Type of a scam Employment

The job position was for Virtual Assistant, published at Washington Post. I received an email from dana, later on scheduled for an imessage Hangout interview with Christopher Hutman. The interview took 40 minutes long, with basic questions about my job experience, and all the descriptions of the company was a copy/paste from the real website from India. Within 10 minutes I was hired to work with them (which is weird since in the US they have a much longer process before hiring someone), and instructed that I would receive a check or direct deposit to buy all equipment (and he sent me the list) that was needed, I also needed to provide passport, and documents. I received an email from (Mrs. Emily M. Coleman) with a PDF and a contract (very basic and simple words) which made me suspicious. The salary was 30/hr and 18/hr while training. The salary is too high for a basic interview with no background check, no person to person virtual chat, on any further documentation.

I applied for a position at this company and they got back to me asking to set up an online interview through Google Hangout which was fitting for the position that I was being considered for. I ended up having the interview that same day. I know that this company’s main headquarters bases out of India, so the broken English throughout the interview hadn’t concerned me much. I was offered the position the next morning and the job itself just seemed too good to be true (mainly the pay). Since this was an online position (working from home), I was already cautious about giving my information out. I was doing some more research on the company itself and the basics were a little scattered. So I decided to ask them a few clarifying questions before I officially accepted their offer. I just asked them basic things and then proceeded to ask how I could verify the legitimacy of the company with questions regarding if they were approved by the ScamPulse.com and they did, in fact, say yes, that they were approved by the BBB. In that case, I asked them if they would be able to back up that claim with some documentation since I hadn’t seen them on the BBB website. They didn’t exactly give me a clear answer to the question and definitely didn’t provide any proof. I ended up declining the position in fear that this company was not legit. I would also like to mention that their website, unlike many other healthcare service companies, did not include very much information and it was not secured either. The reviews for the employees that had worked at the company had said that they like to target younger workers in order to give opportunities to those looking into the workforce, which I can appreciate, but it also raised a red flag in my mind.

I applied to this position through the Washington Post. Work from home with a new office opening soon in DC to work in or continue to work at home. I was contacted with an AOL email to set up a Google Hangouts interview. I scheduled the interview and followed instructions. I was told within 10 minutes of the end of the interview conducted over instant messenger that I was hired. I was then asked to send my name and address and phone numbers to an email address. I did so. I then looked farther into it and saw that the company was asking me to purchase supplies with a check they would send me, including some equipment that no longer is manufactured. After several pieces were not adding up, I typed in the website associated with the email address I was to send my information to. It came up as an address that didn’t exist instead of redirecting me to the actual company site. I am humiliated and heartbroken and furious at this and saw more such scams popping up when I researched more.
