Type of a scam Employment

Sara Kaminsky, a manager of Bakar in America, emailed me back in early September 2017 about an employment opportunity. I imagine she obtained my address from numerous job boards listing my contact information. I had to sign and return an employment agreement and employment application with BAKAR. After that, I was an employee of the company. I was to be paid, as an independent contractor, $3,000USD per month. My duties included obtaining checks by mail, retaining my salary/fee from those checks and sending the remaining funds to "company"

employees in different European locations by MoneyGram. Initially, everything was okay, but a short time later, fraudulent checks were mailed to me to be deposited in my bank account. I didn’t know they were fake until the bank informed me the checks could not be cashed and I incurred a fee for the amount of the check(s). Currently, I owe roughly $5,000USD. As for documentation, I have the signed employment application, BAKAR’s ISO document (apparently stating they’re allowed to legally conduct business in America) and endless e-mails from their US representative/manager, (my boss) Sara Kaminsky. I have several addresses she used to contact me and more e-mails about my activities, problems conducting those activities and the non-payment of back wages.
