Yea the ad was on craigslist and they went by the name Maureen Roberts they sent a picture of some lady saying it was them and they worked for Fybom inc and that they needed a personal assistant they sent me the same letter with the phone number +1 (347) 674-2318 . They sent a $3540 check and told me to keep $500 and to buy these scratch off cards of $500 each and send her the numbers. Thank goodness I didn't deposit the check into my account but I'm just mad that people would go through these lengths to try and scam people that are really in need of a job and are trying to do things the legal way
This same person emailed me about the same thing. I deposited the check and withdrew 20 dollars . Now the check has been returned leaving me with and overdrawn balAnce of 32$. What should I do now? Do I have to pay this balance?
Same here, she says that she is a lawyer by profession and so on. And I will get paid the first week of $400. With my case I didn't send the email to her yet with my info. So thankful of these post. I try looking up the email address and it didn't give me anything but I put the name and it led me to this post. Thank you and please be aware of these scammers.
Take all information gathered to your local attorney generals office. IMMEDIATELY!!
And for those of you who have already deposited a check from these scammers, close account. By now they may have already found your account number. go in person to discuss with your bank. you will have several documents to sign but do it please. RIGHT AWAY!!!!
In PA there is a few people who almost lost their homes because of this. Yes, their homes. when they found their account numbers (when check was deposited) they traced all credit information attached. Then forged names and social's and took equity out. All happened in less than a week.
