Mr. Felix Davidson. SCAM.
The person who posted this above had the exact same experience I had with this phone number.

I've been looking for work at home jobs because I had a head injury and have epilepsy now so I have to work from home, and this person seemed legitimate throughout the whole entire interview process. How true the program Wire.
They hired me even sent me a $3800 check to buy office supplies but I fortunately didn't give them any social security numbers or bank numbers.

After noticing that the person always refused to personally talk to me over the phone, I got suspicious.
Another thing that threw me off was the fact that the grammar he used when he was texting me and messaging me just seemed a little "Middle Eastern" and not like a professional hiring agent in US by the name of "Felix Davidson" would possess. Below is the initial conversation: Stay away from anything relating to this company this phone number or these people.

"I am Mrs. Katerina Laura, I'm from the Human Resources Department at Paxiom Group, I am pleased to inform you that your resume posted has been reviewed and forwarded to the Management Team of Paxiom Group, (Paxiom Group, Management Team) for an interview if you are available and willing to undergo this interview…?"

"Paxiom Group is located at
2037 E Maule Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89119."

"This is a work-from-home opportunity, and no travel is required. Over the past 3 years, we've recognized the benefits of working from home. We currently have more than 50 home-based employees performing a wide range of functions. We’re actively seeking high-quality individuals for work-at-home opportunities."

Scammer's phone (224) 442-4402
Scammer's address 299 Jefferson Road, Parsippany, NJ 07054, USA
Victim Location NV 89048, USA
Type of a scam Employment

Received cold text from "Mrs. Tanya Worley" using my full name. "Your profile has been reviewed and submitted to Evonik Corporation" for an interview." Scammer asked me to download, install, and create an account on "Wire Secure Messenger" app for the text interview. Interviewer went by "Mr. Richard Guest" who claimed to be the "interview manager" for Evonik Corporation. Asked for my name and location. Gave a bunch of company information, which was copied and pasted from the real company's website. Asked me legitimate interview questions, told me to check back the next morning for feedback. When I checked the next morning, he told me I got the job and sent a bunch more corporate information describing hiring practices, onboarding procedures, training schedules. Asked me for the name of my bank to "find out if it is compatible with our banking system." (So far, I was wary but, after researching the messenging app, the company, and the practice of text interviewing, which apparently some companies do now, I continued.) Then he started asking for additional personal information such as name (again), address, phone number (again) so his "secretary" couuld "secure them in the confidential employee file database to obtain proper documentation." That's when I looked up the company's headquarters phone number and called them to ask HR if this was a legitimate offer. "No, it's not," was their immediate answer. They don't interview by text, they said. I went back to the messaging app and asked "Mr. Guest" to verify some details before I provided any personal information. I asked for his phone extension and five minutes of his time on the phone to confirm the offer, after which I'd be happy to proceed with the orientation and information gathering. He immediately changed tone and ducked the question several times, giving more and more ridiculous answers when I pressed him for even just a quick phone call. I didn't lose any money (we didn't get that far into the scam), but I did give them the name of my bank and my state of residence. I hope they can't do anything with those couple of details, but I sure will be calling my bank and asking for advice on changing account numbers or anything else as a preventative measure.
