Fraud A complainant applied for a job through text messaging to a company claiming to be Neova Group. After being hired, the company sent the complainant a check for the amount of $4,925.00, to purchase the computer equipment needed for the job.

Zelle didn't work, so with the suggestion from the company, the complainant purchased $4,600.00 worth of Apple gift cards, took pictures of the back of the cards, and sent those pictures to the company.
