<prompt> Human: Hi PF! I did something kinda dumb a few days ago. I responded to an online job interview, and they proceeded to hire me. They then sent me a check for 1,850 and told me it was for equipment for my home office. They said it would be explained to me on the following day, just deposit the check into my account. So I did. The next day comes, and they tell me to withdraw the cash and take it to a Walmart for a Walmart2Walmart transfer. My boss gave me the contact info of someone to send the money to, telling me that I am sending it to a vendor and that the vendor will buy the equipment and send it to me.I honestly should have picked up on this earlier but I didnt.So, an hour after I try to make the transfer Walmart calls me and says the money is on hold because the situation seemed similar to a lot of scams going on and they explained everything to me. I asked them what I should do with the money, they said its up to my bank. I called my bank and no one was able to give me a straight answer. The money is still at Walmart and I have 10 days from when I initially brought it to pick it up.PF, what do I do?  <response>: Its a scam. Basically they end you a check, you send them back the money then in a few days your bank calls and says that the check didnt clear and youre on the hook for whatever you sent back to them. Thank your stars that Walmart alerted you. Get your money back. If you didnt have that much in your account before get it back in ASAP before the bank marks it as overdraft. Lesson learned. Employers dont send checks then ask for the money back next day. If it seems good ts probably a scam.
