Here’s another fake check scam that arrived in my email this morning. I have posted the email below and highlighted the red flags that its a scam in red. If you get this email, delete it. Remember that no company would ever trust an employee with thousands of dollars! This is just a ploy to steal your money. And because it involves a fake check, it could land you jail. Protect yourself and stay away from scams like this!
