Scams everywhere
I too was almost scammed by 3 on-line scam artists, all working together. They want you to interact with them in 'Hangouts'. They mailed a check to me for $1650, which I I shredded. The check looked authentic, from Citifinancial. They represented themselves as workers for a medical company in PA. I reported them to said company, but never heard anything back.
It's sad when all we want is a legitimate job, not being scammed.
Hi Maria! I understand, that is SUPER frustrating. It's a horrible reality that job scams are incredibly common right now. I'm very relieved you didn't fall for it!
You've got a great head on your shoulders, but if you'd like any more information on how to stay safe from scams, there's a great article from the FTC about it: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0060-10-things-you-can-do-avoid-fraud
Also if you have any questions about opportunities in the future you can always email me at askemily@jobcase.com and I'll help you figure it out!
It is so sad that innocent people are getting scammed because they are trying to find a job. Be careful out there
