Merrill lynch

Victim Location 47265

Type of a scam Employment

I saw an ad on Facebook for a work from home job so I asked about it I received an email address and a application code to message on the hangouts app I started talking to the lady her name was Carol K things seemed legit she even sent me an application for Merrill Lynch via email said the company would provide everything I needed then the next day said I needed to purchase an Amazon gift card for 250 to cover the equipment but I would be reimbursed for it she wouldn’t give me the vendors name. When I said I didn’t have a way to get the money she said the company would deposit it for me. I said then you pay the vendor and she said I had to because that way I would get the credit for it. I said no thank you. This all seemed legit until she asked for the money I even can find this ladys name on liken said she works there and when I just checked the original lady that posted the jobs Facebook account is gone her name was Lisette C
