A teenager was scammed out of about $3,000 by a fake company that falsely hired him. Investigators say the 18 year old from Effort was “hired” by the fake company to cover a car with an advertisement wrap, and he was promised that he would be paid $500 a week for it. He got a check in the mail for $2,950 and was told to deposit it into his bank account… then send $2,400 back via Zelle to pay for the wrap and processing fees… and he could keep the extra $550 as his first payment. The check bounced.
