Employment Scams

Found a job offer on "mediabistro.com" and it was for Account Payroll/Personal Assistant Position. They want me to print out checks on my own for him and send them to "his clients". He wants me to buy a Checksoft program ($40) and certain ink($60) for printer so I can print these checks and mail them to the people.

I had been applying online for jobs. I really do not remember applying for this company, but anyways I received a text from Jason West 412-387-8938 stating my resume was received and forwarded to Evolet Healhcare in regards to the vacant position they are needing to fill immediately. The text I received was on Friday March 25, 2016. He then continued on stating the interview will conducted via yahoo instant messenger. He provided me with Patricia Moore's yahoo screen name [email protected] and also provided hangout [email protected]. I started my online interview via yahoo messenger. I was online interviewing for about an hour and she stated I was hired and for me to be online Saturday morning at 8am my time March 26, 2016 and that she would provide me with the tracking number of a check that i would receive to purchase software that I would be needing. I was online at 8am Saturday March 26, 2016 she did'nt have any information for me and stated for me to be online Monday (today) March 28, 2016 she provided the tracking number of FEDEX for me to look up as i was looking up to see where it was it stated on the FEDEX website that it had already been delivered at 718am to my address. I though it was weird because I did not here anyone knock on my door or ring my doorbell but it said on with FEDEX website that it was left at the front door so I went to my front door and yes the package was there. Inside the package was a letter from a Bradford Gibbs [email protected] stating he was the Financial Officer from the Financial Department. This letter does not look legit, it looks like something you just made up on Microsoft Word like any one can create a letter like this. What I thought was weird was that on the letter itself there was an "Important Notice: Disregard and message informing you that the payment manager has resigned or has left the payment department or give you a new email contact other than what you have above, an information of that nature is false." The check received in the amount of $4890.00 it looks real its from TLC Community Credit Union however the name of the bank on the top left hand side is faded. I also looked online to see if the routing number matched and it did not. The numbers of the bottom of the check start with the check number and the numbers following after that do not match the routing number that goes to TLC Community CU. Therefore I questioned Patricia Moore because she kept saying for me to go to my bank ATM and deposit it and asked how long it would take me to go to my bank and come back. I then told her i was not comfortable depositing anything into an ATM that is something I never do and that I was sure of this was even legit because the recipient's copy on the part that is #1 from it had American Bureau address for them had my address and then I also though it was weird that no signature was required. To me if I was sending someone a check for $4890.00 I would want a signature from someone showing that they received it. All she had to say about the from to address was "oh it was a mistake okay ?" I then asked her if this was some kind of scam she said "How do you mean ?" I asked her " how about this why doesn't your company purchase all the software and send it to then we will go from there" her response was "This the company policy" I then asked her if there was any documentation she can provide me. She said " Listen your bank will verify the check" and that was the end of our conversation.

I was sent an email from Jeffrey Kenar about an assistant position. Was offered the job and was sent a cashiers check for $4892.50. I went to the back to check if was fraud and also called the bank the cashiers check came from. Both banks said it was fraud and there is no record of the serial number on the cashiers check.

Culprit claiming to be aka mubin posting fake ads on Craigslist about employment opportunities about data entry and sales representative. Also sent a check for 3,825.09 for office supplies, then requesting that 350.50 be sent to Jodi fisher.
