I was hired for a job, I done my interview in google hangouts. They hiring manager says his company is based out of the UK and this job will be work from home. He says he's gonna send me a check via fedx in which I deposit into my account and use only the company they have been using for Years to purchase my supplies.......advice please???

Go to Google and check them out. I got suckered in on one of these and it turned out to be fraud. Be very careful. The funds they sent me turned out to be no good and caused me to loose my bank account. The bank closed my account.

Hi Shaqwana, the other commenter is totally right. This reeks of a scam. I recommend you cut off all contact with these people because any company that wants to send you a check for work you haven't even done is likely targeting you for a fake check scam. You can read more about fake check scams here: http://www.fraud.org/fake_check_scams

The bottom line here is not so much that you might get in trouble, but more that you might lose a lot of money. Do not accept any check like that!
