Have you already provided these documents to the "employer"? If not I wouldn't until you are sure they are legit.

I have all of the businesses training information linking back to numbers and emails, if it’s a employment scam that was meant to take my identity information then tracking them down would not be to difficult in the event that they aren’t a real business and they try to use my information. I ran some of the phone numbers on the training through a background search and names don’t add up, they told us to be on training calls and they have not been been on which is peculiar. Guess I should hand over the emails from them to law enforcement. Looking up the business on the BBB yielded no results.

Its the combination of documents (W-P, I-9 and bank information) that makes me think that there is a chance that its not legit. You meeting one of them in a coffee shop also makes me a bit suspicious. Just find a phone number for them independently, call the number to see if it sounds like a real business and if the person you met works there. You might also get an address for them and drive by that address.

I got a credit freeze just incase they were trying to use my information.ill have to check the credit bureaus if someone is trying to use my information.
