Victim Location 13210
Type of a scam Employment
I am a MBA student at Syracuse University.
I got an email regarding employment from the email ID mentioned above regarding research assistant opportunity.
After applying I got a confirmation for and was told that to purchase some stuff (not mentioned) after getting the payment cheque.
Now I have received the payment cheque of $1912 but did not get any confirmation/ legal letter for employment. This looked suspicious to me, so I stopped responding to the person contacting me via text messages.
Now I am getting threat texts from the same phone number "I HAVE YOUR COMPLETE NAME AND ADDRESS AND I WILL BE MAKING A SERIOUS LEGAL ACTION IF I DO NOT HEAR BACK FROM YOU NOW".
