Hey Everyone,
I am so frustrated and tired of lies. I was an former recruiting officer for a firm online. I stop working with them because I was posting jobs online and no one not sending any application to me. So the ads I posted was linked to a gmail account I had created. Couples days after I received a lot of Junk and spam emails some of them I deleted and some I didn't as some caught my attention. I unfortunately reply to one which told me he would send a check to me but I didn't have an account here. So I received the check totally $2000 plus then went to the bank and open the account with the checks. The following day I was having conversation with (Fred Bradley) online and I was asking him to raised my weekly pay from $250.00 to $350.00. He then agreed to settle at $300.00, so I then email the lady who had set up my account at the bank and asked her to scan a copy of the check to me and also transfer $85.00 more from my checking account to saving. After receiving several emails from her she told me that she cannot go through with the transfer as the check was counterfeit. I was so shocked and betrayed.. I immediately send an email to (Fred Bradley- [email protected]; [email protected]), I was talking him about it on chat until his said hows comes and what do I mean and went offline I did not talk to him ever again. I had read on the internet the following day that these scammers send you check(s) and let you bank the check then ask you to withdraw a certain amount. When that's done; you are responsible for paying the outstanding sum. I am so happy that didn't happen to me and this made me wiser.
In the same course of receiving many spam and junk mails I had replied to another one as it had seems legit at first but conversation between Collin and I @ ([email protected]; [email protected]) and was questioning everything. He asked me to purchased Versa checks # 3000 ( but I got #1000 instead), ink, 9 by 12 brown envelopes. I did!!. I was printing up to 70 plus checks per day and sending them out via Fedex and UPS. I was also instructed to print fedex payment bills from his account @ [email protected]. I had to print the checks put each in an envelopes and tape the shipping label on them. Doing the same thing over and over again several days and when I went online to check the status of these I am seeing [package forward to governmental agency for further investigation- this was for UPS]; this arouse my suspension more. When I asked him about these he said that the location is bad and I would have to go to the airport three times a week to ship them. I told him point blank that it was a "No, NO!!. He instruct me to find another location and I did and shipped the packages as instructed. I reached home late that evening, so I went online to checks the status of the packages, I remember entering one it says packaged destroyed by recipient instructions -Fedex. And as usual the location is bad so today was the end of him taking me for a fool. He had given me an fedex and UPS account number when I call both offices they told me that the Fedex account was open Jan 28, 2010 and the account was restricted May 16, 2011 because of an outstanding balance owed totaling $8,500.00 for UPS they only told me that the account was canceled. Before calling the shipping agencies today, March 8, 2012 I was talking to him on IM and I told him that I am no longer interested in this job as I don't think its legit and he should pay me up for my time of work and stationery I purchased until now he has not replied. Also further back in our conversation, I asked him if its a scam he said not his work is not the kind I still didn't believe him I also asked him for a location he told me 3530 Union Street New York and he didn't have a phone because it was lost; more suspicion. Finally, i remember saying to him that why would you send a check for me to print for someone located in New york and you claim that you're working there? His reply was ' Companies pay him to issue checks and their behalf worldwide so that doesn't matter. So this is my 0.2 on the work @ home scam.
