I freelance at Elance.com. I was offered a job by this indiviudal. Told to create a yahoo messenger account to arrange for an interview. I did as instructed, as this is fairly normal for independent/freelance work. I was interviewed, which is also normal. Was told about the duties and awarded the job. Was told I would receive a check to purchase the job specific software. All this is still normal. Then was instructed to deposit my check immediately to my ATM. There was such a push and sense of urgency in getting me to deposit the check that I began to wonder about the whole thing. First, I bank out of state, so I could not deposit it in an ATM. So I informed them of my situation and they instructed me to download an android app to deposit my check electronically by phone. Again, the sense of urgency to get me to deposit the check raised red flags. I had been concerned since the initial contact, because there was no company e-mail, it was a yahoo account; then because the website the gave me for a company was in the UK. Finally because the check came from TX and none of the info matched anything on the website. The name on the check is for a company in New York, but the website is for a company in the UK, but sent from a company in Texas. Too many companies for my liking.I called my bank. They agree it sounds iffy/fraudulent.

  • I recently applied to a similar job with the same results. I haven't received the check yet (USPS tracking states it will arrive tomorrow), but the urgency is there. Made me wonder. I googled the name (Lisa Branham) and the email address ([email protected]) previously without a hit, but I decided to redo my search again (after the sense of urgency - I advised her I was out of state traveling at the moment, but was returning today) and found this post. I am planning to take to my bank and discuss with them. ::Always trust your gut!::

  • After a little more research and discussion, I will file a complaint as well, if needed. You may want to file with the Freelancers Union as well. https://www.freelancersunion.org/client-scorecard/

  • I took the check and the envelope to the bank. The check is indeed counterfeit! Sending them to their loss prevention department. Glad for that gut feeling.
