Total money lost $3,500
Type of a scam Employment
I was contacted by this organization regarding a position, specifically geared towards my creative career. The agency is a marketing company, seeking someone of my talents in the creative field. After a lengthy interviewing process online, they offered me the position and a document only asking for my signature. I then was given a list of materials I needed for my home office. They asked for banking information, which I declined to give, but asked for a paper check to be issued. After they sent a check, I deposited it into my account. I was then asked to send a money order to the vendor, so the materials could be sent to my home. The bank then froze my account, as the check was fraudulent.
