Yesterday morning, I came to my desk and found an email from “Indeed” with a invitation to interview for a work from home Data Entry Clerk position.
There were a few problems with this:
1. I don’t have a resume posted on Indeed and if I did I’d be one of the last people a real company would be interested in for a Data Entry role. I suck at typing and even more at typing with accuracy.
2. That email from Indeed, came from a completely unrelated email address in Paraguay.
3. The interview was to take place on Signal – a messenger app.
4. The pay was $45 per hour.
This was 100% a scam and I was 100% on board to have a play date with them! (There’s a hint about how it turned out in the post graphic above.)
I engaged and, within a couple of hours I was hired and holding a check for $4,970. Money to be used to purchase all of the software and equipment I’d need to thrive in this new role.
I captured the entire interaction in a video that will expose how work from home “Check for Equipment Scams” work.
And, although I have a fit of the giggles in the last 6 minutes of the video, this stuff is serious!
View that video on YouTube or below:
