Victim Location 32817
Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I look for work on UpWork as a freelance writer pretty regularly. I should have known that something was off about this job posting when I was immediately contacted by the SVP of HR. Unfortunately, the person used a real name that I discovered on LinkedIn. I was asked to do a Google hangout online interview by Jay Klosterboer. He explained that he was Dover Corporation which is true according to his profile.
After a series of questions, the person told me they would go to the head of HR (I thought this was the Senior VP) to finalize the hire. Then it got really fishy.
As soon as I asked him how long he has been working with Dover Corporation, he became extremely defensive and told me it was a turnoff to ask him something like that. Like many scams, he told me that I would receive a check, use the money from my deposit to buy materials from their vendor. And I confronted him right away.
Here is the conversation:
