She said she had three interviews over the phone with a woman, but nothing over Zoom.
She said she received a four-page offer letter along with W-4 and I-9 forms. She filled it all out, including payment paperwork asking for bank information. Days later, she received a notification that $10,000 was withdrawn from her account.She said she contacted the person who hired her and they admitted to taking her money. Unfortunately, her bank was only able to get half her money back.
