DON`T REMEMBER WHICH AD WAS IT EXACTLY, BUT SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONE ALSO ON CRAIGSLIST.

Split into a new topic - Michelle

Welcome to Scamwarners. That's certainly a scam, so can you add his email address please.

The email address for ``sean erik`` is <[email protected]>
The other email address for ``Christopher Murphy`` is <[email protected]>

Might or might not be the same person(or group of people) preying upon those of us desperately looking for a job. Phone number on his job posting is 447405903514. Going by name of Brian. A few years ago received similar reply to my resume from a Bryan Cole claiming to be in the UK. Received three checks in the mail in the amount of $1,350 each. Of course I never cashed them - then he started sending me nasty threatening e-mails wanting to know where is money was. I told him his checks were fake and I had turned to the FBI.

I experienced an almost identical scam here in San Diego. The job was also posted on Craigslist. He claims to represent a real organization, ActionAid (actionaid.org), but his return address is @actionaidreps.org.

I responded to the ad and was hired very quickly. After a few more emails, I received a Cashier's Check for $3,500. I did not correspond with him any further. I did show the check to someone at my bank and she laughed, saying it was the worst fake she'd ever seen.

My only regret is that he has my name, address, phone, and email from my resume. I doubt I'll hear from him again but his having my info makes me want to take a hot shower.

Luckily I didn't fall for it but some people do! This is disgusting and wrong! The e-mail address used by the scammer was:

I received on of these Checks Drawn on Quest University British Columbia checking account which Quest University said that RCMP is looking into this, but cannot prosecute these "Nigerian Scammers" but will arrest anyone attempting to cash one of these 1990.00 checks. Since I am a "New" Immigrant to Canada I am not allowed to report any crimes until Immigration Canada Lands me which Have been waiting over 5 years. This has allowed many criminals to keep getting away with these crimes. I Love being a Canadian.

Same spiel but the name was Frederick (Fred) Lamp...the tip off was how could he know that after taxes it would be $400?? Everyone has different tax brackets.

However I didn't realize this until I had gotten my hopes up. Thank goodness for my dear hubby!

My gut told me this just was too good to be true...I just didn't want to believe it. I hate the evil things people do.
