Total money lost $1,800
Type of a scam Employment
I was sent this email through my school email; they sent me a letter with instructions to buy giftcards to gift to charity and a check for $1,800. After purchasing the giftcards for them, they took all the money and then my account was frozen. I was no longer allowed access to my saving account. The bank then called and told me that the check was faulty. A few days of no response came back from the scammer company and I was left $1,8000 in debt to the bank.

First, I was sent a text from a random number attached below. I was instructed to check my email for detailed instructions about my assignment, which I did receive. In the email it gave instructions for the supposed check for $1378 that was apparently sent to my address. When I replied telling the person that I didn’t receive any check in the mail, they continued to tell me that I had lost my mind and that they were gonna have to report me for “running off” with their money. I replied saying I did not want to be contacted further, that I knew this was a scam, and that I was contacting local authorities. The contact has stopped since then.
