So i am on freelancer to bid on jobs. I get approved for a payroll clerk gig, the employer says that he is an artist & he needs me to handle customer payments through my bank. The name he uses on google hangouts is bill ellis, the name on the retun address is warren breingan, the mame on the check is medpoint health partners llc c/o richard meyers 7106 gaither rd sykesville, md 21784-7110.

The bank is pnc bank, n.a. https://www.pnc.com/en/about-pnc.html?lnksrc=topnav
I sent him those same links & he asked what they were. He wants me to deposit the check in my atm. Is this mail fraud?
This sounds like a Nigerian check scam. I had a friend get caught up in one of these and he ended up being convicted of felony fraud. It was not a good situation at all.
It turned out to be a bank fraud scam . Thanks.
