Type of a scam Employment
I was looking for a job opportunity and applied online through LinkedIn for a Graphic Designer opportunity.I was later contacted regarding my application and went through an online interview process. They later offered me employment and even sent me a offer letter for me to sign and fill out. They informed me they were going to set up a mini home office for me as its part of the employment package. They sent me a check via Fed-Ex in order for me to able to pay for this equipment which would later become mine if i passed my first 90 days. The check was sent via Fedex priority and i was able to deposit it in my bank and have the funds no longer pending the next day. They informed me to create a cashiers check and deposit into a bank of america account in order to pay the vendors for the equipment which they would deliver to my house. Due to recent weather the supervisor who was supposed to drop off the equipment informed me that it would be delayed. I have come to find that the check was bounced as it has placed me in 7000 in debt.
