Fake AT&T Job Offer and Bad E-check

A bbb report about a phishing scam that cost someone $1970.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Contacted by Stacey Jordan from AT&T about a job as customer service representative. Asked to fill out forms (application and questions). Emailed back after a few days stating I got the position and asked to fill out a contract to accept the position and another form for what bank I used (did not ask for account number). They then proceeded to send an echeck to be deposited as a partial payment for equipment needed. I deposited the check in good faith. Contacted by my bank 2 days later and told the check is no good (the credit union on the check could not be verified).
