Received an email to schedule an interview. Had the interview, it was a chat interview and I could tell the interview was done by AI. I called the company and they confirmed it was a scam.

Email to my college email posing as the college and using a professor's name at the college. They claimed to be looking for for a research assistant for the English department and would pay 300+ a week for 7 hours a week and were posting the job to all students. They had me contact via text message and asked for 2 emails, address and resume. After they "accepted" me, they began vaguely messaging about money transfers for the "HR" department. After that, I realized it was a scam.

The scammers asked basic “interview” questions. Than asked if I could provide a clear copy of my photo ID front and back, along with a picture of myself, full name, phone number, address, email so they could do a background check and enter it into their database. Processing on throw the interview, the man stated he had to talk to his headquarters person in HR. After 10 minutes he sent a message stating I got the job. Told me my job duties, my equipment would be sent to me, HR would provide all documents I needed for the remainder process of the hiring stage. After that the man stated the vendor needed my Facebook username and password to put a time tracker on the computer they were giving me to monitor when I start work and stop work. I stated I would not provide that information because social media doesn’t determine employee work hours and there should be other ways to have a time system set up for tracking employee hours. The man stated I was to report back on the app tomorrow at 8am. I stated that I didn’t want the “job” anymore. Than he no longer replied.

I received an email response from what appeared to be a legitime email about an interview process. They conducted a thorough interview via Google Chat. The impersonated hiring agent under the name Jaclyn Nix - [email protected]. Once "hired" they asked for me to direct deposit a check into my banking account from Thomas Shanahan - [email protected] and to return a confirmation of the deposited check. After inspection from the pdf of the fake check, searching the routing number searched was fake and no bank logo was included. The address was linked back to the Florida headquarters of the actual company. A quick research shows the names of the individuals being impersonated are actual employees on the domain website. I declined depositing the check and was then blocked by the addresses. The email correspondences are below:
