Type of a scam Employment

I saw a post on our community FB page advertising a work from home date entry apportunity. After speaking to a person on FB named Linda Goodman Arnold, I was directed to a WhatsApp hiring manager, "Angela Clevenger". After asking questions that seem appropriate for an interview, except asking for bank name- which I refused to give, they make you stay on-line to get your results. I suspect they hacked or tried to hack my phone during that time. We will see. Than asked for all personal information including pic with DL in order to move forward in the hiring process. I was uncomfortable doing so and asked for another platform. I was given an email address, [email protected] I still felt uncomfortable and reached out to the comapny via their pngage and it was confirmed to be a scam.

Found an add online via Facebook classified for a job as a data entry clerk. They respond to you and advise that they wish to interview you via the Whatsapp social media platform. They start the conversation off by giving you a picture of someones drivers license and indicate that this is them to help make you feel like they are legitimate. They then ask you a whole bunch of questions on Whatsapp like an interview. They then tell you that you are hired and they are paying $18/hour and talk about the software that you will need. They say you are hired to do data entry for the company Degreed. They then tell you they are going to be sending you a HP Laptop in the mail, and a check for the software that you will need to use for the data entry, and you get to keep $200 out of that for a hiring bonus. They require you to send in a copy of your drivers license and provide your phone number and email address.
