The money I didn't keep was sent through CashApp, to help the scammer's "relative in another state." The scammer also told me that they didn't use 3rd party apps, so I thought I could help them. The scammer had a person by the name of "Keith C. Hoard." After "transferring" the first couple of hundred, I was able to keep a portion of the money. Then, I was given the second check to transfer more money. At this point, I began to become suspicious and decided to call the whole thing off. The scammer told me that I had to transfer the rest of the $1500 I was sent or get in serious trouble. I did so, still thinking that the money I received was real. I was also told to transfer $2000 the next day. The next day, however, the checks I was given bounced, and I had to cover the fee and pay the bank the 1500 and 2000. I recognized the scam before I did anything with the $2000 I was given, so no harm was done there, but because I "transferred" the $1500, I had to pay all of that back. In the end, the scammer got $1500, I lost $1500, and they blocked me from all forms of contacting them. However, I acquired information on who "Keith C. Hoard" is through Instagram. After multiple attempts, I never got an answer.
From there, me and this so called Dr. Menn went back and forth about the detail of the job, and how she Dr Karen Menn, needed a driver and she will pay me $960.00 a wk. There is more detail, but I'll get to the point, she then explained, how she will send me a check for $4,860.00 and I was to take my pay for the week of $960.00, and the rest would have to be giving to whomever she will rent the car from. She also ask me to mail out some FEDEX and UPS packages for her while she was in meetings. By then she had my information and sent me the FRAUDULENT check from ***** ***** ********** the following day.
Everything started to click in my brain and then realized this was a scam, I reported this information to Indeed and now to BBB.
Then she responds that she is OK with the cost and would send me a check by mail. So, I gave her my mailing address (which was a bad move on my part). She then sent an e-mail saying that she sent the payment (but I haven't received it yet) and that she made a "mistake" with the total payment -- which was a LOT more than the deposit amount I mentioned to her. She said that this total payment was actually for the "wedding event planner", not for me. She then instructed that when I receive the check to deposit it to my bank, take the amount I need for her makeup service deposit, and she will give me the information when the check has cleared on where to send the rest of the funds to. I told her I never got anything in the mail.
I thought this was already odd, so I thought that I should speak to her to give me a peace of mind and found out that it is a Google Voice Number -- now, I am really suspicious. I requested she should call me so we can talk about it. Instead of calling me like I requested, she texted me with a tracking number that she sent the check through via USPS and to let her know when I received it, which I did let her know. She texted back instructing me to deposit it, when it clears to let her know and she will give me information who to send it to, which is supposed to be the "event planner" -
Again I called her to tell her I wanted to speak to her about this check. She texted back with this: "I told you that I can only be reached via mail or text message as am at the moment on a work site and would implore you to feel free to text me if you have any question. Thanks." Mind that she had mentioned this "work site" a couple weeks before and I was calling her after business hours already.
After this text message, I already knew this was not good. I started researching online and found that there were other people who were scammed, same type of check with the same routing number, coming from same address from Atlanta (via USPS envelope, and also the same Citibank address on the counterfeit check. I won't be responding to any of her messages anymore after this.
I hope this report is helpful to others.

I confirmed with the SBA that this in fact is a scam before posting it here.
