Could anyone be so kind as to comment a tl;dr of this one? I am curious but it was very long and I haven't the time at this moment.

A fake job offer gone wrong

#12To be honest, one can easily realize that this "Marc Cannon" is a fake with the amount of spelling and grammatical errors he makes. Real professionals do not make spelling and grammar errors such as: "Do you have any other question ?" "Good morning how are you this morning." "I will send you later" "Good morning, How are you doing today ?" "This is very disrespectful and all director are to meet you for training on m…
Definitely a cause for alarm for someone that supposedly works in software in Florida, but there are professionals who don't have English as their first language.

No "Marc Cannon" would begin any sentence with "Kindly" either.

Guy gets a "job" as a software engineer with a WHOLE lot of work, onboarding, paperwork, etc. Then the first thing they ask him to do is deposit a check into his account and send them the Cash immediately, before the check clears. They had the check UPS'd to his house, too.
Yep, he gets the job and then they suddenly run into a lot of errors and whatnot and he has to pay their check. When he tells them its a scam, they start questioning him lmao.
Look at their bad grammar in the full conversation though, this was the last dead giveaway.

#15Are cheques even used for anything except for fraud anymore? Open call: Anyone out there paying or receiving payment with cheque in the last ten years?
I've paid rent using cheques to multiple different landlords within that time frame. US and Canada.
I've received money from the Canadian government using cheques in that time frame too, but admittedly you could just special case the government.
I've received prize money from a university run contest during that time frame using cheques (barely in the time frame, small sum of money), and I know others who have received prize from privately run chess tournaments using cheques (I think the latter just because it's a cool souvenir).

Well, yeah there are professionals who don't have English as their first language, but I mean making a mistake in the most basic punctuation marks?
Sure if he doesn't know the difference between "it's" and "its" then it's fine, but if he doesn't know how to properly use commas in a sentence then one must question his professionality. Additionally, there was no way he doesn't have the office email ID.

I received my first pay in the US via actual paycheck since I wasn't able to open US bank account in time.

A fake name, a fake job offer, a fake office, and a fake kit. If I was being interviewed I probably would have trolled this guy back by giving him fake money.
