that I had posted my resume on CareerBuilder and that I was qualified for their Data Entry/Admin Assistant position. This position provided an excellent benefits package and $30/hr with 40 hour weeks, flexible schedule, PTO, and paid holidays. This all seemed too good to be true, but I hoped it was legit. They requested that I respond to the text with 'yes I am interested' which I did and they proceeded to set up an interview over Google Hangouts. I went through their interview process. First, this did not raise many red flags as they did not ask for any information that was not already provided on basic resumes. They told me to contact them promptly at 8:30am the next morning to get an update and so I did. They informed me then that I got the job, but they immediately emailed me a check and told me to mobile deposit it to purchase my home office equipment as this was a data entry from home job.
When I told them it would take me a few hours to get to a printer, they became pushy and told me to immediately go to a library to print it off and deposit it. I told them I was at my current job and could not leave and so they told be I could wait until I got off of work. The fact that they wanted me to immediately print off and mobile deposit the check without putting me through any HR on boarding procedures threw up some red flags. As my step-mother works for Wells Fargo bank, I sent the correspondence to her and sent her a picture of the emailed check and upon her reviewing the check, it appears as though the address given does not match with any company address.
This is when I cut off communications with the individuals. I did not deposit the check and my step-mother suspects that they would attempt to launder the money through me by asking for the money back immediately though the check would most likely bounce in a few days.
