Report

A friend applied for a job with Engineering Solutions, PLLC through their school job board (Berkley College). They got a text from a representative at the company identifying that they were being considered for the position and asked that they create a Skype account to partake in a virtual interview. They created the Skype account and proceeded in a text interview with the company representative. The following day they were messaged by the representative through Skype identifying that they were moving on to the next steps. At this point they discussed some normal employment information--needed equipment and the hybrid nature of the role. They identified that the position required an 18 inch Apple MacBook, 4 in one printer, 500GB hard drive, blue ray drive, and simply accounting 2016. When asked if this would be covered by the company they stated that they would send a check and required my friend to cover the cost of the equipment with the check and have the equipment shipped to my friend's home address. They requested my friend to reach out to a company and request a Proforma Invoice for the needed equipment. Once the invoice was received and forwarded to the Engineering Solutions, PLLC representative, they then identified that they would be mailing a check out to my friend to cover the cost of the equipment. When my friend received the check they asked me to deposit it for them because they did not have a bank account. We both signed the check and I deposited it. Once it cleared the company asked for the funds to be sent to a representative of another company (Upper Level Property Group) in increments through Zelle. $500 was sent to the provided Zelle email, and then $1000 was sent, which was held under pending by Zelle. This was communicated to the representative of Engineering Solutions, PLLC to which they provided another email to send the remaining amount to, identifying the individual as a representative from BMC Software. $500 and then $433 was sent to [email protected]. Once this was done, the following day I received an email from my bank identifying that my account was being investigated, I would not be able to access my account, and my remaining funds would be mailed to me in the form of a check. I reached out to them and they informed me that the check was returned, resulting in my account going into the negative for $2,433. After discussing the situation and providing them more information, I was informed that name of the company on the check deposited (Spring Valley Construction Company) did not match the name of the company (Engineering Solutions, PLLC), and I was also informed that I would be liable for the funds. An attempt was made to reach out to the company, they claimed that my account would be back to normal by the end of the following day. But I did not believe anything would change as I did not see a reasonable way for them to make that happen considering they are not my bank and should not or would not have any direct access to my CapitalOne accounts.
