While submitting an online resume, I received a text msg from 516-408-2301 stating that my profile had been reviewed and would like further conversation regarding a potential job offer and to reach out for an interview on Google "Hangouts" at 8:00AM (PST) with a Mrs. Rita Shawn, representing a company by the name of PS IT infrastructure & services, LTD. After a lengthily text session, I got very suspicious because this person did not want to do a video chatting session. This individual advised me that their company was going to open up a new office in my location and I would be a perfect match for an open position. They went on to give me a list of IT requirements that I would need to purchase in order to set up and work from home until they secured a location in the city I reside in. The next day I received a cashier's check via FedEx in the amount of $37500.00. This check was written on behalf of D. L. Evans Bank. I did not fell easy at all about the situation, so I contacted the bank to verify the legitimacy of the check before attempting to deposit it into my personal bank account. The check was sent via a person who's name was J. Foreman (214-612-6639) from XYTEX Cryo International, 1100 Emmett St, Augusta GA, 30904 . The bank verified that the check was fradualent
