Type of a scam Employment
I found this job on indeed and it seems like a too good to be true job that paid $55000 annually. The first I found wierd was they ask what my bank name was for salary purposes. The job description said I would be a receptionist but after applying they changed it up and said I would processing checks at home. I knew something was up so I started googling everything about the company until I found this scam website and search the company name and found that just a month ago someone else has been scammed but worst than me. So I write this report to say be careful and never accept a job that mixes things around before the interview even took place.

I applied to be the Executive Assistant at a company named Dominant Care through Indeed. I was selected after 2 weeks and received a pretty detailed offer letter- as such: From the desk of Ms. Evelyn Cruz, I am pleased to extend an offer of employment from dominant. As discussed, I would like to welcome you aboard in a full-time, receptionist position. In your new role, you will report to Evelyn Cruz owner and CEO of Dominant Care. If you accept our offer, we anticipate that your first day of employment (At the office) will be July, 31st 2019. We look forward to welcoming you aboard. As you already know, from previous communications, you will be working away from the office for the first week, while helping with the final preparations for the launch for the company. During this week you would be running errands on behalf of the organization. You will receive an annual base salary of $55,000, which will be paid weekly. Simplifying this, your salary will be $25/hr. You would be working Mondays through Fridays. Hours will be communicated to you upon my arrival next week, But i expect it to be the standard 9am-4pm. This is also negotiable. You get an hour break in-between for lunch. The office is located very close to you. (At-least going by the address on your application) but, I shall be sending the actual address in the course of the week. Also, as regards the errand you would be running next week, You would be receiving a pay of 950 dollars for the work done during the week, which will be sent to you exactly a week from Tuesday, making your first payday July, 31st 2019. Please be informed that a donation check of $975 will be coming your way on Tuesday. This check is payment towards the construction going on at the office, and as such, as soon as you receive the donation on Tuesday, please, notify me of the receipt and go ahead to deposit the payment at your bank. The payment normally takes 24 hours to clear. Once the payments have cleared, you would be deducting $100 for miscellaneous expenses incurred during the week, such as, gas. It’s important to note that this $100 is not included in your salary for the week. The rest of the amount would be sent to the construction company handling the project at the office. I also personally await further instructions on the means of payment acceptable by the construction company, I should have that information in the coming days, as soon as I have that detail, you would be the first to know.

I was then contacted by Evelyn about my first task- getting the money for the office to the construction company. I asked all my important questions, and even asked questions about some things that seemed odd to me- like cashing checks. I was told I would only have to complete this because Evelyn was not in LA yet, it was a one time thing and I would meet and fill out all paperwork on July 31st. After depositing the check- I was sent to a Mundo Check Cashing place and asked to wire the money to the Construction Company Representative Cassie Katherine Velazquez. I completed that and told I would receive further instructions. The next day, I looked in my account and it was in the negative- I called my bank to see what was going on and I was told that the check was in fact fraudulent. I reached out to the CEO, she said she would make some calls to see whats going on, I haven’t heard back. I am so upset and I can’t believe people can be so cruel, please be aware of this scam and this company. Please
