As a current job seeker, I have submitted my resume to hundreds of job postings on sites like LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Indeed, etc. for a remote data management position. Most do not respond at all, but in this case, I received a text message asking me to download Teams, add a Mr. Darvin Lopez, and prepare to be interviewed.

This seemed highly suspicious to me, but I wanted to see what would happen, so I went through the "interview" process, screenshotting everything. The interviewer sent me a link to the Lucem Health website (to reassure me that everything was legit), and told me that I would be meeting with his "superiors" just before my training begins, if he makes an offer. That was yesterday morning.

This morning, he congratulated me on my impressive responses and offered me a job as a Data Entry Analyst at $35/hr (to increase upon successful completion of training). Now I'm SURE this is a scam, but I keep going and he sends me an offer letter on Lucem "letterhead". As all this is going on, I'm not asked to provide anything that isn't on my resume, except which bank I use - to make sure it's compatible with theirs for direct deposits, of course. Then he tells me that he's authorized the Accounting Dept to email me a check to cover the cost of a long list of supplies: MacBook, laser printer/copier/scanner, shredder, some software, desk & chair...and a laminator with 5 cartridges (that one made me lol ??) According to the offer letter, Lucem will also be paying for my internet, future office supplies and even gas to run errands! I can also choose to work up to 5 hrs/wk OT, at my discretion, and Lucem will not terminate my employment without giving me 2 weeks' notice (y'all are incredibly generous!).

Anyway, I'm supposed to print, endorse and mobile-deposit this check, send him photos/screenshots to confirm I've followed instructions ('We must be able to trust our employees with these tasks. You understand?') and then he'll send me info to place an order with his proprietary vendor for the office equipment. Yeah, sure buddy.

I wanted to keep him on the line, so once I received the "check", I told him my printer was malfunctioning and that I'll notify him once I've accomplished the task. He's now waiting.

I received a text stating I was looking for work from home, data entry position. I was asked to download Microsoft Teams for the interview process. After a series of interview questions, I was offered the position. First day was to fill out typical new hire forms. All seemed legit to me so I proceeded filling out all the forms. Then I was asked to provide a credit card to purchase equipment and software, I advised I only have 1 card and that card does not have much on it. They paid off my card so that I can use it to purchase apple gift cards. Essentially I didn't lose any money, since they paid for the full balance and it was essentially the same amount amount spent on the gift cards.

I applied for a remote job with who I thought was White Construction. They sent me an acceptance letter stating I got the job then they proceeded to send me a W-4 to complete which had my social security number on it. I even had an interview via zoom on Dec 6th 2023 with a Teri Waganer. I spoke to her multiple times after my interview and she stated the company was creating my account which was why it was taking so long. This was on Dec 11th, 2023. That was the last time I heard from her.

He had a check Fed exed to me for $4655.00 to purchase office material. He told me to do a mobile deposit and send him a screenshot of the deposit.. Well, since I had set up a new account to deposit this money in, it wouldn't let me make a deposit that large in a new account so I told him it was over the allowed deposit amount for the day so he told me to go to the ATM and deposit it. I said ok but instead of the atm, I went inside the bank and ask them to verify the check. It was a fake check
