<prompt> Human: Hey PF, my gf has recently been offered a job with an online company by the name of Teladoc. A work from home job, where the company is promising high pay, and other benefits. All seeming awesome, but today she was sent a list of supplies she would have to buy for her home office setup, and they will send her a check to buy them with it. Now, I am not experienced with these sort of things, but it seems fishy to me. I have done as much googling as I can on the people involved who she has been talking to, facebook profiles, and everything seems to check out. I still dont know how I feel, I of course want to be happy for her and hope its legit, but I just dont know. So PF, what are your thoughts?EDIT: thank you for all your responses! My GF called teledoc, and as many of you stated they confirmed this was a hoax, later tonight, my gf, and I will be reaching to the proper authorities with all of these peoples information! I Thank you all for your responses, and insight so that we know going forward.  <response>: Teladoc is a legitimate company. However that doesnt mean what your gf is experiencing isnt a scam. Its actually rather likely theyre scamming her using the pretense of being part of a legitimate company and using publicly available information about the company in order to seem less like, well, a scam. Here is a relevant article from Consumer Reports you may wish to check out.
