***After this they want you to fax or email your drivers license, SSN, etc...
You have until the end of the next business day.

Him: Good morning and how was your night ?
Me: Good Morning.
Me: Does your company have a phone number? I can't seem to find it.
I received the letter from HR...
Him: Yes we do and when will you sign and email or fax back the offer letter
It says by the end of the 13th (today). I will have it signed and returned per requested by the end of the day. What is the Group Pharmaceuticals Phone number? HR, Corporate, Yours?
Are you there?
*After about 5 minutes...
Him: 2134634985
That's the HR number.
Me: That is an old phone number for Los Angeles Times. WTF?
Him: Please mind your language ( WTF) that's the HR number.
Me: Apologies, WTF stands for, "Wow That's Freaky!" in Missouri.

*I call the number...after several rings a nigirian man answers..."Hello...hello...hello this is Mr. Goodman how can I help you?"
The whole time I am still texting Mr. Christopher through google hangouts but he is not texting back.

Me: Are you there? What next?
Me: Hello?
Me: Mr. Christopher?

So in my phone covo with Mr. Goodman I ask to speak to Ms. Fox. He tells me that he is HR and that Ms. Fox is out of the office today and tomorrow. I tell him that I will call back in 3 days. He then tells me that she will return Monday and call me then.
I ask him about the Los Angeles phone number. He tells me that because of COVID19 it is a temporary office. I tell him that I was told the temp office is in NY. He tells me that because of COVID the temp office in NY will not open until 2021. I tell him that it all sounds shady and he laughs outloud and asks again how he can help me and asks for my name. I tell him I'll call back Monday to speak Ms. Fox and hang up.

Meanwhile on google hangouts:

Me: You didn't mention that the HR department was run by Nigerians in Los Angeles.
Him: Huh ?
Me: You know that you give Nigerians a bad rap and Mind your professionalism (Huh?)
Him: What are you talking about (my name)?
Me: That number you gave me is Bogus, Your name is bogus, Kari Fox is bogus, Mr. Goodman is bogus. There is no Group Pharma at the address you gave me. You lied about a temp office in NY.
You didn't mention temp office in California.
Him: Bogus? I was informed Kari won't available until Monday and she will give you call if that will be fine with you.
Because i don't know what you are talking about.
Me: I've been on with you now for 45 minutes, what are we doing here? Why did you need me to check in at 9am? To ask if I signed the paperwork? Is that all?
Him: You started asking me questions and we haven't started today's update.
Me: That was you on the phone man.

At that point he blocked me.

Same interview process as described by victim 07086. The interviewers name was Mr. Higgins Christopher [email protected]. The HR staff that I am to send all of my information to is Ms. Fox. The office is located in India w/ a temp hub in NY (no address for NY hub provided). I have not yet given my information.

- Weehawken, NJ, USA

1. I applied to a job posting on Indeed.com for a remote Data Entry Clerk that paid $25/hr. 2. I was invited to interview by "Michael Bronowicki" via email @ [email protected]. The interview was to be conducted via Google Hangout with "Mr. Christopher Workman" ([email protected]) on 8/6 at 9am. 3. I interveiwed for the position, answering basic qualitative and "fit" questions. 4. I recieved a job offer in my email inbox from [email protected]. I signed and returned the job offer with my ** driver's license attached. They have all of the information about me from my license, as well my cell phone number and email address. I was to report to "Chrisopher" on Google Hangout the following morning at 9am. 5. "Christopher" informed me I will be receiving a check delivered by FedEx to my address to purchase office equipment from their vendors. 6. I asked "Christopher" to verify this was not a scam since there was no evidence that any of the individuals actually existed. (checked LinkedIn profiles, etc.). I asked for a signed memo with company letterheading from the hiring manager. He replied saying he will get it to me next week. At this point, I knew I was being scammed and am now reporting to the FTC and BBB.
