Fake Job Offer

Paid to apply, paid for equipment, or check overpayment

Let's get this done

1Never pay to get paid. Real employers don't charge for equipment or training.
2Deposited a check? Don't spend it. Fake checks clear in a day and bounce weeks later, and the bank takes it back from you. How the FTC says to spot one.
3Report it once. ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
