[email protected]”. As the message instructed I reached out via email and then received a long email back stating the job description and next steps to take, only the job I was being hired for was a remote administrative assistant booking conferences, booking flights, and booking hotels for employees of theirs that will be traveling. The pay would be $400 a week, only working 5-7 hours a week, and I would make and additional $30 for ever hour spent over that 5-7 hours. I was told this remote administrative assistant position required a printer and licensed application software. A paycheck of $2950 would be sent to me which would cover: my first week pay of $400, The money for the printer, and the money for licensed application software. I have my address & phone number and was told I would be informed when the check was sent to me and I would have the tracking number to keep up with the check as well. I sent the initial email on 12/07/2020 & did not receive and email back until 01/11/2021. I sent an email on 01/16/2021 to ask for further instruction on how to process the check, if the tracking number was available, etc. I then received an email on 01/22/2021 stating that his step mother had fallen ill and needed an emergency surgery, my start date had been changed, and also the job position was stated as a virtual assistant. I reached out on January 31, 2021 and February 4, 2021 to see what was going on with the check and also the job since my start date had been moved to February 1st. I received a check in the mail, sent from Reforma Films in New York on February 22, 2021. I emailed to tell him I had received the check and then got a very quick text message from a 708 area code. The text message stated that he had lost him step mother but that the check had been mailed to me, this is after I had notified him of receiving the check via mail. The text message had multiple misspelled words and unprofessional lingo. The scammer was very pushy on getting the check deposited into my account so I could start work immediately. I informed them I was currently at my full time job and could not go to the bank, but they insisted I deposit it through my mobile banking and send them a screenshot of the transaction. I asked for the email of the person I should be contacting about my equipment so I could get it set up MYSELF, I was told do not worry about that right now we will take it all one step at a time. I started asking questions about purchasing the equipment without using the checks he sent because I had funds available, I asked if I could use a Visa Gift Card to purchase the items, and he soon became silent. I took the check to my bank and they looked it up in their system and it sent back a notification that cashing this check would be a fraud risk.
