Type of a scam Employment
Hanna said that I qualified for the job. And that I should contact them the following morning at 8:00 for on-boarding. They sent me all the usual documents – offer letter, W-4, I-9 and a company code of conduct. They said that I would get paid for all this pre-work time. They still were iffy on an actual start date. I was eventually told the start date would be 9/22/24.
I was told on Friday morning that they were sending a courier with a check for the office equipment, so we continued with the on-boarding process. Then I was told the courier was not available and that they would email the check and that I should print it on a color printer and deposit it via mobile deposit. The check is drawn on Chase bank. I had not previously used mobile deposit. Then they told me I was required to check in with them on Saturday morning. They used the word “required” a lot. When a new employer says you are required to do something, you comply.
Then on Saturday, I thought I was to start the purchase process so the equipment would arrive for my 9/22 start date. Instead they had me install CashApp on my phone and convert some of the funds to bitcoin. Red flags went off and I am having no more contact with them. I found a report by the Better Business Bureau that dang near exactly describes what I got caught up in.
During all of this I had issues with trying to get answers. I thought it was because I was dealing with people in Europe until the Tacoma office opened and I could deal with US based persons.
