This job contacted me online saying they found my resume online. I worked for them for a week and got my first paycheck. She wanted me to set her up for a conference with the money she sent me, but she wanted it done in a specific way. She wanted me to do a money transfer to two different people. Which, luckily I was smart and said no I wouldn’t do that. Then she told me to buy iTunes gift cards which I also said no. I tried to call her on two different numbers that she supplied, one was a fake automated message and the other a man answered and then hung up on me after I asked who it was because it obviously wasn’t the women I was e-mailing with(she was texting me from that number earlier). I then went to my bank and they confirmed the check they sent was fake. Luckily I didn’t do anything with the money or touched it so they were able to take it out of my account. Please be careful. This is as fake as it can be. I was a lucky one.
