That same scammer sent me a text

I I recognized it was a scam immediately and blocked them. For some reason when they say the word kindly it always is a red flag for me. LOL

Type of a scam Employment

I was contacted early in the afternoon on 7/26 via text from 407-440-1523. They claimed to be a Taylor Washington who had found my resume on Indeed.com and was offering a position as a Data Entry Specialist at $25/hr. I spoke with them briefly before they transferred me to a Michelle Wallace, the hiring manager, at 302-527-7018 via a messaging app named Signal. I had signal installed, so I contacted the number and they had me go through a set of interview questions. They provided a basic copy and paste routine of what the job responsibilities were and listed the address provided. I followed through the interview questions where they didn't ask direct personal information, besides if I had a bank account or not, and they said I should contact them the next day at 8 AM my time.

Suspicious, I looked up the website they provided and checked out the careers section to confirm if they had an open listing for a Data Entry specialist. The company had no listing open and had a disclaimer there stating that they would not approach with unsoclitied job offers. The address they also provided in the text led to an interior decorating store, not the actual business address. They also copied and pasted the company about page when describing themselves.

I believe that they were looking to extract money from myself, which is why they had asked the question of 'do you have a bank account' to me. I blocked them after I realized what was going on, so I'm not sure how the rest of the scam would follow through. They did not provide any email addresses or company information, nor any follow up emails regarding the interview or even a set time. They simply went straight into an interview and it was only through signal.

I was also contacted via text on August 3, 2022, by Taylor Washington from 434-216-8151 at 9:42 AM. They claimed that my resume was reviewed on Indeed by IncludeHealth and was offering a position for Remote Data Entry Analyst at $25/hr. I spoke with them for a little until they asked if I have the signal private app. I downloaded the app and was transferred to speak to Michelle Wallace on the app. It was a copy and paste of job duties and provided the IncludeHealth website if I wanted to review more information. I followed through with the interview questions and they didn't ask me for personal information. The "interview" was over and they said to contact them at 8 AM the next day.

I looked up the website and IncludeHealth social media where on Twitter, IncludeHealth said to not respond to any text messages or emails pertaining to someone reaching out to them for positions or conducting interviews through email or an app.

They also said they were sending a check out to me for the company's equipment since I can only use their equipment even though I have my own office set up at home. They also listed what equipment will be sent out to me. That's when they started asking what bank I bank with, my address, full name, and email address.

They then sent me an offer letter to sign. That is when I blocked them because they can steal my signature.

It was a very long conversation back and forth and I was also contemplating if this was actually a scam since we were on the app talking back and forth for a while and actually thought it was a real interview. They explained step by step when they were mailing out a check and a tracking number and depositing it to my bank account. They said they will help me send that check money to the vendor that will be supplying the equipment.

They then said that a representative(my supervisor) from the company will either be meeting with me in person or meeting over Zoom/Skype due to the pandemic and they will go over more details about the training with me.

I then got scared when they sent the offer letter which doesn't look professional to me and blocked her. Everything was done through the signal app without speaking to this person or seeing them. I will attach the offer letter below.
