100% looks like a typical fraud phishing letter but is also is noted as being on behalf of Blue Cross and Blue Shield. However, right out the gate it is sent with "extreme urgency" and threatening methods of sending multiply times with a count down if you don't reply "immediately". Which makes no sense as letter following a standard very typical everyday type doctor visit.

I decided to succumb to the threatening letter to call but with a plan to not give out any vital personal info if they should ask. Sure enough, when you call the number they immediately want personal information (name/birth date/etc) from you. I just let them know that if they have access to the doctor visit and/or Blue Shield they should have all that information about the visit and there is nothing else I would add nor would I be giving out any of my personal information. He then says okay that he doesn't have anything else to ask me. Which makes the whole call and the "extreme urgent" letters seem like phishing scam to attempt to pull personal info verbally from me. I don't believe this company has a legit purpose for anything on behalf of Blue Shield Blue Cross.

I was contacted by a Mr. Daniel Gibson following an application I placed on the site Techcrunch for a job as a Data Entry Clerk for Equian LLC. I was contacted on 6/11/16 and asked to perform an interview through Google Hangouts, which was extremely unusual. I gave extremely basic in formation (did not give out social security numbers), and answered questions similar to a basic interview. I was informed the job was a "work from home" position and that the first thing that would happen would be to receive a check that would cover my initial equipment/products I would need, to be purchased through an unnamed "company vendor" only. Upon receiving the check, I called the company in question and was informed that there had been previous complaints about people using their business to scam others, and that if I were being offered a legitimate job they would not use Google Hangouts as a source of communication. I still have the check, as knowing what scams do I refuse to send the check back or attempt to cash/deposit it.

Upon further inspection, there were many other inconsistencies with their claim. The return address on the Fedex envelope I received the check in (as it was overnighted to me, received on 6/15/16) lists an address in Washington state. Said address on Google shows a parking lot of a community college. The information from the tracking number that Fedex gave also stated that the package was initially picked up in Miami, FL, from a business located in Indianapolis, IN (Equian LLC). The location listed for the check itself was for a construction company in Iowa.

On top of all of this, Mr. Daniel Gibson often spoke in a less than perfect English, with most of what he said feeling prewritten as part of the scam. The letter I received with the check also spoke in not fantastic English, but was from a Mr. Michael Rodgers, a man whose name was previously not mentioned in any conversation I had with Mr. Gibson.

As well as the incomplete English, some areas of the letter aren't consistent in terms of writing, with the "Rodgers" portion of Mr. Rodgers' name being written in a separate font. There is also no company letterhead or any appearance of professionalism in the letter, something that could have easily been written by anyone with access to Microsoft Word.
