Josh Weeber

4/25/22-4/29/22: Received a text message from Aria Benson claiming she was from Adecco & their HR Manager, Josh Weeber, would like to interview me. I have been looking for a job for a while now, so I jumped at the chance. Everything with Josh was done via the telegram text app. Interview seemed very legitimate as he asked all the questions I have answered with other companies. He text messaged me the next day and offered me the job. He told me he would send me a check to pay their vendor for the Apple laptop they were providing me. He said I would then pay their vendor via Zelle. He sent me 2 checks totaling approximately $3400 which I paid out to their vendor. I got suspicious when he asked me to do this for another employee who was having problems with it. The checks are actually issued from Johnson & Johnson, which I, unfortunately, did not notice until it was too late. Johnson & Johnson will dispute the check and the money is then taken out of your account because it is being disputed. You will, then, be responsible for paying your bank back.
