Scammer's address Three Technology Drive, Milpitas, CA 95035, USA

Victim Location ON L9C 6G1, CAN
Type of a scam Employment
1. Initial Job Application and Legitimacy of the Setup
I applied for a job posting listed on LinkedIn for a position with KLA Corporation.
Shortly after, I was contacted by someone impersonating a KLA employee named Catherine Duong, who informed me I had been shortlisted and scheduled a Zoom interview.
While certain things felt slightly off, the job posting on LinkedIn, the emails appearing to come from KLA domain addresses, and the fact that I interacted with names of actual KLA employees made it all seem legitimate.
2. Interview Stage and Offer Letter
I attended the Zoom interview, where I spoke with an individual introduced as Hester, another supposed KLA representative.
The day following the interview, I received an official-looking offer letter from someone posing as ***** ****, an actual employee at KLA (whom I later discovered had been impersonated).
Believing this to be a genuine offer, I accepted the position.
3. Onboarding Process and Account Setup
I was directed to log in to a legitimate marketing automation platform, Bitrix, which further reinforced the impression of a genuine onboarding process.
Through Bitrix, I was introduced to a person named Sam Nowak, who advised me to order home office equipment from a company called "Tech Insights" as part of my setup for the role.
4. Receiving an Invoice and Check
I received an invoice for the equipment order from Tech Insights and shared it with Sam Nowak.
Sam explained that I would receive a check from "management" to cover the equipment costs, as I would need to be equipped for my duties.
Shortly after, I received an email from "Laura Wise" containing the check and instructions to deposit it and provide proof of the deposit.
5. Deposit and Realization of the Scam
I deposited the check and was instructed to proceed with the equipment payment based on the Tech Insights invoice.
However, I began to have suspicions about the legitimacy of the arrangement and realized it could be a scam.
I tried to cancel the check deposit through the Scotia Bank app but could not locate an option to do so. I also attempted to reach customer support, but long wait times prevented me from speaking to anyone in time.
6. Intent and Understanding
I had no intention of using any funds from the deposit for personal gain. My understanding was that the check funds were strictly for the equipment purchase, which I believed was a legitimate part of my job role.
Upon realizing the scam, I stopped all further actions and sought ways to report the incident.
Could you please guide me on reporting this fraudulent incident? I am ready to provide any further information needed to support your investigation.
Thank you for your understanding and assistance.
