"Amazon Financial Agent Position" Phishing Scam

How can I protect myself after I gave my ID?

I first got a call from a nice Asian girl. She then sent me the email describing the Amazon Independent Financial Agent job with scam written all over it.
The email:
"Dear Stephen,
Thank you for your interest in becoming part of the Amazon's Independent Financial Agents team.
This position will require you to open a Small Business Checking account with any bank, in order to do payment processing via wire transfers.
We will assist you, or we will issue all the documents needed to open your Small Business Checking account [the Employer Identification Number (EIN) through IRS system and the complete Business Documents from Secretary of State office].
You will be working as our Independent partner that processes contracts for part of Amazon's collaborators through your new Limited liability Company and your new Small Business Checking account.
When you process a wire transfer, you will hold your share of 5% to 10% of any transaction before you forward the payment to the next merchant.
The list of Benefits includes, but is not limited to 5% to 10% commission, out of each transaction / Complete Health Insurance / Take-home/Company car, available after the probation period.
One of the benefits of being our Independent Financial Agent is being able to get a company car, though it is not mandatory, but is an option for those who think a car will be helpful. Each partner will become eligible for a company car after the first 2-3 months of proper work.
Most of our partners are able to earn over $10,000 a month just by doing this method of processing payments with Amazon.
The process of starting the partnership with us is the following: We will send you step-by-step instructions on how to issue yourself (for free) an Employer Identification Number (EIN) through the IRS system (or, you can send us your Social Security Number and we will issue the EIN in your behalf).
We will work with the Secretary of State office and issue your Business Documents as well.
Based on your EIN and Business Documents you will be able to open your Small Business Checking account with a bank.
Once your Small Business Checking Account is ready, you can start processing payments by receiving your first wire transfers. You should cash out the funds received in your bank account, you will hold your 5% to 10% share, and then you will forward the rest of the funds based on our instructions. Once the process is complete, you are ready to process the next payment.
If you are ready to accept this great opportunity you may sign the attached contract and send it back to us along with a copy of your ID.
Please feel free to reply at any time with any question.
Sincerely,
Anne Turner

I was duped into sending my info in with a picture of my id ; I went to a website www.amz-center.com and entered my info because a good friend of mines who is an HR person told me about it.
After I gave them my info, I received a call stating they could not use my greendot card; so I opened a capitalone account and sent it. Fortunately, the capone card allowed me to see that my social was on the dark web so I have put a freeze on my credit.

got text from 2532086272@vtext.com which sent me to a site that has the exact word for word narrative on it that you have listed.

I knew this was to good to be true.
Before coming to this site I went to www.amz-center.com.
When I noticed they wanted an bank account number, I looked up the number that called me.
Sure enough it stated a scam.

I received the same message as others, but what is interesting is how they got my number.
I use a google voice number for ALL my activities, online, social, purchasing, job hunting, etc.
The number that the scammer used was not my Google voice number, but my direct cell number.
I had only "shared" this number with Amazon HR.
Meaning that someone hacked Amazon or their partners' data files, or an Amazon insider "lifted" this information.

I recived a text first, then then I got a call from 509-497-3277 asking for my email ( the guy had an
Accent; it sounded Indian), got an email from Support@amz-hr-dept.com asking me to send.
An picture of myself holding my ID, also a picture of my ID and a PDF of a part-time and full time Application ( I did not open the PDFs) I googled
The email address and found this article.

They are using this website: www.amz-employment-agent.info

I was exposed in this scam. Thanks to this website I was able to act quickly and close my checking account before any attempt to access. My thanks to onlinethreatalerts for their posting.

I received a txt message with a link to the same message. figured it was bogus and deleted the txt.
