Victim Location 95630
Type of a scam Employment
I received a message through LinkedIn and from a contact that I knew endorsing me for a part-time job. I clicked on it and filled out the info to apply. Then I got my first assignment via email from Kimberly advising me I would be receiving a check to buy gift cards and to rate the customer service experience. For my services, my commission would be $350. Now that I’m writing this I can’t believe that I fell for it. I received the check and the check is from Santander Bank and it’s a personal check from Jean J. Paul and Dashkar Paul 154 Delaware Trl, Lakewood, NJ 08701. I then went back on LinkedIn where my contact wrote that his account was hacked. So thank God I didn’t cash the check.
