- Avon, CT, USA

Went along with the Teams request for an interview. Answered a few generic questions and immediately got offered a job. Next day they sent me a check to buy the supplied I would need to work from home.

While on the Teams meeting (text only, they would not set up an actual phone call) they emailed me a check and asked me to deposit it right away. The check was from some construction company in Georgia.

I looked them up and called them to ask them about the check. The company said this was not the first call they had received about this and that the check was bogus. Probably stolen from an old account.

I'm sure that the next thing Benjamin Sutter (if that was his real name) would have asked me to do was to send money to their preferred vendor to buy supplies right away knowing that the check was bogus.

This company is a GIANT SCAM. THEY DO NOT MAKE AFFORDABLE HOUSES "DELIVERED WITH HUMANITY" as their web site proclaims. They are TOTAL SCAMMERS AND THIEVES.

scammer sent me a check which he then asked me to run around and distribute to a "vendor" with the name of "Mr. Alan" using bitcoin. Then the next day it was gift cards, I refused, then he wanted me to do the bitcoin again. I again refused and am reporting.

The scammer was working with someone on Instagram that messaged me about being a model for them. The Instagram artist sent my phone number to her "client" and the client emailed me checks that he continuously badgered me to scan. Once I did, he had me send some over to Cashapp to then be converted into bitcoin and sent to a specific address.

I I was contacted by text for a job position as a Claim Support Associate position, with a link for a chat. I went on the chat. There I stared a chat Roy Burklalter, which was a chat interview. After some small chat he offered some other positions other than Claims Support Associate, at this point I became suspicious. He informed me about the benefits. He told me that he would be mailing me a check to buy a list of supplies. I informed that I received the check for 3890.00 drawn on First National Bank in Greencastle, Indiana. The company name is from Putman County Hospital, they asked me to deposit the check into my checking account, and I said no that I need to keep things separate. The chat ended and never heard from Roy again. But Dylan Walker to me that he verified that I deposited the check, I said no that I still have the original check, and that conversation ended.

I still have the original check and I have copies of the chat.

The scammer reached out to me with a job offer then had sent a check over to me then had me cash it, and it was not a good check I’m thinking, and now since it won’t clear they’re asking me to pay forward. Communicating is all via email.

- New York, NY, USA

I'm partially self employed, and I was asked to work on a comission which we sgreed would be paid through zelle. After I finished the comission, I was told that he wasn't able to dozelle, and he would send my payment by e-check. I didn't want to lose my money for all my effort, so I agreed. He then proceeded to send me 3 checks for $400, claiming that one was part of a bonus (original total amount agreed upon was 2 payments of $400). he got my email address, name and phone number but that's pretty much it. He wanted screenshots of the deposits which I thought was weird, and then asked if I could do him a favor. He had a single mother that he wanted to help out and he wanted me to send her money. I immediately got super suspiscious and did my best to delay, claiming I didn't want to do anything until the funds "cleared." He got very aggressive and pushy, going as far as to call me multiple times to try to pressure me to wake up early to transfer the funds. When I pointed out that this was looking like a scam, he got hostile andthreatened to send my account into the negatives (not possible, as he didn;t have any of my credentials). He spam texted me, and then I received a text from another icloud account, claiming that they had been "hired to assassinate me" and that they knew where my family and I lived. I called my bank and got the checks removed, and they verified with the bank on the check that there was no account under that account number.

Also received a similar text tonight at 9pm. I have a photo booth business so they used that to try to "lure" me in for an "event" they were trying to "book". The way he was inquiring was a red flag, he said the city that my business is registered in for his "event" First he asked for my full name which I never gave, i gave him our booking link and then he said he wont click on any links and that's why he's texting me at 9PM at night. No client ever texts late or barely text me at all.Then he asked for me to do him a favor, i wanted to be humored, i already knew it was a scam but i was playing along. HE said "The favor is due to my event planner that’s planning the wedding don't have the access to bill me on credit card so I want you to add sum of $2,500 to the invoice you are sending so total payment will be 3,000 once I made the payment to you you will keep $500 your full payment then send the rest to the event planner" I told him to F off and laughed at his face

The scammers used a person that I know from Facebook. They offered a job that was remote. Then directed me to id.me and the social security office portion. Then you send them the number so they can access this information. Once the facebook friend offer you the job they ask for your email address. Because that is how all of the correspondence will take place. You never know the person name you deal with unless their is a problem that takes place. Then they email you a copy of a check. And from their you deposit it via your bank app. And this check is sent so that you can buy equipment that is needed. But the checks will come up fraud. And you lose money that way. But they have all of your information.
