PERSONAL ASSISTANT SCAM - [email protected]

I was desperatly looking for a job and i found one as a personal assistant, I sent them my resume and she emailed me back quickly. She explained that her family was moving to and they needed a personal assistant to go check the house they were moving in too, to make sure the contractors were doing their job. She texted me saying she couldn't talk on the phone right now so she would do an interview through text. She asked me many questions about my past job experience, I answered them all and she hired me. She said she would send me a contract to sign that would explain everything, I did that . Then she needed a way to send me money, she told me I can open an account anywhere just for this job, I did that. I sent her the info and she used a mobile deposit to deposit the checks and they got returned... .*that was clue number 1 that i ignored. Please forgive my ignorance*. So me being as ignorant as i was, she told me there was something wrong with the bank and suggested that I open one at a different bank. I already had a bank account that i didn't really use so me being clueless i gave her that login information to deposit checks. Well she sent me money told me to pay a contractor through money gram .....*Clue #2 that i obviously ignored*.... I took the money out and made a payment. She told me to another one luckily and did but i got that one reversed because my bank put a fraud hold on my account . LESSON LEARNED BE WARE OF PERSONAL ASSISTANT SCAMS.

Let me give you a brief information about myself. My name Dr. Anne Kantner and my husband Joseph Kantner is retired, we live in Harrisburg, PA. We have 4 kids who are very friendly 2 grown and living alone, you have nothing to do with the kids since we have a nanny for them already. We've had a previous personal assistant who has been very commendable in her activities and who has been part of our life for the past 8 months, she has since moved on with her personal life in Colorado and it has affected us in a way. We found her previously on the Craigslist website and we sincerely hope we will be able to find someone again who will be as efficient as she was.

We're looking to take someone immediately after successful screening and we are ready to work with you to tailor the job to your strengths, capability and interests once we find you fit, interested and ready for the position. However with business being slow here in PA and my husband retiring from the Military, We have decided to move back home where my husband comes from, hence we need someone in the area or town.

Before we move into our new house once completed, your duty for now is to guide the interior workers coming for the work. Ensure that all furniture and painting is correctly placed. Ensure that paint is applied properly inside and outside of the building smoothly. Ensure that workers fill nail holes, cracks, and joints with putty, plaster, or other filler. Ensure that paint match the colors of the sofas and other equipment, already the workers should know this because they are highly paid for the job. Your main job will be to give verbal instructions and caution when needed. Lastly, inspect jobs upon completion and ensure areas are clean.

Your other duties once we finally move in will include:
Scheduling household maintenance such as landscaping, Running household errands, Organizational projects, Receiving calls and responding to emails on our behalf, Light banking responsibilities, Ad-hoc domestic tasks as needed and supervision work. Do reply us if you have any difficulties handling this or if all stated duties is understood, So we can proceed. I'm not always with the phone, so email is better or my husband will answer and explain things to you.

Regards,
Dr. Anne Kantner MD
