greatbatchjobs.com, as Bryon pointed out, is a one-year domain registered less than a month ago by hidden. Its website is a 404 page. Please post the complete headers of the email from greatbatchjobs.com, so that we can kill it. If you sent an email to greatbatchjobs.com and got a reply, post both with complete headers.

I got the same thing. I also sent my license with the number blanked out and a utility bill to verify identification. Something in the wording raised a red flag so I called the company. Cathy has been out of the office for 2 weeks and that email address is wrong. This is definatly a scam using a real company & real hiring agent's name. I had her on AIM and she was asking for more information which luckily I didn't give but I'm wondering how many people have gone through with it thinking it's real. It looks so legitimate that I actually thought I was hired when they sent me the letter to download, sign & email back. Now thy have my signature, picture from my license , email & address. I called the company to reassure myself only to find out that they had 1 other call about this and yes, it is fake.

Yes, I just received the same, however, I completed all the pre-training "tasks" and then was told I would receive the check to start up the HOL (Home Office Location). I just received the check via fed-ex today. The check doesnt even have their name on it. It is a cashier's check with all the security features, and says "REGIONS" on the check. The account holder is Lin Ling Chiu, 1040 Chula Visa Drive, Friendsville TN 37737-2100.. I said WTF? the check doesnt even look real!

This "Cathy Herzog, has been emailing/AIM all morning to see if I have received the check.

I too have been very cautious about this, but with the offer letter and all, it seemed so legit since they took so long to go through the process. I was tricked before with something similar, however they used paypal accounts to get the money and never sent people their product. I now owe paypal, and all I was supposed to be in the "payment processor". I checked around too, and there is a Greatbatch in Cleveland, but everything previously posted is the same scenario. I even received a letter as to "how to make use of the check" with an unrecognized signature and says for official use. No letterhead, phone, address, nothing!

Herzog even has a picture attached to her emails and AIM, but I believe her picture is being used for the scam, otherwise who would use their picture if they are conducting a fraud.
