Report

??I recently applied for a remote proofreading job via LinkedIn with Insight Global. I was contacted via email by Alex Crowford ([email protected]) on 8/31/22 to find out my availability for an interview. I was interviewed via Skype later that same day by Marlon Gorden +1 (949) 385-0783 who advised me that I was hired after sending my interview answers to the review team. I completed a 1099 with my name and address and signed a contract. I was then advised I needed to have a check sent to me which I would sign and deposit to my account, then use the funds toward a workstation needed for the job and pay a vendor with it. The $3,000 check from Insight Global from the Santa Cruz County Bank showed as available in my personal checking account on 9/3/22 so I relied on the bank seeing that the funds were available and thought they could be used. I was asked by the vendor, Kimberly Nicole: (949) 385 -0783, to make payments in increments to equal the $3,000. Two were made through Zelle in the amount of $500 each to Jeffery Kadrlik (715-360-0176), then one through Venmo in the amount of $1,000 to Jessica Holbrook (@Jessica-Holbrook-46), all equaling $2,000. I knew the money from the $3,000 check was not my own, but I thought I could pay the remainder of what was due to the vendor from the check and still have the existing funds that were already in my account. This was all over Labor Day weekend. I received a call from Jeff Bitler at First Commonwealth Bank in Danville, PA on 9/6/22 advising me the check was fraudulent and there was a hold placed on the check. In the meantime, my balance had gone in the negative and I was and still am out $2,000. I was advised by my bank not to communicate with any of the individuals involved and to file a police report, which I have done with the PA State Police in Selinsgrove, PA on 9/7/22, Case #PA22-1158739. I have since received correspondence from Alex and Kimberly about sending the rest of the funds and the workstation to be shipped to my home address. I have not responded. I have all of the correspondence via Skype, email, and texts I am happy to forward. I did share this information with the bank. I also shared it with the PA PA Attorney General’s Office, {Matter No.[BCP-22-05-025071]. A complaint was filed with the FTC, Report Number 151722203, and the IC3. In the midst of trying to earn some additional income during some hard times, I failed to recognize the signs of a scam. And I got caught up in a weak moment because August 31 was my late grandmother’s birthday and took my new hire as a good sign. My wife and I are a one income household and she is disabled. I’m trying to do what I could to make ends meet right now. This really hurt us. The whole situation has us very upset and makes me especially feel like a failure. My bank filed a dispute with Zelle for the $1,000 that I lost. They cannot assist with the Venmo, however, for the additional the $1,000 that I lost. The check given to me was flagged by my bank and I had been charged a $15 handling fee. I made the mistake of thinking the funds had already been available. I am out $2,000, not Insight Global (if that is even who they truly are). I will not be working for this company so I would also like for my information to be shredded. I realize this has all been a big mistake. I need as much help as I can get in having this issue resolved. I did try to give a heads up to Zelle and Venmo, but they cannot release details to me due to their privacy policy. Venmo did state that the local authorities could submit any requests by contacting them and they would happily cooperate with the investigation. I certainly don’t want to see what happened to me done to anyone else. Any help with this matter or additional resources would be much appreciated. Thank you.
