I received the email with the zoom link on the day of the interview. I looked up the names of the HR representative ("*****) and hiring manager (****** *******") included in the email and could not find them on the company website or on the company's LinkedIn page. I also did not find any job openings related to anything I applied for on the company website. This company would be D2S Inc. which is a legitimate company, but as far as I know, it is not based in the state where I live. And finally, the email address was flagged with a question mark by Gmail, indicating that the email address could not be verified.
In light of all of these inconsistencies, I decided not to go through with the interview. I also received a text to confirm the interview 2 minutes before it was scheduled. Just to be clear, I never attended the interview and only talked to this person a few times through text messages. Regardless, I am almost positive that this was a scam. I applied for several jobs on Indeed in the months leading up to this, so assume that this is how this person got my email and phone number. I am just relaying this information and reminding everyone to always verify the identity of the person interviewing you, particularly for remote interviews.

I added mary thomas to my zoom thinking we would have a video chat. This was not the case. It was text only asking me to answer questions. Then told me I needed to buy equipment and they would reimburse me. I asked a lot of other questions that were dismissed and was told I have a limited to time let them know if I would like to move forward...
Looked at this BBB.org site and saw similar patterns.

I applied and was emailed and offered an interview. The interview was conducted via Skype messaging only, leading to me being offered the job that day. I was then emailed a contract and w-4 form to which I completed, signed and returned, with a copy of my drivers license front/back pictured. The scammer then had access to my social security number, knows my address, etc. The contract was very thorough and explained how I would be sent working materials/equipment/software/etc. I was told I would be in contact with a supervisor. The dates of me being sent equipment or getting to interact with the supervisor continued to be pushed back multiple times.
The Skype messaging continued and the ‘hiring manager’ instructed me how to use multiple electronic checks to deposit to my bank and then send money to ‘vendors’ via Apple Pay and Zelle. This continued for 2 weeks. I was told the money sent was being used to purchase software and equipment for my home office.
Once a check bounced and the amount was withdrawn from my account, the ‘hiring manager’ stopped talking with me via Skype.
I have taken all information, emails, Skype messages, and contract/W4 to the police and filed a fraud report. The police instructed me to contact IRS, BBB, Linkedin and LSB Industries.

I don't believe this business is active anymore and the entire interview process left me with a bad taste in my mouth which only got worse once I found the company online.
The pay, benefits, and job duties are all very attractive and I feel could easily trap other people into believing it and giving these scammers access to their personal information if they believe they have secured a job with this "company"
Thank you for your time and consideration. I also have screenshots of the emails if those would be beneficial.

They offered me a position as Customer Service Officer, had someone from their "Human Resources" department interview me, gave me access to their online portal to upload all the usual documentation, CDL, I9 Information which has my social security number information, etc.
When I researched the company on Linked In, there was nothing to be found, I called their 888 number and no-one answers. Then I researched their address and they are not listed on the building directory. They say that they are "Sales Force Registered Consulting Partner"
Once I asked them about not being on linked in, and my other concerns they blocked me from logging into their website. Now, they've got all my personal info!!! Please don't make the same mistake that I did!!!
They even have a "company handbook" that I've uploaded for you!
Obviously I am concerned about credit fraud, so I put a freeze on my accounts with the three credit bureau's. What else can I do to make sure #1) I am protected #2) no-one else falls victim to this company? This is why I am reporting the BBB.

I sent my resume and did the online interview and later received an offer letter stating, “ Biotech Group Inc is pleased to offer you the position of a Data Entry Clerk although there seems to be a situation. The Companys' approved vendor is running a skeletal workforce and would be unable to make shipment of the required office equipment to you at this time. We sourced for a new vendor whose payment methods are limited to Apple Pay, Zelle and Venmo, which are currently not available to the Company.
If the aforementioned payment methods are readily available to you, Biotech Group will be happy to send you a check. You are to use the funds from this check to complete the payment to the new vendor. Kindly advise if the aforementioned payment methods are available to you and that the Company can rely on your full trust, commitment and diligence in carrying out this task.” I later learned that they send you a check and it’ll bounce.
Don’t wast your time or get your hopes up with these people. I googled the number and found out they have also pretended to be other companies.
