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.

I recieved the EXACT same thing! i just dont understand whats the purpose because he's never asked for any money,or for me to do anything that involves getting my information except phone number and address,but i gave him a work address just to be safe. i talked to a "Nunley Melborne" as well. what is the purpose? anyone knows what the scam could be?
They are still out there doing the same scam. They are doing it to me right now. The exact same scam. Got my resume off beyond.com and gave me the job without an interview. Wanted me to get their office ready to open, they were supposedly from Canada. Had me research hotels, small business orgnaizations, lawyers, etc. Said he was paying $1000/week and I would receive a cashier's check to pay for furniture and other office supplies. It's an event planning company called BayLAH event, but its probably not really them, but someone posing as them. They seem to be a legitimate company, on the web anyway. Thanks for tiping me off about this guy.
