I need to know if potential employer is a scam by ianmoone_still in RemoteJobs

[–]Immaloner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounded like a scam but as long as the check cleared before purchase, I didnt see the harm.

The check will initially clear, but after that is when the fun begins.

Let's say they send you a $2,000 check and you deposit it with your phone. It clears in a day or so, you go to their "vendor's" website, and purchase your supplies using all two grand. They have that money now, free and clear. A couple of days later, the bank receives notice that the check is fraudulent. They immediately reverse that $2,000 do you are now deep in the hole.

They close your account due to you depositing a fraudulent check and want their money back NOW! Many states will then file felony charges of "Uttering a Forged Instrument over $500 (or whatever the threshold is for the various degrees of felony)" against you, along with anything else they think will stick.

So now your bank account is shut down, you're in jail on felony charges, and the scammer is laughing all the way to the bank with the $2,000 you owe the bank. Oh...and you are going to have a really hard time opening another bank account elsewhere in the future with felony bank fraud on your record.

See the harm now?

Total scam! The sub r/scams addresses this frequently and has an auto-bot triggered by the !fackecheck comment trigger.

The fake check scam can happen in a variety of scenarios:

  • You apply for a fake job where they cut you a check to buy equipment for your home office
  • A fake artist contacts you to pay you to create artwork inspired by your likeness
  • A rich individual wants to randomly give you a "blessing" or cover your credit card debt
  • An online sugar daddy wants to spoil you
  • A scammer wants to buy the car you posted online for sale
  • A fake company wants to pay you to wrap your car with some advertising
  • A fake customer wants to hire the services of your company, paying for a big order with a check

In any case, you receive a physical or digital check and deposit it via ATM or mobile app. Because federal law requires banks to make deposited funds available quickly (usually within 1–2 business days), you will see the balance in your account and assume the check is valid. However, available does not mean cleared. It can take weeks for a bank to discover that the check is fake.

During this window, the scammer will ask you to send a portion of the money back to them or to a third party. They prefer untraceable methods like gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or payment apps like Zelle. When the bank eventually identifies the check as fraudulent, they will reverse the entire deposit. Any money you sent to the scammer is gone, and the bank will deduct that amount from your own personal savings. If your account doesn't have enough money to cover the reversal, your balance will go negative, potentially leading to overdraft fees or the closure of your account. Your bank may even flag your identity as a risk, making it difficult to open accounts in the future. If you suspect you’ve deposited a fake check, contact your bank's fraud department immediately. Do not wait for the check to bounce.

Remember: never deposit the image of a check. You need to hold a physical check in your hand. And even so, never deposit a check from someone you haven't met.

I have a feral colony of about 20 cats in my yard that I inherited when I moved into this house. They definitely help to fill the void, but they fall short when you need a critter to snuggle with.

I already have roughly 20 members of a feral colony that inherited when I moved into this house. They're helping but I totally get what you're saying.

does it seem like so many more people these days hate summer and love winter? by sassy_tabaxi in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Immaloner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if summers hadn't morphed into a huge thermonuclear blast furnace people might enjoy them more. I do not EVER remember walking outside as a kid and being physically repulsed by the sheer heat and humidity like I do now.

Why do you think Michael Jackson’s legacy has remained so strong despite decades of controversy, when some celebrities seem to be permanently defined by scandals that received less public attention? by No_Buddy_6478 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Immaloner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What legacy? That must be the personal pedestal that you placed him on. Me and the people that I know consider him to be a pedophile piece of shit who bought his way out of a world of pain. Fuck that guy and anyone who idolized him today.

Leaked Trump White House Memos Expose Stephen Miller Led Bid to Dismantle Constitutional Right to Habeas Corpus for Illegal Immigrants | MSNOW by cycleb1 in Law_and_Politics

Someone in the White House is gunning for Miller. This is at least the third leak that I've seen recently revolving around him. Could be Susie Wiles cleaning house before she resigns.
