GE Healthcare, Waukeska, WI John Hilton, Patricia Bartlett, Victoria Lamberty, Barbara Honer At home data entry, accounting total scam requesting money for software Internet

I responded to an ad from officejobs24@Yahoo.com for Data entry/typists from home.  I received an email from John Hilton and was told my resume was forwarded to the head of operations, Ms. Patricia Bartlett and instructed to set up a Yahoo IM account and add Patriciabarlett70@Yahoo.com as a contact. I was scheduled for an interview and briefing.  Yahoo is free to anyone, that should have been my first hint. 

I did this on 7/8/12 and was contacted by Patricia Bartlett, picture included on her site.  After a long IM chat she stated she had to confer with her manager.  I received another email from Lina Williams [williamslina92@yahoo.com] with a very official looking job offer to sign and return. 

After that I was instructed to send $278 to their vendor, Barbara Honer, Myrtle Beach SC 29577 to cover the cost of software for the laptop that would be sent via  FedEx.  I, unfortunately, sent the $278 at an additional Western Union cost of $34.
I was contacted on 7/11/12 by my trainer, Victoria Lamberty who proceeded to provide a huge list of almost $5450.99 worth of necessary equipment before my training could begin.  When I refused and stated I did not have the funds, she left to talk to her supervisor and "contact me in an hour".

This never happened because I began a deeper internet search into this company, and discovered another report from Colorado on these same individuals.  Thank you Elizabeth for filing your report.

I assume I will hear nothing from them, deleted their names from the Yahoo account, deleted the account and came to this site to report them and lick my wounded pride.
