I would like to help assist in putting a stop to scams and also getting these fake checks being sent to me.

Thanks,

Hello, I just have a question. I have received an email from Paul James stating that this position is for an administrative assistant. My duties would be that he would send a check through ups, I am supposed to go to the bank and cash it then keep 8% and send the rest western union to a name and address that he provided. How did you find out more information on him? I went to the Better Business Bureau and could find nothing about his company.

I could not find any information at BBB either, I have received calls from this # but when I answer no one is there but I have been getting these emails, like this one. If there is a check at my home I'm going to turn it in to the authorities.
