    why doesn't the bank do a better job recognizing the check as fake before authorizing it? Seems like the bank is conspiring with this scam.

      Correct, Atom. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised! What a bunch of dirtbags.

    Same thing happen to this woman not to long ago, that she was laid off from her job due to covid 19, so she decided to find a work from home job, she found one and they "hired" her, and send her a check around the same amount, she cashed the check, and her money is gone. What "company" would hire you, then send you a check? BIG RED FLAG!!

      @@CognitoTanKhaiiHuitkh9917 What happens is that as soon as she cashes the check, the scammers will tell her to send money from her bank account to their account. The check will then show as declined later on, so the scammer gets her money while she loses the money she sent to the scammer.

      A legitimate work from home job would never do that. They'll hire you and put you on their payroll, but they'll pay you after completing some work for them.

      That's exactly why when I played with a scammer like that, I took all my money out of my account (I also needed to switch banks, so that was a plus). Idiots didn't realize I was playing with them until I exposed right to them that I knew lol

    Yeah... This is such an obvious scam that's been going on for years. Something is wrong if they send you a check for 3500 then asks you to forward some of that money to some bookstore. I guess the girl hasn't worked a job in her life or else she would've thought something was very off. This is not how a hiring process works.

    Many banks hold checks for 2-5 days. In this case wait the whole five days. When they pressure you to send them money that's when the red flags go up high. But as a general rule you don't send jobs money nor do jobs send you no unless you do some sort of work first

Profile pic was of a 60 year old white man ,but when I tried to call them through IG they immediately declined the call. IG allowed me to see, for a split second, who was on the end. Was a black man between 20-30 years old.
