Fake Home Hardware Job Listing

The owner of this cell number is at it again. They are impersonating Home Hardware. I received an SMS from this number directing me to a very detailed, fake home hardware job listing, where I answered some screening questions online. The domain name of the listing was not that of Home Hardware, but one they tried to match. I then received an offer of employment and an employee handbook the next day, from another misleading domain. They asked for government ID, proof of address, and cheque payment information. They told me there would be training and a home setup would be installed for me. My suspicions were aroused when I visited the actual Home Hardware's official career site, and realized the one I had visited was fake. It was a slightly different internet domain name, and the job listing I had interviewed for did not even exist. I looked up the cellphone number and, sure enough, I found a complaint for an identical scam performed under a different company name. Be careful during your search, people's desperation is being taken advantage of.
