Good evening, I recently received an email from an individual named Charles Gillespie about a Data Entry position. I engaged in an 'interview' over MS Teams with this person and sent a signed copy of an employment letter and W-4 that had your letterhead. He then proceeded to send me a check for $3,750.00 to print out and deposit to my checking account, then sign up for CashApp and Zelle, ostensibly for the purposes of purchasing equipment. He directed me to forward $500.00 to someone who is supposedly a 'trusted vendor'. However, when the CashApp and Zelle methods failed to work, he advised me to go to the nearest WalMart and purchase an Apple gift card in the amount of $500.00. He stated that I would need to purchase 3 of these in 3 separate locations. It was at this point that I became suspicious. Please confirm that this person does not in fact work for you, as I believe I will need to be asking authorities to investigate this matter now. I can provide screenshots of our conversations if necessary. Thank you.
