Type of a scam Counterfeit Product
I was applying for a customer service job (via Craigslist) and once I was offered the position, the supervisor (name alias Michael Paul) put me into contact with my training supervisor (name alias Gerald Pruitt). All communication was conducted via email and Google Hangouts. I was sent a cashier’s check via USPS drawn from Bank of America to purchase office supplies and materials and was instructed to put the check into my bank account. After the check cleared, I was then instructed to go to a MoneyGram location to send the money to the company vendor located in Georgia. Once I sent the money, I was told that I would be receiving the materials the next day. The next day came and I discovered that the bank had returned the check because it was counterfeit.
