Here's the invite PDF. Did yours look something like this?

I'm not any kind of government or financial body, but I should point out that I tried to get in touch with this James Higgins for a job opening on Upload. Like you, the phone number is 320-270-1098 and the Telegram username is @Mr_Higgins1. In my case, I was unable to even sign up on Telegram (I had no mobile phone reception), but I did try to get in touch with him (to explain my situation). I never got a reply, even six hours later. Having read your message, I'm beginning to suspect that this "employer" isn't who he says he is.

- Feasterville Trevose, PA, USA

Hello- I was the victim of an employment scam. Initially I had applied for a freelance internal auditor position off of the Upwork Platform. I had received a message from Nikki B menitoning to contact James Higgins via the Telegram Mobile App. James was the HR and Materials Quality Control Manager. I had downloaded the app and proceeded through the interviews. The interview occurred on 4/27 and on 4/28, notified through the app that I had the job. I had received a formal offer letter from an email of [email protected] (via Crystal Clear design). The first offer letter was incorrect and had certain words making it appear it came from European. His phone number is 320-270-1098 and his user name was @Mr_Higgins1 on Telegram.

James then mentioned I would be issued a check for $1,950 in order to reimburse me for IT computer and materials. My start date was supposed to be Monday 5/3. This email came from [email protected], with instructions to mobile deposit. During the interview James asked me for my Bank that I bank with. I had printed, signed and deposited the check on 4/29. This check then cleared at Wells Fargo on 4/30. James then asked me, using Zelle to send $1,950 (one $1,000 transaction and then another $950 transaction) to INGRAMSPARK VENDOR. I had used Apple Pay for the transaction, given I was more familiar. The number for Ingramspark Vendor was 214-497-6398. James then further asked for another $1,000 and that is when i became suspicious. I looked up on Linked In and noticed he did not have a Linked In profile. I also did a Google Search and noticed that others experienced the same instance. On 5/4, I immediately filed a fraud complaint with Wells Fargo and issued me a provisional credit for $1,950. I also contacted IngramSpark through their online website, and they would not be willing to do anything.

Wells Fargo would not be willing to help me as the transaction took place on a Peer to Peer payment platform, which Apple Pay was, and that they did not dispute rights for chargebacks for P2P platforms. I contacted Apple Pay as well, and transferred to Green Dot, which services the Apple Pay platform. Apple Pay mentioned it was Wells Fargo's problem. I filed a police report with Northampton Township, PA police, and was referred to the PA Victim's Compensation Program by Officer Clifton. The officer said the probability of solving this was very low. They deemed me ineligible as I was under age of 60 and not receiving social security income. I even contacted my U.S. Senator and they mentioned that this was outside of the scope of what they do. I even mentioned to Wells Fargo that I would change banks, including speaking with multiple supervisors, and they would not help me.

I am completely at a loss and have exhausted every avenue. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of by Wells Fargo. I have tons of documentation, including screenshots, showing the back-up. Honestly, during a pandemic and recently losing my job, I feel like I'm being penalized by trying to support my family with two little girls. I am asking for help and for someone to do something, versus shrugging their shoulders or putting their head in the sand.
