All the info MBX has given you is fake. Their Us number is a VOIP phone number that can be forwarded anywhere in the world through the internet. There is a legitimate company by the name of MBX but they are not a virtual office - the scammers have stolen the identity of the real company to hire mules and reshippers. Do not reply to any emails from the fake company. The real company is not hiring virtual assistants according to their legitimate website.

Can you post the email you received (with your personal information removed).

Apparently I fell for this one. I always thought of myself to be cynical and careful.I just worked a whole month for them and now I'm disappointed to find out I wont get paid. I did a number of assignments, mostly research. Among the first, I was to locate a sculpture, In Ukraine. Then they wanted me to Moneygram Money over to sculpture. Luckily I only had a prepaid checking account and they couldn't wire me the money. Then they opened up a Bank of America Checking account for me just for the bank to close it claiming Identity theft. I was sure this company was legit! Goes to show u how much work goes into the scam.
