I fell for a job board scam until the part where they told me to buy bitcoin with the money. They presented the job as an administrative assistant/errand runner role, so I figured I'd be buying groceries and stuff, so I deposited the check they emailed me. This morning they emailed me to buy BTC, which is obviously a scam. I went to the bank and they gave me a number to call (risk dept).
I called them and explained my situation. The person said to withdraw the money I had put in and leave the amount of the check there and wait until it bounces. I've seen other posts and none really say this; will this have any negative effects on my account once the check bounces?
Edit: weirdly, the check bounced and nothing else happened. I was expecting some kind of warning or communication, but nope — I checked my account and it was gone. Account isn't closed or frozen or anything either, and I never withdrew anything like they told me to. 🤷♂️ I'll consider myself lucky and not be stupid again.
