Supply Planner

Amazon is focused on protecting the health and safety of our employees while continuing to serve people who need our services more than ever.
Regular testing on a global scale across all industries would both help keep people safe and help get the economy back up and running.

Unfortunately, today we live in a world of scarcity where COVID-19 testing is heavily rationed.

Don't Be Fooled

The fraudster will send a check to the victim who has accepted a job. The check can be for multiple reasons such as signing bonus, supplies, etc. The victim will be instructed to deposit the check and use the money for any of these reasons and then instructed to send the remaining funds to the fraudster. The check will bounce and the victim is left responsible.
