Total money lost $1,500
Type of a scam Employment
I applied for a Administrative Assistant/Data Entry Clerk for Concentrix. I got an email a couple days later, I got an email saying that I was being selected for a job interview. She told me to download “Google Hangouts” in order to communicate about the job positioning. She interviewed me over text and I immediately got the job. Then she sent me a real looking contract and told me to print it out and sign it. After that, I was told I needed to purchase work materials. They were going to send me 3600 in the mail to cover the costs. At first I thought I was going to have to go out and get the materials myself. Then she informed me that I would deposit the check via bank. I waited for the check to go through and it did (initially). She told me to pay for the work materials via cashapp. I did. And I transferred the remaining money back. Then the 3600 dollar check uncleared and was taken out of my account so I was negative. She sent me another check for 3900 to deposit for additional costs for the work materials and I was told that she was going to reimburse me for the 3600. The 3900 cleared so I thought it was all fine. So I paid again. Then that check got taken back and marked “fraud”. By then I already sent well over 7,000 that they “gave me” but it was taken back so they basically took that from me. They hacked into my bank account and now my whole account is shut down and needs to be closed.
