I initially saw the company was looking for models for a fashion campaign for one of their clients named "Sihui Hongyun Footwear Supply Co". Because the listing had an email address to a domain it looked legitimate so I pitched to them through email. The contract and POC named "Stein Boris" seemed legitimate although it was strange and a red flag that they wanted to use a check to cover their amount due to me. They attempted to scam me for $2650 via requesting an e-check be deposited into the bank and used to cover the model booking for myself as a model ($800) and studio booking fee ($1850). It was odd that a client would ever send a deposit through requesting me to deposit a check on their behalf instead of sending an ACH, Zelle, or card payment. My suspicions were confirmed when my business bank returned the check for being "not authorized"It was odd that a client would ever send a deposit through requesting me to deposit a check on their behalf instead of sending an ACH, Zelle, or card payment.

A Ridley Cooper from Waters Edge Apartment sent me an email on July 27th about a work from home customer service job and he sent me a check so I could deposit it in my account but I’ve been through this before so I didn’t do it. I reported it to the US Postal inspection services. I knew it was a scam the moment I was hired without an interview and nobody ever called me! It comes from this phone number too 858-371-8951

Sorry for the delayed response as I'm glad to inform you that your first assignment would be delivered today or Monday through UPS.

The payment to be delivered includes your first week pay ($400) and the rest will be used for the purchase of some pre-designed artwork for the art gallery. I'll send you the list of the pre-designed artwork by Wednesday or Thursday week as it's still in evaluation process in order to note and ascertain the necessary pre-designed artwork needed. I'll be returning on the 30thth of June so we should be able to meet up for a proper interview two days later or whenever you are able to meet for interview after my arrival.

Once payment is received, proceed to your bank and have it DEPOSITED (deposit can be done via ATM or Bank Mobile App as well). The funds will be made available within 24 - 48 hours by your bank and email back as soon as you complete the deposit so that you can be fed with more details.
