Type of a scam Employment
The job was for data entry from home and with flexible hours; part-time and full-time available; $20/hour
After messaging the Facebook user that posted this job offer, I was told I needed to then talk to the Interview Manager thru an app I'd have to download from the playstore: Viber.
I was given an interview thru text with several questions and a few questions that were alarming but seemed harmless since the personal information being asked for wasn't specific enough to do harm I know about, so I reasoned with myself that the information was being gathered for some possibly good reason.
And they weren't asking for account numbers yet. But they did ask alarming questions like:
Do I have a credit card thru my financial institution?
What is the name of my financial institution?
What is the name of my cell phone carrier?
Is my phone plan postpaid/prepaid?
Every time I would ask for information about the company, my question was evaded and more questions were asked of me. I was interviewing for a job I was now being told was $25.50/hr, so I let myself get redirected a couple times.
After taking an hour and a half of my morning thru the very slow process of having a text-interview over my phone, the interviewer started acting weird. Excited.
She told me I sounded perfect but needed to send our conversation to the heads of the department to decide if I was worthy of the job and she needed me to be online with her while we wait. It took 10-15 minutes. I'm worried they tried phishing thru my phone too or giving me some kind of virus, I'm not technically gifted but I know my phone has acted strange since that day. I was unable to install the premium version of Malwarebytes Free and my system sound is turned up although I have the volume silent.
Back to the employment scam, she came back and said I had "scored 94%" and was hired and told me all these great qualities I have (buttering me up for the big pitch)
She started informing me that they would send me a free HP laptop computer and my W-4 and all my working supplies. Now she needed my full name, address, phone number, and email.
I was wary because I still didn't know anything about who this company was besides the name. So I decided to ask if they had a website. They did, and I was momentarily relieved when I went to it. premiumalpha1.com . So I gave my full name and address.
Then she told me that the company would be putting the funds for the equipment into my account and then I knew it was a scam all along.
I looked harder at their website. It is nothing but redirects to other websites-- they offer no products or even information. The domain name was recently created and the website also has no company information on it.
I asked her two questions:
Is the company planning on sending me a company credit card to purchase the computer or are they wanting to put money in my account?
Where are you located?
The answers: they wanted to put money in my account and the vague: "We're in the USA"
I stopped the conversation, took screenshots and deleted the Viber app, and now I'm trying to get the word out about this scam.
