Texted me that they saw my resume on a job site. Then asked me to have Microsoft Teams. It was odd that they wanted an immediate interview. I got dressed nice, and it turned out to be a text interview. I spent 2 hrs answering questions. They said I got the job. Then started asking me to purchase various software and that they would send me a check. They asked for my ID immediately. Then I said I have to call Blue Cross to be sure this wasn't a ficshing company. He stated they needed my dedication and trust x2. Then said he was Christian and didn't believe in scams. I asked what religion had to do with the workplace. Then he started typing less professionally. They took my address info and tried to screw me over!!!!!

They offered me a job for customer service paying $35 per hour. With two week training paying $15 per hour. They sent me a check to my email, which was supposed to pay for my work equipment and softwares. The check turned out to be a counterfeit check, and when I reached back out to them, they stopped replying.

I am out $1,000 because I fell for a too good to be true scam. First contacted by text from someone identifying as Juan Hernandez (972)694-4554 with Language Line Solutions. This number is a text only. He said download Skype for an interview and then changed it to Microsoft Team. A second person named Sal Jenkinson did an online “interview”, told me stand by, then I got the job. An offer letter received via email appeared legit. I signed that and mobile deposited 2 checks ($450 and $550) for materials and software license. Both have been returned but not before I forwarded the funds via Zelle pay to the “vendor” who texted me, Fatuma Hussein (731) 681-2623, also not a number you can reach anyone on. A third check arrived via Fed Ex from someone in Flagstaff, AZ for the laptop cost $2250. This is the same time I saw the first $450 was returned and then the red flag popped up. I called BofA as shown on the check. The fraud dept couldn’t verify the account number for privacy reasons but said this is a known scam. Unfortunately the scammers now have all my personal and bank information.

I received an email for a available Admin Assistant at Calyxia. I interviewed with Christophe W. and received a job offer as a Administrative Assistant with your company on 8/18/2022. (All communications were done via Telegram app). I was told by Christophe to deposit a check in the amount of $4,800.20 to purchase the equipment and software needed to perform the job. I’ve never known of an employer to request this, but I did. The check from Long Island Cares was put on hold by my bank due to additions review needed from BOFA. From that moment, I was being pressured to cover the costs of the check until it cleared via Cryptocurrency at first, in which my bank would not allow. Then, I was told to see if I could pull out cash from the ATM, and then a suggestion was made to send the funds via Zelle.

After all of that, I told Christophe, no I cannot do that or send $4800 to him. He then asked if I could buy a $200 Walmart gift card for software so that I could start training on Monday 8/22. Against my better judgment, I did. I was really excited for the job and to work with your company. After I sent Christophe the Walmart card info, about an hour later, he IM’d me to say that the card’s balance was zero $0. I checked the balance on my end and it said the balance was $7.68, with a purchase made of $195 and some change. Obviously it was used. I’m believing now this has been a scam. Maybe not on the company’s part, but on Christophe’s. He promised he would reimburse me but I’m sure that was a lie as well. I am planning on filing some complaints, so that this won’t happen to someone else. As of today, I received another email from Christophe for the same position which means he again, is on the prowl for the next victims. I’ve done extensive research and the company appears to be totally legitimate. I do t want this happening to someone else.
