Arkopharma Laboratories ARKOPHARMA PHARMACEUTICAL LABORATRIES Money Order Scam Waterford Nationwide

I applied for a Virtual Assistant position on the website Upwork.com. I was contacted for an interview thru gmail chat with a HR rep named Margaret who's email address was employmentdesk6@gmail.com

Margaret claimed to be an HR rep for Arkoppharma Labatories and Pharmacuticals. She described the company, and the work Id be doing from home. She hired me after only 30minutes of chatting. She told me I'd be making $30 per hour.

Everyday I had to get on and chat with her at 8am. The next day after the interview, she stated that they would be sending me a payment to pay for certain software I needed. I was hesitant. I questioned why they couldnt just send the software. She stated she would research this with the company. 

She insisted they send the check via FedEx. I missed the delivery man twice. They would request the package be retunred immediatly instead of letting me pick it up at the FedEx Office. 

I finally got the check and immediatly noticed that it was a money order. 

I have been scammed with fake money orders before. This time I called the issuing bank, GECU. 

GECU said the money order number was correct but the amount as wrong, and that the money order had been cashed already. They told me not to cash it.

I immediatly report Margaret and her company to the feds.
