Description

I came across this scammer on LinkedIn. I applied for an internship for Data Analytics. I interviewed over the Wire app and was sent documents for my account number and routing number so I could receive direct deposit. I was instructed to contact a new manager. This person sent me money for my equipment I would need. Sent me checks which I was instructed to deposit and transfer the money via cash app or Zelle. My bank caught wind of this and stopped my account after I had sent the money. Now I'm out all of that money out of my own pocket.
