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
Same thing! Applied to a job on craigslist and got a reply from Keith Pastorella from Trim Inc saying I got the job and everything. He has my address and a photo of myself and he sent me a photo of himself. The email says it's coming from Mansfield, but the address he wrote in the email is LA, California. He has all my information. What should I do? Should I wait until he sends me stuff in the mail and then bring it to the authorities along with all the emails and original Craigslist listing?! Help!!
so what do i do with the check if i haven't deposited it? i got an email and text from this mannello perez guy. didn't reply because i decided to look up his name for reassurance.
On here is the exact letter that he gave/she gave me as an acceptance for the job. So just to inform you, if you ever received this letter its a scam. He/She almost scammed me as well. I copied and pasted the phone number into google search engine and it led me to this website. So please me careful accepting these job offers!
