Scam Description
I was emailed and told my information was found on linkedin and was offered an interview for a job. It was a full remote job where they would supply the equipment used. I was asked to take some assessment with an essay answer in a specific format. I was then sent a check over email and given instructions on printing it and mobile depositing it. The check was for $4,199 to set up my office as well as promised funds for my assessment. The check turned out to be counterfeit and froze my account.
