Just got scammed :(

I'm a 22 year old student currently working at an unpaid internship in NYC, communting an hour and a half from New Jersey to New York 3 times a week. On my remaining 4 days of the week, I serve at a slow restaurant in Jersey City, which is an hour away.  I was just beginning to save up for my first apartment when I replied to an ad on Mandy.com asking for an "Online Personal Assistant." After 3 weeks of communications throught emails, I was sent a check for $3,000 which was to cash and wire to the SOS Children's Community in League, Texas.  The check did not clear.

I now have a balance of -$3,000 in my checking account and will have to pay bank fees on top of this.

I hope you find it in your heart to help out a young lady. I'm offering a bunch of my crafts & food for those who display extreme generosity.

Thank you so much for your time and have a wonderful day!
