At the start of the pandemic I was looking for another work from home job. I came across an ad on indeed (It has since been taken down). I was then contacted and asked to apply on their website. I should have known then something wasn’t right. On the website they ask you who your bank is claiming it is just to make sure it is on their payroll. Anyway, later that day I had a “phone interview” with a foreign sounding (African/Nigerian) where I was asked legitimate interview questions and told they would text me with a decision. Later that night they texted me and said I had gotten the job and I’ll receive an email with my first assignment. The email comes in late like at 11 pm the next day but I’d already received notification that a package was in the way to me via ups which was suspicious. That package was supposed to be a check from one of the “buyers” of the artwork as well as have a cut in it for me as payment. I was told to deposit it in my account and send it to them through Zelle. There were so many things not adding up though. The check was sent from California but it had a Texas address on the actual check and the name of some random company. And the phone number for the zelle account was linked to a person named Obukowho.

They were extremely pushy about me depositing it and I honestly was too afraid to say no be side they knew my address from the “application”. Because of how pushy they were, how poorly written their emails and texts were I had a weird and unsettling feeling about everything. I opened a brand new account with a completely separate bank from the one I use. I deposited the check into that account. Nothing was available right away. I had to wait a day before the bank released $200. Again they were pushy and rude telling me to keep checking. I wish I hadn’t sent the money. But when the $200 was released I did send it get them off my back. They were still asking about the rest of the funds and that is when I knew for sure it was a scam. I’d already decided I wouldn’t send them anything else even if the bank cleared the rest of the check. And lo and behold the check bounces and I inform them of this telling them my account was overdrawn and I was charged $12 for this. I requested them to send the $212 back. They said I would have a refund by the end of the night. They did not. They blocked my number on everything. And stopped responding to emails. This happened at the beginning of the year. I reported to the bank (no help what do ever because I was tricked into sending the money so to them that means I knew what I was doing). I reported to the ic3 (haven’t heard anything). Today I looked to see if the website was still live (it is) and I came across a similar story someone reported on here.

This person posed as an Art Gallery business. Sent me two false checks and had me send money orders worth $1500 to people. Checks bounced after a week.
