Who called from 2894006510

" Andrew Dundas"   "Canadian SCAMMER"

I applied for a job and whoever posted the job told me to call 289 400 6510  and I heard its a fraud, and they ahev also been emailing me saying that I have the job and everything.

I also received the same email from that person. What do you think that's about? What type of fraud?

I applied for a job on careerbuilder, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT/ SERCRETARY NEEDED URGENTLY, I got an email from " andrew dundas" stating I got the job, then I got an email from careerbuilder stating this posting was not through the company they contracted with. He has even called and said he sent a check for pay some of my wages, "his agent", hotel, car rental,etc ( HE EVEN GAVE ME A TRACKING NUMBER) I'm pretty sure it's a cashiers check scam. ///they give you a check, you cash it, make payments to someone, then the check ends up being fraudulent and you get stuck with the charges. Alot of people are doing this online, also with driving job, work at home, AND REMEMBER IF IT SOUND TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS!

You're absolutely correct and it runs on the time difference between clearing a check all the way back to the originating bank (takes days) and a money wire through Western Union (takes hours). The scammer will have your cash in hand long before the check comes up bad. Another danger is ID theft because job applicants can be asked to provide personal info like SSN, birth date, etc. so even if you avoid the check scam, ID theft remains a real possibility. Some scams also ask victims to pay a fee for a fake background check. Scams evolve so consumers must stay vigilant.
