I just fell victim to this scam regarding a job offer for a driver paid 2000 euros a month for 4 hours of work a day and 5 days a week! Too good to be true! I even cashed the check and got the money to send it back! What should I do?

I have had this tempting job offer since this morning... I immediately became interested because it seems too good to be true with a salary of 3600 euros per month... but being naturally cautious, my sixth sense told me to do some research online and there, I came across your forum which confirmed my doubts.... I thank you all for helping me out of this scam.... because they were asking for my personal documents... I am now going to block them... thank you.
Hello,
Check with your bank to see if they can do something.
But of course, you're right, it's a nice scam.
It's almost like making twice as much by working half as much, which is very suspicious.
Furthermore, why would you need to receive money to send it back?
And lastly, there's a good chance the scammer is a foreigner.
So in any case, it will be difficult to recover your money.
See you later.

Hello, I also saw this ad, but at no point did they ask me for my account number or anything else likely to make me a victim of theft. I completely agree with you in saying that this offer is suspicious. I would still like to know what the scam is... I don't understand.
The scam is simple: In my case, it involves a check sent by mail by the bank, which was stolen before it reached its destination. However, in my case, wanting to see how far the scam would go, I cashed the check, as there were funds in an unused account. I now have €1500, which the bank will very likely recover in the coming days since the checkbook has been reported stolen and a stop has been placed on each check.
Where is the scam? It's that my contact, a nice African named "Mr. Sébastien," just asked me to withdraw as much cash as possible from the €1500 at the bank, and he would certainly ask me to send this money via cash transfer or Western Union. That's when I stopped everything, ceased responding to Mr. Sébastien's pressing calls, contacted the check's owner (a bakery in Paris that had its checkbooks stolen), and went to the Gendarmerie to file a well-documented complaint.....
If I had sent the money to Mr. Sébastien, I would have been paying him willingly, and the sums would not be recoverable. I would have paid. But the bank will seize the money and remove it from my account since it doesn't belong to me. So I will no longer have the funds, and I would have willingly sent a payment to a stranger who of course disappears without a trace...... The scam is there....

Hello,
This concerns me in that it is a check sent by mail from the bank, which was stolen before it reached its destination. However, in my case, wanting to see how far the scam would go, I cashed the check, the funds being in an unused account.
Well done, you are now an accomplice and a receiver of stolen goods!

Hello, I am on the Facebook account of the company Direct emploi for a job offer as a chauffeur de maitre. They asked me to agree to receive a check to cash and then rent a vehicle with it. When I replied that I wanted to wait 15 days after putting it in my account, they responded that they would make a transfer and asked for my bank details. Do you think this company might also be a scam?
3600 euros per month... The scammer shot himself in the foot... But some will not ask any questions and will rush into the trap...
See you
