I was approached about a remote job by ReCare Solutions, a company in Germany I was told was entering the US market. The company website was in German but the individual I dealt with said they were in Connecticut. After a lengthy interview on Teams messaging, I was told that I would be emailed an e check to purchase start up equipment of a Mac and company software. When I received the check it was not from the company I had been interviewing with. Instead, the check was from a truck dealership. I asked why the check was from a different business and they said they deal with many businesses and sometimes use refunds to reimburse others. (Huge red flag, not a legit accounting procedure) I researched the company on the check and contacted their accounting department. They confirmed that the account information was real but the check was fraudulent. Apparently, someone who had received a refund at some point used the information off the real check to create fake checks for the scam. I forwarded the fraudulent check to the company for them to inform their bank. Five minutes before I called to ask about the check, the Controller had received another call reporting the same thing. The scammer had asked me to deposit the check through my mobile app and send a screenshot confirming the deposit. If I had gone forward, I would have deposited a fake check (ultimately stealing money), handed over my own personal checking information through the screenshot, and ordered start up office equipment for the scammers with that stolen money because it was supposed to initially ship to them in order to install the necessary software. Scammers suck.
