Type of a scam Employment
I received an email from "Justin",as a HR Director, stating my resume was shortlisted from Indeed.com for position of Executive Assistant. "Justin" introduced the company as Digitus Systems. It was an IT Consulting Firm that was expanding to a city in Florida, that I live close by. He gave a whole list of Job Duties, which sounded very legit for that type of position.He asked for a phone interview for Monday or Tuesday, (February 11, 2019 or February 12, 2019). He stated to email my cell phone number for the phone interview if I was interested, which I did. He called on Wednesday February 13. He text me and apologized, and asked if I was still willing to do the phone interview with him. He was polite,(had a Canadian thick accent, or so I thought). He went over the biweekly amt of $2500 and $65,000 year salary, including Medical, Dental and Vision, 3 week vacation paid in increments, and bonuses paid annually, and the days and hours of business operation. I was thinking OK, so it's a company that's expanding into new territory, and they are not sparing any expense. He then started with the interview and asked all the right questions about Microsoft Office, my skills and previous jobs I've held. Asked several other questions about whether I could handle 8 executives and an EO. Asked about what I would do in certain scenarios. He proceeded to tell me that he had a couple of other phone interviews, and would make a decision by the next day, and if he chose me as the best candidate, he would email me the job confirmation. As usual I sent a Thank you email thanking him for his time, along with why I would be the best candidate. I went to the website that he provided to check it out. Everything was setup "right" about how a business website would be set up.It had no typos, or misspelled words, it looked legitimate. Lo and behold, he private messages me the next day for me to check my email box for the job confirmation, and to review the contract for employment. I went to my inbox, he had sent the email confirming the job position and offering me the job position in which we had discussed. In the email, he congratulated me, and asked for me to email my job confirmation on the position. Which I did. He stated he would reach out and touch base, and go over what he was planning. He called a couple days later, again congratulating me. He stated the office would be open by March 4th. He proceeded to tell me, that because of setting up the office that they wanted me to start a week earlier on February 25, start my training early, and would start my salary on February 25th. He went over the business hours again. He asked if I was comfortable handling the office keys while we were setting up the office, on February 25th. I said I was. He stated he would need to UPS a Cashier's Check to pay for the office supplies, and so I would be able to have access to the funds to order the supplies, and we would have a teleconference with the supplier later in the week. He told me the day he was sending it out,and when I should receive it by. He emailed me the tracking number, which I did track. It was correct, and so was the time he stated it would arrive. Only thing was that was off was that it was an hour difference, due to the time zone. Well dumb me, I'm still not catching on. I figured since it was a Corporation that he would send the instructions on where, and what Bank that they were affiliated with, to deposit the check in. He text me again that morning to wait for the package, and contact him when I received it. Which again I did. When I opened the package it seemed to "thin" for employment papers and a check. He had sent a Cashier's check for a legitimate bank with the correct address, but it was out of Texas, and not a Bank from Canada affiliated with the US. He called me and told me to deposit the check in my own personal bank account. I stated, I do not have a bank account. This man did not skip a beat. He then proceeded to tell me to go open an account in my name at any bank of my choosing. So, I went online to look for a bank. He didn't even give me time to even get to a Bank, when he text me again, stating to let him know when I was done at the Bank. I told him I would, and that I was looking up Banks. He replied, "OK", and that was the last I heard from him. I had decided instead to go see a Bank Manager that I know. He told me it was a fake check. I asked him if he could verify for me to see if it was, and he called the bank it was issued from. They verified that it was fraudulent.
I seriously do not want anyone to fall for this scam. He was good. I don't believe to many people would of caught on to him asking them to deposit the check in their personal account. I know not to mix business, with personal.
