Housekeeping Scam

My daughter applied for a job with a Fischer and Madison Mayle they sent her a fake check for $2350.00 told her to deduct the $300 for her first weeks employment. I have been aware the entire time that this is a scam and had them go ahead and send her the check so she could see the amount and what they were trying to do. I am sure the next e-mail will be that they need her to send some of the money back. Heck of a way to learn a lesson but there it is. The name of the company on the check is The Electromagnetics Academy and the bank is Cambridge Trust Company. The employer was supposedly transferring from Texas, the check is from Massachusetts and the package the check came in was from California.

Welcome to Scamwarners BrandyMartinez,

Please post the email address of the scammer.

You can take the fake check and package along with copies of the emails to your local Law Enforcement or whoever delivered the package. Make sure you keep copies for the future. Please next time you know it is a scam immediately stop. Do not go any further. Its better to be safe than sorry. I know you wanted to show your daughter a lesson. Sometimes these lessons can go wrong.
