<prompt> Human: So my girlfriend has been having financial issues and has borrowed some money from me which I dont mind at all. The problem is that she decided to work a second job without telling anyone so that she wouldnt have to ask me for money anymore. She told me that she started working as some ladys assistant. Long story short, she got paid and when she tried to cash the check, it bounced. Now my girlfriend is saying that the bank told her she owes 3000. The whole thing feels off to me. How does this even happen? Where do I go from here?edit: Ok, so it looks like it was a scam. Girlfriend thought that she would be selling something like Avon products. She said that there was no face to face interview or even contact, it was just email and over the phone. The lady sent her a 3500 check to buy Avon product from India. She ended up buying it and you know the rest. The problem now is now that I know it was a scam, what can I do if anything? Or am I just screwed out of 3000? I have a feeling its me getting screwed :  <response>: That assistant is actually a nigerian scammer. She is now out of 3k. The check bounced because it was never real.
