I received the check today, I will not be putting it in my account due to the fact it is not a payroll check from the company you claim to be hiring for. The check was hand written and from someone that I had never spoken with. All of this seems like a scam. Every Email I've Received Is from a personal email address. If this was legitimate, all correspondence would be from a company email address and the letter attached would be on company letter head. I am declining and will send the check back to the sender. There is no way that you can make me believe any of this is true. I'm much more educated that that and not easy to get over on. Once again thank you but no thank you. I've reached out to the Microland to inquire more about the position you claim to be the hiring manager for. I will be giving them all copies of our correspondences. Thank you and good day!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even after this she still tried to convince me that this is legitimate and she really work for the company. I called her out on all her flawed information and her misuse of proper grammar. So for anyone that receive a email from either of these 2 scam artist. Please Please Please don't fall for it. When something is too good to be true its usually " A SCAM"!!!
