Total money lost $4,300
Type of a scam Employment
I was contacted by someone impersonating Philip Blake of the Bayer Company. I signed an employment contract, went through an interview process, etc. They sent me 2 checks to deposit into my account and then instructed me where to send the money via Venmo, cash app, etc. So after I had spent the money, the money was taken back out of my account a few days later because their checks bounced. They also asked me to buy apple gift cards and send photos.

Type of a scam Employment
Received a personal assistant job position, without an interview or application. I was asked for my name and address, and a check was sent of $4,750.00, which I was supposed to keep $500 as my first week’s pay. Then, the rest was to purchase items for them, and deliver where they asked me to. I didn’t go through with the deposit and first task, because I believe this a scam.
