This man calls himself Paul McDonald and had advertised for a CNA job on craigslist. A friend of mine who was looking for a job replied to the ad and was offered a job to take care of Paul's 40 year old brother. Paul sent an email claiming that he would send a check for $1850 which my friend must deposit into her bank account and then withdraw $200 for personal expenses and send the balance to Daniel Letcher of Seal Beach, CA 90740. He later sent a text message to inquire if his email had been received. My friend called me for advise and I happened to look up this website and found similar complaints that this is a scam. I have asked my friend to take the check to the cop station when she receives it in case they wish to investigate the scam.
