Description

He offered me a job working from home for Kreate Group (a real business based in Finland) and sent me a $5000.80 check to buy office supplies from his vendor. He went through the interview process via Microsoft Teams, sending me a link to their legitimate website and sent me the check overnight via FedEx. I decided to cash it at Wells Fargo, the bank on the check, instead of depositing it, and the account was closed. He claimed to be in Jackson, MS, but the account was from the Wells Fargo in Calabasas, California. The business name on the check is Ramtox at 23945 Calabasas Rd Ste 218 in Calabasas, California 91302. The FedEx envelope has the address as 86 Chestnut St Ste 1 in New Haven, CT 06511. Had I deposited and spent the money, I would have owed my bank the lost money.
