Fraud Alert: I applied for a job for a Customer Service Representative through Glassdoor. The company looked legit. I received an email about the job with the duties expected but the job had changed from CSR to an admin assistant. After I excepted the position, I received a check. The check was said to pay for supplies with a $500 sign on bonus. Luckily, my years of Fraud experience, I did some research and found out this a job scam. Be careful!

Good for you for spotting it! A lot of people just do not know how the scammers work and get taken advantage of. There are tons of people in desperate times too so I get it, but just awful what is being done out there. Can never be too careful and double check everything. If it doesn’t sound right, do some more digging.

It’s definitely an adjustment, but I’ve found new ways to create impact—like owning internal processes or mentoring newer AMs. You might not touch every detail, but you can still influence strategy and client success. Sometimes it’s about redefining your role within a bigger system.

Yea anytime a company sends you a check and wants you to cash it and send them so much of it back, that is a scam. And unfortunately people continue to fall for these scams which is why they are still going on. I am glad you were careful though.

1st Job - 90k…. Is this a good salary? Late to the game at 34. Don’t even know anything about personal finance.
