Employment Scam

I was contacted by text that I my resume was what they were looking for. Here is the text ..
Good evening. This is Stephia Patterson. Our recruitment team from (Optus Incorporation) viewed your resume published and we are pleased with your qualifications we believe you have the required qualifications to undergo an online interview. Reply with (YES I AM) If you are interested!
Note: This is work from home job, working hours are flexible and the position pay is $45 per hour. All working equipment software will be provided by the company. I believe working online from home won't be an issue for you?
THE POSITIONS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ARE Virtual assistant, Accounting Manager, Accounting, Administrative Assistant, Human Resources, Customer Service, IT, Front desk, Software Developer, Data Entry, Accounting Clerk AR/AP. Which among the listed positions do you think would best suit your experience?

I was already suspicious of the amount of pay and all the positions available, but I went along. I had to have the telegram app for communication. The grammar is the first thing that stood out. Now I am waiting for funds to be delivered, to purchase the equipment. I do realize it's a scam but thought I'd follow through til I receive the funds. At time when people are desperate for employment and want to work from home, these type of scammers are reprehensible!

Bitcoin scam

Same here. The person called Shea Bean contacted me through email and said I have been selected. Does anyone signed the Employee agreement like me? I have signed it but did not go any further processing. The agreement has my sign on it. Will that cause any harm? Please anyone has any suggestion on that?

Type of a scam Employment

I was contacted by Shea Bean via Indeed, who claimed they work in HR and are also the hiring manager for this company. Everything seemed normal at first, as we only corresponded through email. They sent me a privacy policy and an employment agreement to read and sign. After the 4th email I thought that it was odd they had automatically approved me for the available position without a thorough interview via phone call, zoom, etc. Then I started noticing minor but consistent errors in punctuation and grammar in the writing, things just felt strange. I went back to look for the original ad posting and found that it had been deleted. I looked through my recent applications and it showed that they were operating under a seperate company name, and had listed that my application was rejected. At this point I had a very strong feeling that I had been pulled into a scam. In the last email I received from Shea, they had said they created a Bitcoin wallet for me to utilize the company currency and assist customers with purchases. There was no product description for what I would be selling, only knowing that I would be dealing in Cryptocurrency. They wanted me to download a messaging app that would allow all conversation to be encrypted. Then, they sent a QR code attachment saying it was to be used to access the BTC in the wallet they'd created. I never opened the attachment, mainly because I thought it could be a virus or malware. All of this is very strange and not part of a standard hiring process.

Same thing is happening to me right now and I'm a bit suspicious. They are asking for my bank details to send me my salary and also mentioned that she will send me my personal bitcoin wallet after I do. May I ask what happened after for you? Did you go through with the 7 day trial period?

Contacted me on indeed.com from the *** ***** **** * *** *** page saying they had a customer service representative job available. They then wanted to hire me for a 7 day 'trial' period in which they would send me e transfer funds that I would turn into bitcoin to purchase things for their so called clients.
