A woman who thought she had a job through the website Indeed.com reported having money stolen through a fraudulent check. The woman filed a complaint Monday with the Orange Police Department.
The 20-year-old woman told police she submitted a resume through the job search website and was contacted by a health care team. They told her she would take care of a 65-year-old woman who would move to Beaumont.
According to the police report, the company sent her $3,850 and told her to deposit the check to buy a wheelchair, oxygen tank and other supplies. After the woman deposited the check, the company notified her the woman would be cared by someone offering a lower rate.
They asked her to deposit some of the money to a bank account and then send $360 through a Walmart wire transfer. The woman followed the instructions and was then notified by her credit union the original check had been written on a closed account and was not good.
