- Complaint Type:
- Order Issues
- Status:
- Resolved
Date of transaction started on December 6, 2021, through a messaging app called Telegram. The Man I communicated with "*************************************, hiring manager to the firm BNY MELLON". Details of the job happened over a couple days, to where I was to receive an overnight check to purchase the computer equipment I would need to work from home. (I even had checked on this company on here THE BBB) and everything sounded legit. Until I received the check from ***** in December 9,2021. The check looked suspicious and "******************" was steadily messaging me about depositing it into my bank account. Luckily, I went down to my local bank and spoke to a banker and explained the situation and she calmly explained that the check was fake, the business name on it was fake and it didn't even have a watermark on the back. I kept all of the materials and documents that was sent/emailed to me for evidence just in case. BUT I was NOT scammed out of any moneys, just a waste of my time and job stability. Please remove this business from operating or scamming more people.Business response
