Fashion Nova Carla M. Macias, Eilen Yu Jen Sey Fraudulent Job Offer that gets your identification and possible money laundering by Fashion Nova fake representatives Los Angeles California

I received an email from Eilen Yu who represented herself as a recruiter for Fashion Nova. The email said that my resume was found on Indeed.com and that I was short listed for an interview. I was to contact the VP of Human Resources, Carla M. Macias, by sending an email to her at: hr.deskoffice770@gmail.com. I was interested in the position for a graphic designer and contacted Carla Macias at this email. I was told to connect with her via Google Hangouts to have a virtual interview. She explained that their company was embracing new technology and that it was easier for her to share the interview with the board of directors.

I thought this looked valid especially because the position they were interviewing me for actually does exist on the company's website, fashionnova.com. Also, there is a Carla M. Macias on LinkedIn who's profile shows that she does indeed work at Fashion Nova as VP of Human Resources. During the chat Carla shared an image of her work ID that looked legitimate. I answered questions like an actual interview and at the end I was told to wait while she shared my information with the board of directors. I was then offered a position that was for a fairly good salary with training. I asked for time to think about it and later did accept the position.

I was emailed two PDF files for employment: 1) Acceptance Letter; and 2) ID form to show that I was allowed to work in the US which required that I send back an image of my birth certificate and drivers license as proof. I did this thinking still that it was legitimate. Once I did this I was told that the accountant was going to email me a check for $3550.00 so that I could purchase a computer, camera, software, and phone for the position. I was to print this check out and deposit it in my bank account. This is when I knew that this was a scam because I know you can't just email a check and print it out. I requested to speak to the accountant by phone which resulted in Carla Macias' text becoming rude and demanding. I then new for certain that I had already given these people my social security number, drivers license, and my birth certificate. Luckily they do not have my bank account numbers.

I have already notified the credit bureaus and my banks to place fraud alerts on my accounts. When I looked back at the chat text I had been having with Carla, all was deleted before I could take a screen shot. I only have the two email addresses. One for Eilen Yu: officedesk1179@gmail.com, IP Address: 209.85.128.41, and the one for Carla Macias: hr.deskoffice770@gmail.com, IP Address: 209.85.166.178, and Jen Sey: onlinedesk451@gmail.com, IP Address: 209.85.167.66.
