I was looking for more job opportunities, and I came across the website for house sitting. This person named Lois sent me a message and I had replied thinking it was a normal lady. Our conversation went normal for a little then she paid me with an electronic check and told me I have to pay the painter $450. So I tried to do that and it turned into a whole thing because I don’t use cash app or anything like that. So she kept pushing me to somehow pay him and I did because she had already sent me the check and I thought it was a legit thing. Then she sends me another check and this time says I owe the painter $650. She did not tell me about this before. Now my bank account is locked and she is MIA. The name of the guy is John Briske. His cash app is @JBsfunacct. I did get a potential scam alert but I thought it was just because I hadn’t verified my information.
