Scam Description
The scammer sent a text message that informed me that they were looking for a personal assistant to help with the business in the US due to constant travel and business meetings with several charities. They sent me a fraudulent check for $2800 to deposit it in my bank account via ATM or mobile deposit and then take a picture of the deposit receipt. After it was supposed to be cleared I was to take out a payment of $670 for me and take the rest of it and send it to an unspecified orphanage. The orphanage was to named after the check cleared.
