This company is targeting job seekers on sites such as indeed.com they are conducting phone interviews and then “hiring” the victim. They then will tell you they are sending you a check for “office supplies”. The check is fraudulent and if you cash it you will be responsible to pay the bank back the money. If you catch on to the scam and question the company they will insist that they need you to cash the check immediately so they can create a wallet. They will also tell you that in order to work for them you must set up direct deposit. They will be more angered if you continue to ask questions and will threaten to fire you.

I did receive a cashier’s check via UPS. I called the issuing bank and four different people verified the this check was not issued and is fake.
I suspected this, but I went through the motions just to verify. I have the ups tracking number but not sure if any federal agency can use it to catch them.

My sister Received call from Edwin-Walton staring he got her resume through indeed. He states company is opening an office in Orlando Florida and needs an office mgr. they scheduled a phone interview for 5 days later. Interview went well and he says it was between my sister and 1 other person. She received an email the next day stating She got the job and need to start sept 30. I checked the company website and for an IT company it’s lacking. I then tried calling the phone number listed on their site and received a voicemail box is full message. I googled and checked LinkedIn and nothing about this company. Seems weird especially for an IT company.
