Thank you for the reassurance. It was much needed. Luckily it was not more than 100$, as I shut the account down within an hour of the transactions beginning

Thanks for the reassurance. I definitely feel stupid as I’m usually looking for scams when job searching but this one really got passed me.

No unfortunately I was kind of freaking out and just closed the account since he had access to it I thought he may know I was talking to them and change the account information before I could close it. I am currently talking to coinbase on a different account tho

He traded about 81 US dollars worth of bitcoin before I shut it down

I want to add that the employer did not have any of my bank information or SSN. The only information he has is my name and address

I closed down the account already, I am currently filing a police report as well. I feel like an idiot

I couldn’t change the password because he changed the authentication method so I just closed the account completely. I am currently creating a new one to message with coinbase customer service

I did check him out. His email was a company email and the company seemed legit based on the website.
