Type of a scam Employment
As for me the people that contacted me are Liora Wright (supposed Riot Games Hiring Department) and Honora Joseph (supposed Onboarding Supervisor) respectively. Initially, Liora Wright contacted via email claiming there was an immediate opening for a Full-Time Remote Illustrator position that offered a $95,493.00 annual salary. They sent me a "Screening Test/Interview Questions for Riot Games Illustrator (Remote) Position" PDF document in one of the emails that I filled out with personal information (Full name, home address, phone number, email, and job related-question akin to interviews) and another PDF document that was labeled "Riot Games Employment Contract" which I signed with my signature and dated—I emailed both of these documents back to Liora's email ([email protected]). They emailed me about 4 to 5 times before they told me a designated representative would contact me and sometime after reading this email, I received a text message from +1 (845) 953-0110. I asked for their name, and they claimed to be someone named Honora Joseph, Riot Games's Onboarding Supervisor. They ask for the bank I used which was Navy Federal Credit Union and Honora sent me a text message and Liora sent me an email—both attached to their respective messages—having a PDF document a check for $4,873.00 meant to be deposited in my bank account with instructions as to how to go about depositing the check. I attempted to deposit the check and sent them a screenshot of the confirmation screen for the $4,873.00 having been deposited into my savings and I informed them that my bank had confirmed it went through, but then my bank emailed me saying the deposit was denied for it was an "unacceptable item". I checked my bank app on my iPhone to see what was going on and the deposit menu was made unavailable for me after that. This led me to contact customer support for my bank and they said something about needing to mail it in, walk it in, or find an ATM to deposit the check—mind you this was before I was made aware of the scam. I informed Honora via text message that the check was denied, and they asked if NFCU was my only bank which I answered confirming this to be true.
After all this, I went to ask my parents for assistance with cashing the check since it was to be deposited and shown proof of confirmation before the end of the workday which led to them revealing to me that the router number (00023292 065400153 0061500759) on the check was all wrong as well as the bank noted on the check (Whitney Bank) not existing despite looking legitimate on first glance—the authorized signature had the name "Dylan Jadeja" signed on it with a slightly low resolution. This led to further researching information about scammers going around promising employment opportunities with Riot Games, Inc. This led me to filling out a report to the FTC which I had submitted a few minutes before this one. I would also like to express my concern for the company Riot Games, Inc. as they are being affected greatly by this scam as well since some unknown third-party is using their name to commit a crime while also getting peoples' hopes up. As far as I am concerned, I haven't lost any money, though I believe my security and information have been compromised to some degree.
This happened over a few days from Thursday, June 6th, 2024, up to Wednesday, June 12th, 2024—6 days. There are more details and I still have the emails, documents, and messages if I must go so far as to submit them upon request.
