Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
Scammer offer a remote job as an administrative assistant, first communication was via email, after that phone calls and text. After two weeks of working ,he was supposed to pay my remote salary. He send me a check via FEDEX and let me know that check was arriving with additional money since he needed me to make some payments on his behalf. I receive a check for $6,750 with my name,I deposited on my bank account and the next day he call me indicating he needed to send a few payments and if I had some money in my bank account that I could send until the check will be on my account. I send 2,100 in different payments to a number he gave me for his payments. His check bounce in my account and he disappear.
After this situation ,I have started to do research of the address that I receive the check via FEDEX, it appears to be an address of a family with their information, check is under a name of a company and with a false Bank Account. Until this day he keeps texting and indicating that he us requesting another check since he didn’t know what happened
I think I’m going through the same thing right now. I will attached a photo so you guys won’t get scammed too.
