My wife received the same email in the above post and completed the interview this morning. She thought this was a legit job until I ran into this. She has given them some of information, but hasen't signed any work papers yet. She was "hired" for the position but now that doesn't sound promising. They are "mailing" her a check to purchase the software required. Can you provide any details on what this scam is about so I can warn my wife not to proceed? Thanks
#189358 by AlanJones Wed Jan 29, 2014 3:57 pm
The cheque your wife will be sent will be fake. Her bank will initially clear it as they have to. She will be told that the software will be purchased by sending money by Western Union or Moneygram (or some other untraceable method). Eventually, the cheque will be discovered to be fake and the money will be clawed back from her account. The money she sent to purchase the software will be lost.

If cheque arrives, shred it and block the scammers from any further contact.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

hi BEWARE "Lea Sumlin" [email protected]. i tried to apply as a customer service representative at odesk.com after a few hours someone message me and will be interviewed thru yahoo messenger by desmond barker.. im asking for voice interview but he ignored me,, he told me about salary like the training $12.7/hr and when im employed its gonna be $19.70/hour for 40-45 hours/week. the job will be more on accounting software and inbound calls. the company name is servicehealthcare its about herbal medicine and located in india.. after few question im HIRED, and he told me they will be sending a check for me to purchase the equipment or software on a specific vendor. i kept on asking what are the software and the vendor but he wants me deposit the check and in cash the check and right after that he will be sending the list of equipment i need to purchase.. im also asking for phone interview but he did not answer me back. so im totally in doubt about this job... i received the check worth $2520 via fedex, and the delivery address came from Illinois and the check came from Arizona.. im totally in shock so what we do my aunt called the National bank in arizona and check if its not a bogus check... and they inform us that the check is un active and no funds.. and we check the company name written on the pay check Arizona Energy Industries LLC DBA A Greener Day po box 1265 camp verde arizona 86322,, this company runs recycling and waste disposal its far from what mr. desmond told me about the herbal medicine.. so kindly please beware, dont never ever provide info like bank acct, SSN and etc

Hi to all well . I have been chatting with a guy on line and was suppose to accompany him to a event . yes kind of a escort .. and no no sex I made that clear .
so he was suppose to send a little for essentials and ended up sending cashiers check lol for 2734.00 and I was suppose to take 400 out and send the rest to some event hahaha .. Well I sell adult products . and I was under the impressions that it was a convention of sorts .. sooooo when I got this and a note via text .. yes I was surprised... It says Us band on the cashiers check so I am making copies and going to usbank to tell them and show them someone is frauding them . and then to the police .. unless they process it through their attorneys for fraud .
anyway .. yes this Lea Sumlin name was attached .. what beats all is the supposed company rep cant spell or arrange a form right. Yes I am just as bad ... No its not a lauph be careful out there .. yes I had a lot of fun playing that I would do a escort doesn't mean I would have been one . I wouldn't have accepted anyway . Just was a interesting thing and well wont do that again a bit scary they would send fed ex . to send it . I have put a alert on all my credit reports so .. now its just turning this in ..

So, I hurriedly changed all the passwords and enabling the 2-step verification. Then after I notified her that its done not knowing that I already changed the passwords hehehe :=) and asked her a few questions like her location etc.. but she ignored it instead I received a reply from her that say;
