Description
I applied on job websites and got a text supposedly offering a possible employment with Unipart Group of Companies. So I looked up the website and it was a legit website so I said I take a job interview. The job interview was over google "hangouts" because it is a international company. So I passed the interview I said I take it the position of Customer Representative. They sent through the "Accounting Chief" the check of 4500$. Well I scanned it through mobile app. Then they said this check is for my training materials, i.e. computer, programs, printer, etc. But I had to send two money orders of 1,000 each. Well I found out after I talked to a friend and called the number that is was a scam because the real company does not do work from home jobs. So now the bank thinks I gave out bad checks and now I have to pay almost 3000$ back to the bank. But the police are notified and are now working on the case. But I have to pay the 3000$ back. Please do not accept this job. I have 3 kids, moving, and recently got out of the military, and car payment to pay and now have to chip away to this major debt.
