Scam Description
I accepted and offer for a position and I have a check to purchase equipment with but the company wants me to deposit into my checking account. I tried to Zoom video chat and the person decline the call. I do not want to put the money into a checking account and have it bounce. I called the bank that the check is off of and they refuse to verify it the funds are there. I do not want to open and checking account and then purchase the equipment to have the money get refused after everything has been purchase for the position.
