Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
People posing as employers attempt to trick job seekers into sending them money. Typically, they ask the job seeker to buy a needed item or claim that they are relocating and want to pay the job seeker in advance. They will send the job seeker a check (often for a large sum of money) and request that the job seeker cash the check and send a portion of the money back to them. The check is fraudulent, but the job seeker doesn’t learn this until it’s too late – after they have sent a portion of the money back to the scammer.
