Omg!!! This happened to me too, word for word of how you explained it. Everything was too good to be true but I trusted him too far, and it cost me $5000. The job, furniture purchase, the fake new building location, the hotel accommodations... I even did research for him!!! He sent me the cheque for the furniture and told me to deposit it. Then he told me to withdraw it and deposit it to another account. It took 3 days for my bank to find out the cheque was bad. They stopped my account. The cheque was in the name of a gaming company. I told the police everything but they said chances of catching him were slim. As soon as the bank told me, I emailed him, called him, texted...everything was already disconnected. I did email him a lengthy letter to tell him that he was the scum of the earth.
On 10 May 14, someone named John Guzman contact me via Indeed.com because he saw my resume on that site. I had posted it one day earlier and said that he needed an account receivable clerk to start a new office in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta, Canada. On the second email he asked for my name, full address and phone number so that he could mail me a cheque to buy office furniture and stationaries for the new office that was being renovated. I though it was kind of weird that I had the job without having an interview or talking to anyone, that he would send me a $5K cheque to deposit in my bank acct. He also said that he would be arriving on 13 May that I had to book accommodation for him and the other delegates and that we would meet at that time. When he called me on 12 May his number was local and he said that he was at his mother's place. I had this gut feeling all along that something was too good to be true. I did some research and came to see the info on this site. I want to thank you for the warning and for having a site like so this so people don't get scammed this scum bag.
