Total money lost $4,950
Type of a scam Employment
January 13, 2023. I was told that I would be working from home for Wavin B.V. as a Data Entry Clerk in the Data Science department.
The email said that I would be paid $15 an hour for training and advance to $35 an hour after training. Over the next few days, I did
training tasks and sent them back to him via email. Most of this communication about the money was over the social network called Zoom. On January 18,
2023, I was issued a check for $4,950 to purchase company equipment for my potential new job. The check was sent to my house
via FedEx. The tracking number for this package is 393522830513. After I deposited the check, Frank told me to keep $350 as a sign
on bonus. He then claimed that he has a vendor who purchases the equipment for employees and that I had to Zelle the vendor
$1,000 for the purchase of that equipment. He gave me someone's information and told them to Zelle them that money that was
given to me by the company. Frank claimed the person was named Nathan Bertino and that his email address was
[email protected]. He then told me to send a photo of the transaction for verification purposes. Then, Frank has me go
withdraw the rest of the cash worth $3,600 and purchase Bitcoin to send the rest of the money due to my limit with Zelle. When that
did not work, Frank made me buy $3,600 worth of Apple Gift cards for the rest of the money and send him photos of those cards for
him to send to the accounting department. This company is legitimate, but, the person was posing as a hiring manager trying to scam
me or a company out of money. I wound up getting nothing out of this job offer.
