Description

I was offered a job and was told that a check would be sent to purchase a home office. I received a check in the mail from Outdoor Pro Shop Inc. DBA, 412 Houser St, Cotati, CA 94931, and deposited it into my account. Next, to wire a transfer $5,970.00 minus the fees to Tekeisha Unique Jamison. The bank then calls and alerts me that the check is fake. I did buy an Apple gift card for $500.00 and sent the information to them. The bank did not release the funds for the transfer, but I lost the $500.00 for the gift card.
