Type of a scam Identity Theft

Barbara Nelson from Startek

I was told to text "interested" to 9087272919. It took a few days for a response, but once she responded we went through the steps for the interview process. She even told me Good luck. Reassured me. Made me feel lucky. I was going to connect with Barbara Nelson through a Teams link. The link didn't work so she sent me [email protected]. to connect with her. I went through what I thought was a very thorough interview process. Once the questions were completed, Nelson said she had to send the information to the Dept Head for evaluation and scoring. It took 2 hours to receive an above average score of 75. Then they sent me a welcome text asking for my information- that's when I froze and started researching online again. I didn't scroll down the list the first time. However it was on my resume anyway. I did not provide a picture. I have lifelock so hopefully it'll work against these sick people.

I texted the number that started all of this and her response was I don't understand so I sent her and Nelson a screenshot of the message in here. Nelson further lied and said someone was impersonating the company and I can proceed when I'm comfortable. I blocked her.

These people previously scammed and hacked a friend of mine. They took over her Facebook account and posted a job as her. When I checked with “her” about the job, it was the scammers I was talking to. I set up a Microsoft Teams account to interview with “Barbara Nelson of Startek.” She spent 5 hours “hiring” and interviewing me for Startek as a data entry position. She sent a company briefing with logos and responsibilities of the job. She asked detailed interview questions. Once I was “hired,” she sent a very professional and authentic-looking contract. Through this, they gained my name, email, phone number, address, and a picture of my driver’s license. Once they “hired” me, she told me I needed to purchase the equipment for my job. However, first they send you the account information of their business account to pay off any debt you have on your credit card (explained as a perk of the job). Once I scheduled this payment to go out with their information, it red flagged my credit card company. Luckily, they were cognizant of this scam and put a restriction on my card.

I received a text asking me if I want to interview with a company called Startek. I said I wasn’t interested. They told me I would be making $35 an hour from home. I had a feeling it was a scam. I played along. They asked me a few questions via zoom messaging. Then told me I was hired and they would fedex me a check for materials. They also said they would be sending me a laptop. I played along and a check arrived from a BNY Mellon bank in the amount of $3800. The shipping address was from Johnson Gas Appliance company out of Iowa and the address was to a storage unit.
