First contacted by email and text stating that they found my profile on a job posting site for virtual jobs named virtualassistantjobs.com which I have frequented in the past and I needed to make contact with a person named Brian Stickell. Then requested to have a "text chat" interview utilizing Google Hangouts to discuss the position qualifications and the opportunity at hand. After an extremely lengthy two (2) hour plus interview using Hangouts (were I was able to review the company site at www.almanagroup.com and was sent a Driver's License from Brian Stickell for affirmation), I was offered the position after successfully passing something called a "Consideration Stand" after the interview. After passing this and receiving the "job", I was to review the offer that was sent via email by a Mr. David Brown and send back acceptance. I did so and proceeded to receive further instruction from Mr. Stickell. The instruction was to receive a startup check from the Accounting Officer that would be used to purchase startup equipment to perform the work and the company software. This person and no others mentioned from the company had company based emails, when I asked Mr. Stickell about this he stated that in the past other employees that they were hiring on complained that the company emails would come back as undeliverables, that's why all of the employees that are mentioned in this situation have Gmail addresses only. The startup check was for $1,250.00. I was to receive it and mobile deposit it to my bank to have it in my bank as soon as possible so that I can begin work quickly to receive payment. Unfortunately, I did so after my wife and I checked to make sure the check was from a legitimate bank. Also, even more unfortunately, I provided home address details when asked due to me still thinking this was a legit opportunity. When the deposit was done, the proof was shown to them then the next day, which is today 6/1/18 I was asked to make the transaction to the person for the equipment. Upon trying to do this in the amount of $1,200.00, the Money Center rep at Walmart (Mr. Stickell asked me to perform a Walmart 2 Walmart transaction) explained that she would not do it as I did not personally know the person and that she believed it was a scam as she has seen something similar before there. After speaking with her, I immediately called my bank to explain the situation so that a fraud alert could be put on the account. As I write this (6/1/18|11:00 am CST), the person Mr. Stickell is now trying to get me to send the money back via online which I have not done.
