Three sessions following one job scam from first contact to the damage.

Casey gets a job offer that never asked for a résumé. Then an overpayment, then a request to send the difference back — and then a check that had already cleared bounces.

The unit teaches the exact banking mechanism that makes this work: when a bank makes funds available, that is not the same as a check having cleared. Days or weeks later the forgery is discovered and the account holder is liable.

Almost nobody knows that, and every overpayment scam depends on it. Job scams are among the most common aimed at teenagers.
