Fraud ALERT
Hi, So I recently recieved an email from ( orientcomm@outlook.com) stating they seen my info from zip recruiter and wanted more info about me so of course no big deal didn't hear anything back for awhile and then I receive a FedEx package at my door then an email stating Hi I just sent you a package text me when you get it, So I open the package and it's a check for 4,980.00 from some random company and a note I quote : (Please kindly send a text only with your full name to Britni Lance on 551-666-4001 in order to authorize you to deposit the check, otherwise do not take this check to the bank as it will not be honored at the bank) So I sent an email back saying I wanted info about the job and where it was located and what my job duties would be and if she was the hiring manager and they reply ( I gave you an instruction over an hour ago and you didn't obey and now here you are asking stupid questions right? Did you deposit the check? ) this was clearly someone desperately looking for someone to prey onto but I just wanted to share this little experience with you all so please beware they definitely go to great lengths to try an deceive people I hope this helps ☺️
