Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I had applied to a job through indeed for a graphic design position with supposed bennettsteel with a guy named Joseph Driskell. It was to be an at home job. I did the interview online and then was told i got the position and went through the beginning stages of starting job like signing post offer form and giving copy of driver’s license for payment purposes. Then i was told i would be shipped a check in order to pay for equipment through vendor that would be shipped to me. I received the check and then was advised to wire payment to vendor company so equipment could be shipped. Since the whole process went through my account is now on hold and i am defaulted over 6800 dollars. The whole time I was thinking this was a new job through indeed whom i had never had any issues with in the past.
