SCAM
Henry Thomas is his name from Ottawa Canada he said he needed a cleaner got my resume off of ZipRecruiter which I applied for cleaning job I'm not even a cleaner but needed the work sent me a cashier's check for 1900 some odd dollars received it today told me to get cleaning supplies - my first week pay never heard from you again after I asked questions about why he sent me that much money without even meeting me but didn't try to do anything which I figured it was a scam it is really sad for these scumbags to try and scam people that are looking for work and are already struggling, scary thing is is I never gave him my address he took it off of my resume.

Steven,
These types of scams are very common. Never accept any checks with a request to "purchase required items" or "take out your own pay" as this is how these scammers claim victims. Especially, if the person who doesn't they are being scammed tries to cash/deposit the check. Most of the time, the bank will catch the fraud attempt and inform you. Scammers know people need jobs and money badly so they prey on the weak and elderly. This is a scam, so discard the check and move on. This experience will help you should this scam attempt happen again.
