Description

I was emailed my a person claiming that he worked for Valens a semiconductor company. He then sent me to talk with a HR representative through Microsoft teams, which is where the entire interview happened messages. I was hesitant to send any of my information due to it seeming skeptical so they agreed to still send me a check for $3,880 for office equipment that i would receive through one of their vendors. I called the bank that the check was issued through Azura credit union to verify that the check was legitimate and the bank said that it was. I deposited the check feeling that it was trustworthy. The next day i looked up the address that the check was sent from and realized there was no sender name on the packing slip so i googled the address that was on the slip and another scam that was committed popped up in my google search results stating close to the same events happened to them.
