Scam contentsThe personal assistant scam is VERY common and usually a fake check scam.
Scammers often use school domain emails (either spoofed or taken over) but also these can appear on Facebook or online marketplace sites for odd jobs etc.

The scammer claims they're not in the country and needs to pay a client or donate to charity. The scammer usually sends a fake check with your "payment" also included. They then ask you to send money (the excess) elsewhere before the fake check gets caught by your bank.
