Total money lost $1,520
Type of a scam Employment
On the day of the orientation, she said that I needed to pay that money I deposited to an Engineer Maria and Engineer Elizabeth, so that I could download the assistive learning systems for the internship. It was not my money so I willingly sent each amount she said to those two people. For Elizabeth, I Zelled $500 to the email [email protected]. For Maria, I sent Apple Cash of $420 to the phone number (346)492-2895. That amount added up to $920 so it was under the amount of the check, plus Anderson said she would reimburse the costs of buying the checks to me. It was going fine, and Anderson took time from talking to converse with "the Coordinator". After those transactions, she said that they were going to download the orientation link for me. However, she said that there actually was not enough funds for that download, so she spoke with their "sponsors" and were able to come up with more money. I was then sent an e check of $1,720.19 and deposited it into my bank account. The bank said the check deposit would be delayed until June 18.
I told Anderson that information and she said we needed funds to continue with the orientation. She said that the coordinator asked how much funds I would be willing to offer, and I said $600. I was going to send that amount to Maria but the transfer was not going through. I told Anderson the issue, and she stated that the coordinator said an Apple Card would be acceptable. I was concerned by that and asked what it was for, but she said that she would guide me once I got it. I was naive, and I went to the Apple store to purchase a $500 gift card with my credit card. I sent the card information to Anderson and she waited on the downloading of the assistive tools. She then said they needed another $100 to complete the download, and I foolishly sent that money on Apple Cash. After I sent that amount I realized how much did not seem right and I realized that this internship was unorthodox. Afterwards, I kept telling Anderson that I wanted no part in this "internship" anymore and that I wanted the $600 I spent back. For the next day, she continued to ask for another $100, and I would respond that I only want my money back. I tried to guilt her and I was being firm that I did not want to spend any more money, I just wanted the money I spent back.
At this point, everything clearly was a scam and I was too blind to see that. I told my dad about the situation; he was angry and concerned because I was a victim to this fraud. He said that accepting checks into my personal account is dangerous, and this could have been counted as check fraud. I honestly did not think that depositing a check could be so dangerous. The most recent check of $1720.19 is still on hold, but I will call my bank and see if I could cancel that check completely. I'm not sure what to do, I just don't want to get in trouble with the police and I don't want anyone else to fall victim.
