Type of a scam Employment
Michael said that the company would pay for setting up my remote office in my home, and I would be getting a laptop as well. At first he wanted me to use Bitcoin as the exchange, but I said I'd only deal in the US dollar. So he complied. He said I would be getting a check in the mail for my supplies. He never asked me for the supplies I needed, so I wondered how he knew how much to send me. But he said it was all done remotely and that there needed to be a paper trail, so that's why I was to be paid, then I would buy the supplies needed from their Vendor. It took about 4 days and I received a check in the mail for $9,450. That amount shocked me and I immediately called him (thru Wire) and told him that I wasnt comfortable with that much money. He told me to immediately take the check to an ATM and deposit it and send him a pick of the deposit slip. He was very demanding and I told him that I wasnt going to deposit the check to an ATM, after hours. I asked him why the check came from an insurance company and why the shipping company was a bulk transport service. He answered with some BS, and I just listened. The next day was Good Friday, so I told him I would call him back Monday afternoon, April 10. I wanted time to call the company where the check was from and also the carrier. Monday morning I called the company that was on the check and talked to Paula in their accounting department. It was an insurance company but she said they had endured fraud in the last few months and that this was a scam. She had me take a pic of the check (attached) and asked me to email the pic to her and then destroy the check. So that's what I did. I contacted Michael this afternoon and told him I would not be doing business with him and he was never to contact me again.
I do not know the plan with this scam. They wanted me to deposit that amount in my account, then wanted my deposit information. He was very, very pushy and overbearing when I told him I wouldnt deposit it immediately. But the only personal information he got from me was my address and phone number, as well as the name of my bank (he'd asked for it he said so that they can make sure their direct deposit would work. I never gave him any more information than the name of my bank). It scares me to think of what may have happened if I hadnt looked into this.
