I have recently been offered a customer service position with https://datacentrespeak.com/who-we-are/ ...I was sent a check for $1,850.00 to purchase office supplies & software for the role. I am skeptical of this offer, because of the possibility of the check being fake & being responsible to pay the amount back to my bank. I am calling the Bank that the check is issued by to verify the check number, but I have to wait 12 hours for them to open. Open to suggestions, thanks in advance! #scams #advice #workfromhome

@Mark Chavez You can wait to verify with the bank or check with the BBB if they are legit. Most companies have social media so there are multiple ways to verify their legitimacy.

Scam... check looks hella legit though!! But, ya' I asked bank teller if the check was legit before I proceeded. Amazingly... they let me keep the check... memories.

If your bank has a physical branch in your area, I would take it to a teller and ask them to verify the check before depositing it. Give them some story like the company has bounced payroll checks on you before. You can usually pull up the bank name on the check and verify the routing number is valid as well online.

Definitely a scam ! Anytime they ask you to deposit a check it’s a scam.

Its a scam that has been around and written about for ages. Btw, the check they sent you is from a software program that allows people to use their demo version. .

Don't do it! One of my relatives went through this he actually purchased the equipment and the people came to his house to claim it. He ended up calling the police and the people were arrested but found himself in a sticky situation with the bank for sometime.

I see nothing on their website about careers or employment. 🕵🏻‍♂️ if you are skeptical about the check send it back
