Thank you for wasting my time. Just to let you know, this whole scam that you and your crew are running is all over the internet.
personnelsdesk01: What do you mean by this whole scam?
personnelsdesk01: I need to know what makes you think such
jlouis086: You know exactly what I'm talking about.
personnelsdesk01: I dont know what you mean and thats why i want you to explain to me
jlouis086: Go on google.com, type up instant message interview scam.

personnelsdesk01: Would you provide your bank information if you asked to give it out?
jlouis086: Of course NOT! By the way, I just received your fraudulent check.

personnelsdesk01: I told you to set up an account with it since yi=ou can not deposit it into your account
jlouis086: But it's a Bank of America Check, They will hand you the money right away! Wouldn’t that be better?
jlouis086: And I thought the check was coming from Mayo Healthcare. Why does the check say Premier Players Sports Foundation? Those two does not correlate with each other.
personnelsdesk01: Sending a check from Australia takes more time and costs more thats why the check came from Premier Players Sports Foundation.
jlouis086: lol you make no sense. SMH. I did my research on Mayo Healthcare and on Premier Players Sports Foundation. The two are not affiliated. So please come again...Better this time.
personnelsdesk01: I dont have time to waste here
