I recently applied for a job position off Zip Recruiter. The position was for an Administrative Assistant Position at $35.00 per hour. at PSA Healthcare. I contacted PSA Healthcare out of Colorado Springs Colorado and they stated that they did not have any postings and it was incorrect. I then received an email from Kevin at Zip recruiter advising me that a was selected to contact Mr. Charles Washington after I downloaded Google Hangouts to my phone. I set up the Hangouts app and contacted Mr. Washington at [email protected] I was contacted on Wed April 05,2017 by Mr. Washington at 11:08 am MST. He stated he was one of the hiring managers for CAE Healthcare not PSA. I questioned that and asked if the company was affiliated with the ScamPulse.com and he stated "Yes". He continued to place an interview over texting through Hangout app. I asked him all appropriate questions and he have contacted me at 8:00 since Wed. He stated he would send a check to purchase office equipment from their vendor until an Office was opened up in Pueblo Colorado on April 30,2017. My duties were to include accounting entry, payroll & managing employees, scheduling appointments, purchase orders, and invoicing, I would be utilizing programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and using company computer database.

He offered the position and stated a check would mailed out via FED- EX on Thursday, April 06, 2017 and would contact me on April 07,2017 to advise me of the tracking number. He advised me of the tracking number which is #786164265354 and will be here at my home address on Friday. When I received it I would be given further instructions and to purchase all necessary equipment including Laptop, printer, scanner and all appropriate programming for my job juties. I received a call at approximately 8:49AM from a individual by the name of James Wright/Right?? (763)308-3154 and advised me that he was the HR representative for CAE Healthcare. He also advised me that the check being sent was for $4000.00. I questioned Mr. Wright and asked him how long the company had been in existing and where the home/corporate office was located.

He did not give me the number and also stated I could get in touch with him for any questions. All the information I have is by email from the app Hangouts on Google.
