Description

The scammer was listed on UpWork.com as a publisher hiring for beta readers. They extended me an offer of $30/hour plus a mac book pro and HP printer. They emailed me a check, said to print it, upload it to my bank, and then send a screen shot of the deposit. I did not do this, because I am not going to send someone my bank information. I lied and said my bank wouldnt accept the check. I asked them to explain the purpose of them sending me the money when the new device wouldnt have their software. They are no longer answering my questions.
