This is a scam. Unfortunately, innocent people are the victim. My friend was layoff during Covid-19, someone with a valid Linkin account offer him a job, went through interview, everything look legit.
He used someone as the HR director, after doing a search, we found everything to be okay. They issue her a check to deposit and buy a Table and chair to work from home. 3 days after , they reached out saying that they would rather ship him the chair and table so he should refund them the money via Zelle. After the Zelle number looks legit and aligns with the company name. After sending the money, the bank sent an alert that the account is slow because the check that was deposited was invalid. We engaged the bank and the police but to no avail.
So just be extra careful.
Excuse typo
