******* *****

I'm curious, are you here in the US or in Germany?

I’m here in the US.

But the company is based of out Germany.

ME - What proof can I get that this is legit and not a scam? I read up on ScamPulse.com and it sounds similar.

It’s a real position *******. You can make your research online and get back to me

I'm very careful and need to confirm this is real. Most companies would send you what is needed directly to the house.

Yes, I understand. The reason why the Company is sending the funds for your Mini office equipment is due to the fact that the company does not specialize on the softwares and hardwares and we wants this to stand as a test of trust and also we want to know how good you can handle funds placed in your trust or care. I hope we have 100% assurance in you?

Offered me an interview via zoom, then only chatted instead of video feature. Seemed legit for a while, then they began asking for banking info. When I expressed feeling unsafe they pressured me and threatened to resend job offer contingent upon me revealing personal data. I voiced again I was concerned about my safety and chat was disconnected. Posing as the actual hiring manager Jen Hasche.

- Rex, GA, USA

The hiring ad was posted on indeed. First a person named Jennifer Masone texted me about the job. I was later put in contact with someone named John Gabrieli on google hangout. He walked me through the company and job descriptions. Then he sent a check of 4900 to my house and deposit into my account. I instead took it to a check cashing place and that’s where I found out the check was fraudulent.
