Omaha Student Lost Nearly $5K After Fake Job Sent Him a Check
Yahoo News
An Omaha college honors student lost nearly $5,000 after responding to an online work-from-home job offer that turned into a fake check scam.
Serin Anderson, a business major, said he applied for a remote data entry job that promised $25 an hour, according to WOWT.
He believed the position could help him gain career experience and give him something useful to add to his resume.
Instead, the offer left him overdrawn after the check connected to the job was later flagged as fraudulent.
