I just received a text message in reply to an ad I posted on CL. He said his name was Frank Raymond and he worked for JJ Brown Const. He wanted me to give him my checking acct number and password. I was born at night but not last night. What a scam!! Glad I checked it out.
well I was just offered a job as a personal assistant for this man Thomas Reynolds. glad I checked the phone # out. because it is out of my area. then he continued to tell me he needed to put money in my account to pay his employees. haha. I am not stupid. glad the conversation last 2 seconds.
Just got the same thing. He asked for my bank account user, pass, and pin. The deal was too good to be true. He offered $800/week to be his personal assistant. Me too, was told he was Thomas Reynolds. I said I needed verification and documentation of his job. He gave me the link to a JJ Brown Construction company, phone number 312-945-8461 in Chicago. I called it and it was an automated number from google voice saying " state the name of the person you want to reach and google voice will find them. I hung up. And real business would not have an automated service like that.
Please, I hope you find this helpful BEFORE you fall into this trap.
Must have gotten my number off of craigs list...thank goodness i listed a trac phone number and not my REAL number. Told him to go play in someone elses sandbox....never heard back, lol. Definitely a scam, same name, same number.
I just got the text from Thomas Reynolds, the EXACT thing you guys are saying is what I'm being told. Glad I looked this up. Now can tell him to go play in traffic :) , Now I need to continue my search for a job lol
