09/11/2023 - I recently moved and have been looking for a remote job position. I was emailed an invited for a remote job, customer service representative. We scheduled a interview, it was on Microsoft teams, and they said an online interview in a form of a chat back and forth. I have never done this kind of interview, but I thought that for a big company maybe it was time efficient. They said they were for element consulting.

09/12/23 I was hired! They were going to send me check the next morning so I can order my work supplies.

09/13/23 I received a check for $3,452. Deposited into my check only $2,500 was released due to my banks policy. They asked me to put that amount into my apple wallet. It went through than they had me trying send the $2,500 to other people. They all kept failing due to scam alerted. They then asked me to transfer the amount back to my account. Then they asked me to try pay pal, google pay and cash app. This all was over 6 hours. Cash app was the only one that went through for $995, to $jessicasegress for what they said was a mac book. During this whole time, I was questioning if it was a scam but then I was thinking "oh they set me the check it has to be legit." After dealing with them from 8 am - 2 pm I had enough. I told them I do not want to work for them. They said to go to the store and take two 500$ vanilla gift cards from two stores. I ignored them after that and did not respond for the rest of the night.

09/14/23 Cash App is unable to refund my money and my bank said they can't count it as fraud because I willingly sent the money over.

Thank you for your post! I just received this email today and, in questioning the validity, did a search of the email address with your post coming up as the most visited. I have just one question: on 9/13 you deposited $2500 to your bank account and then Cashapp'd $995 ... does that mean you still have the $1505 difference or does the scammer somehow bounce their first check? Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing back!

Received information for a remote job with Gryphon Bio via email “company [email protected] and said they received my email through Careers in Government Job Board. I should contact Dr Henry Lowman via Microsoft. teams for interview. Once this was completed I was to receive and deposit a check for equipment for this remote job. Check arrived via United States postal from Central Square Packing in Greensboro NC. Check was from Suncoast Credit Union with no address or phone number. A name on check was from Lori Kraycik in Naples Florida. An instruction sheet was included to send deposited check slip to John Lewis at [email protected]. I did not deposit check and began searching for scams, finding this information. A very intense scam it is and I have all documentation still.

I was sent a letter and a cashiers check and was told to deposit it into my bank and do a product review. I am attaching the envelop, letter, and a copy of the cashiers check. I had not hear anything for about a month or so from when I had first registered so I did not think I was picked to be apart of the product testers and never got a confirmation email. I was quite surprised when I got this, so I asked the teller at the bank if this was a good check and she said that it looks to be good. I was quite surprised later in the day to get a call from my bank and was being questioned about if I came down o the bank and deposited a check. I told the representative that I did, and she told me that it turned out that the check was bad, and that my accounts are being closed because of this. The next business day I went down to try and talk to a manger about this, and explained what had happened. The manager then put in an escalation complaint, and now i am waiting to hear back about it.

I excepted a job offer on LinkedIn in which the individual only contacted over text they asked me to deposit a check for a large amounts into my personal bank account, which turned out to be fraudulent. They were reluctant to give me any information about them or their business they offered pay along with bonuses for the job and claimed their business was in Texas. They did not have a website nor a LinkedIn, or any other presence online.
