Description
A professor from Spelman College sent out an email about a job listing. I looked at the listing and it discussed having a decal placed on your car about the Tokyo 2021 Olympics being canceled. They sent me various emails about the company, then mailed me a check for 2500 from Georgia united credit union. I took the check to GUCU because I suspected this was a scam and sure enough, the check was fraudulent. They've collected the check, but I'm filing the info that I do have. They only have my current residency, first and last name, college, and car make and model.
