So this is in fact a scam that I gotten taken by. I applied for the job through Indeed, and got a response from them, just as the first person wrote exact verbatim. I filled out the information and sent back the agreement. The next day when everything was to get started, he sent me an email, and told me a transfer of 2000 was sent to my bank by email money transfer. I got the email and proceeded. He sent me an email as soon as the transfer was done.
I was told to locate the nearest bitcoin ATM and gave me a link to access one, there happened to be one a short walk from my house. I went there and deposited the money as directed, using a code that was sent to my email. Within 10 minutes of the deposit they had notification and thanked me for the job, and told me there would be another order the next day.
They did in fact pay me for the order i did. I was told to take 100 from the transfer as my compensation for the work. I thought this was good, I only had to work less then an hour from home, and get paid 100 bucks seemed good. I figured if i did 2 a day that would be good money.
It was not until today when i saw this posting i realized it was a scam and contacted my bank, only to realize that the bank was one step ahead, and froze my account for suspicious activity. I called and went to the bank and provided all the correspondence I had with them, along with the bitcoin receipts. Due to this activity my bank has suspended my ability to do money transfer by email, but did reinstate my account.
If you receive info from them just delete it an move on. Be cautious as I have received several offers from companies doing the same thing, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
Wow this is crazy. Got the same thing too...unfortunately I did fill out the info to her, good thing didnt get to the point of actually getting deposits into my account! Obviously will not be going forward with this crap
Everyone be careful!
I did in fact send her my info, and I regret doing it now. Nothing has happened as of yet, but i provided my passport of verification which includes my photo.
When I spoke to the bank, they said that I should get in contact with the local police. I called Peel Police, and they said I had to call RCMP fraud helpline division, but they are closed on the weekend, so I will have to call tomorrow when they open.
Stay away from this company it will [***] you up, its not worth the 100 you will receive from them. I got my bank account frozen for suspicious activity, if this was legit, the bank would not have done so. Then bank also told me that if it were to happen again they will close the account, they take this very seriously.
I was able to provide them the details and paperwork showing that I was under the impression that this is a job, so they let me off with a warning. However they did take my ability to send or receive EMT(Email money transfer) away until the issue is resolved.
This was a huge headache I had to do so much running around on Saturday to take care of this mess.
