job from “LinkedIn”
I received an email from Jonathan Feather, a real employee of Southeast Psych, about a position I applied for on LinkedIn being filled but an opportunity arising for a personal assistant position being opened for Peter Storey, someone on the board of directors for Southeast Psych. I went on to send my resume to [email protected] and we exchanged multiple emails back and forth about the position and its responsibilities. He sent me an offer letter and I said I would review it as I had another job opportunity that I had physically interviewed for and I needed time to decide which was the better opportunity. After much consideration and talking to my family and having multiple eyes look at the offer letter which did have a proper letter head from Southeast Psych, I went ahead and accepted the job offer with “Peter” and turned down the other offer. Big regret.
After accepting the job I received an email from him with his phone number asking me to text him my number and provide my mailing address so I can get a check in the mail to go purchase toys for the less fortunate. Again, didn’t think anything was fishy considering he was sending ME money, not the other way around. I gave him my address and he responded saying I would receive a fedex tracking number no later than Wednesday for the check. Wednesday no check showed up and I got no email or text correspondence about it. Thursday-Sunday was also radio silence. Monday was 7 days that I hadn’t heard from him and 7 days since I turned down the job opportunity I had and I was starting to really feel like I had made a mistake. I was on the phone with a friend when I received an email from “Peter” saying he was so sorry that he ghosted me and that he had been in the hospital with the flu. He put the tracking number for the check from FedEx and said to message him once it arrived. Upon completion of reading the email my doorbell rang and it was FedEx with an envelope with the check inside. I responded to the email with frustration in my tone because I hadn’t been properly communicated with and told him that I received the check but I was proceeding with caution because if he could not message me for a week, what kind of communication would we have as a “team” going forward. He responded apologetically that he understood my frustrations and “ communication is key” ensuring me that It wouldn’t happen again. He instructed me to deposit the check and let him know how much time it would take for it to clear. So I thought, whatever I’ll do this and then if it goes smoothly then this will be my tell tale sign that this wasn’t a mistake or a regret. Once I deposited it I received an email it could be 2-5 business days. It cleared within 2 business days and I sent him a text for further guidance. He said the person in charge of donations wanted a monetary donation instead because purchasing and mailing toys would be too much of a hassle. He then asked if I could Zelle back the check instead of going to the bank and printing a new one. I received a email address of [email protected] as the person to send the money to and went ahead and Zelled $1,500 of the $3,475 funds I received. The plan was to Zelle the money back in increments since Zelle won’t let you send more than $1,500 a day. Well. The following day when I was woken up to multiple texts from “Peter” who I’m assuming was going to ask if I would send the next $1500 deposit, I had an email from my bank that a large transaction was detected and $3,475 was withdrawn from my account. The entirety of the check had disappeared. I responded to “Peter” asking if he had a few minutes to speak over the phone. We talked for a few minutes and I told him the check must have bounced and now I’m down $1500 and I need my money back. He sounded shocked that the check was gone and told me he was going to call the bank and get back to me shortly. He neither called nor texted me again. I called him and got no answer just a voicemail box. And then I called Southeast Psych in NC and spoke to the receptionist who told me LinkedIn was hacked and any job offers for remote assistants are scams and advised me to call the Police. I followed up the call with one to Penn Community Bank where the check was cut and the Member representative told me that the account was compromised and the check is a fraud. I then called my bank in one last stitch effort to see if I can get my funds returned and they said unfortunately since it was a person to person transfer, the money cannot be refunded and I need to file a law suit… not sure where to go from here because I am officially worse off then I started when I was job hunting and struggling for money and now I’m jobless and down $1,500.. if you read this far, don’t be like me. All job opportunities coming from LinkedIn need to be THOROUGHLY vetted and DO your research. I thought I did enough but not once did this site come up. Not until it was too late. Gonna go cry into a bowl of ice cream now.

After emailing once, I was offered the position without any phone call or interview. He asked for my address and said he would be sending a check to my house to purchase gifts for some charity in Canada.
