Part rant, part looking for advice.

I was recently hired for a remote WFH data entry job. Or at least that's what I thought.

I applied through Indeed for data entry with this company. I was interviewed twice for the data entry position and was offered the job, which I accepted. The next day they called and informed me the position had been placed on hold. Annoying, but it happens.

The day after that they came back and said nevermind! We'd like to hire you after all. Okay, neato!

The verbal agreement was data entry, the contract I signed says data entry, but 3.5 hours into onboarding and I found out it's an outbound call center to try to talk medical providers into joining Medicaid.

I'm working with two other people who were also lied to about the position. When we contacted HR they completely blew us off and my recruiter absolutely will not return my calls or texts.

Obviously I'm writing reviews for them where I can, but what do I even do at this point? I'd quit but I need the money (I'm actively searching for another job, but I can't afford to not work). Is there anything I can do?
