Hi,

Fraud guy posted for "ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT NEEDED FOR MEGA BILL COLLECTIONS INC" and he sent fraud cheque for 4000$ and asked to transfer that money to name called "DANA DAVID" who is in malaysia to order the company equipment. Once he got that money we realized that the cheque is fraud one. There will be time between cheque deposit and actual clearance of the cheque. I dont know that.

He posted his add in sulekha, eknazar,indeed etc... . He also added his company name in various sites to proove that it is an genuine company. He uses majic jack number to call you.

Here is the initial mail got from him:

Welcome to ScamWarners victimofmegabills. I am sorry to read that you got scammed in this way. If I understand correctly, you did cash or deposit the check and then sent money to the scammer.

Yes, the banking system will realize that the check is a fake and will kick it back to your bank and they will come to you.

I suggest that you be proactive and contact the bank and take the emails you have received to them. If you wait, it may look to them like you knew the check was a fake / forgery and you hoped to gain something from it.

I hope you have kept the receipt from Western Union as that may help your case.

If in deed you did cash or deposit the check, then send money to the scammer, you will be out the money you sent PLUS fees. At worst, you will be visited by the police. That is why I suggest you be proactive in this case.

thank you for your suggestion Bubble!!

Yes I did all of the things what you suggested me.
I did even more to make his life miserable, it is working...
We contacted police and media in malaysia to involve into this kind of fraud is happening from their country.
He is in malaysia for sure.He is sending mails from malaysia not from US , he is only the person also taking money from the western union bank at malyasia with the name DANA DAVID. His name might be DANA DAVID or he might have got fake id with the name DANA DAVID to take the money from WU.

Thank you Victimofmegabills! I have applied for this job and I got the same mail what you have posted here.
I am student I was looking for part time jobs. So , he is still ready to cheat so many people.

I have seen that he posted the same advertisement two years back also. I am sad that no one has posted his scam otherwise at least you would have been saved.
he might have cheated with other names that is why you couldn't have realized.
I sent him mail saying he is b****. I think he will change his name and company details and start the game again .

I have maximum of my relatives in Malaysia. I also will help you if anything you required.
Getting money back is not the important , get the cheaters punished is very much important.

My friend has also been a victim of this mega bill collection. This guy will post an ad in Ek Nazar or Sulekha . He will always use his magic jack phone to call you. Do not believe him. He might promise to pay you after a month but he never will. If you see someone post this phone no- 4695679868 any of the ad, do not beleive him. Mega Bill Collection is a Fraud!!! he might even change his name or his company name. Becareful.

Hi scamwarners and peolpe who need help to avoid being scammed. I am now amoungst the millions who are unemployed. I posted an ad on Crigslists seeking work in the Substance Abuse field, as i am a trained counselor. I was contacted by Mega Bill Collectors to work for them. The man identified himself as ED Punett, and he left a call on my phone listed as 732-664-9092, as i was a little nieve to the game i recieved a cheak sent fed ex to me i took it to my bank and they were unable to process it, i did further reasearch and found that the cheak was indeed fraudulent and that the company is employing the aide of people all over the country and they are now using a different approach also, they are using an ad describing a couple needing a person to care for a handicapped women. This is also fraud, they are investigated through the FBI and it is in 16 states, please if you get a cheak from Brandon Salas in Louisville KY 469-567-9868 he is working with the people doing fraud and he is mailing fraud cheaks to people.

He spoke to me twice and said he would like to meet me to take my interview and said i need to start immediately. My husband and mE were not convinced with the offer and did a telephone number search on google and we found out that it was fraudulent and he had previously cheated many.

SO BEWARE FROM ANY ONE CALLING FROM 7326649022 .

Hi,

I am also a half-victim of this froud Rupesh. I got a check via usps. He called me and asked me to deposit to my bank. It's $3700 check.

What should I do now? Should I just ignore and trash the check?

Please advise soon..

And Thanks a lot for saving me from such a big fraud.

The easiest thing to do is tear it up and throw it away, and then block the scammers from your email.

Thanks a lot.

That guy Rupesh is still calling me. just he had sent an email that why I am not answering calls...

Just ignore them.

If you absolutely feel you must respond, tell him you have turned the check over to the police, and he is welcome to call them and ask for it.
