Total money lost $4,000
Type of a scam Employment

This company was offering a remote Data Entry position. They originally advised that they would be sending me a check in the mail that would cover the first weeks pay plus the money that was needed for the supplies and software licenses to purchase. I deposited the check and about 3 days later I called the bank to ensure that the check had cleared. The company said that they had paid the vendor to have the product sent to me to begin training. So part of the money from the check would need to be sent back to them. Once I had confirmed with the bank that the check was cleared the company had me Zelle the money back to 3 different emails due to the amount that needed to be sent back. Once that was done, about 3 days later the check bounced for insufficient funds. I contacted the company they acted like they did not understand why and that they would refund my money at the end of this month. Since I have been going back and forth with the contact in regards to when the money will be returned. I still have not received the training product either. The communication is becoming less and less each day. This company essential stole $4000.00 from me. I am currently in the process of reporting this to the police, the banks and DOJ to get to assistance. I have been dealing with this for over a month and half now and still no resolution from the company to getting me my money back.
