The complete scam details: I applied for a position http://www.houstonjobboard.us/index.php?post_id=3110 as an administrative assistant with Meyer Organics PVT LTD. Then I got an email from [email protected] that I had an interview via yahoo messenger [email protected] on Monday. I didnt realized it was a different company until I looked at records of the jobs I applied to. Then I saw [email protected] was the same for both. I had the interview, but the woman states she is from Browndove Healthcare PVT LTD. I look them up during the interview and see it is a legit company out of India. She states the Houston Office will be open 11/25 and the temporary office is 111 2nd Avenue St Petersburg Florida 33701. Then a little while After the interview I was told I had the job and that I would be sent a check to by software for the job. That I needed to send my address to [email protected] so I did. Then This morning I received the offer letter from [email protected] with instructions to sign before 10/05/2012. Then a little while later I received a check via FEDEX from Kim Brier Alaska Air Forwarding 418 west Ritner street Philadelphia, PA 19148. (Which is a home address, not a business) When I asked why the check was from XYZ Company I was told they were a third party vendor since they only had a temporary office. She told me that once I cash the deposited the check I needed to send her a copy of the deposit slip. I said I would not send my account information across the internet and then she said just cross that out so I later on told Mrs Angela Horton I had cashed the check and needed to know what to do next. She asked for the cash receipt which I stated I throw away because I didn’t know I needed it. She then asked about the check cashing fees and I told her $80.00 and I had $2555 left She instructed me to western union the money to Joan Critser in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa Code 51054 via money in minutes. The check was for $2635.00 and I was instructed to send $1150 from one western union location and $1150 from another western union location and provide her with a scan of the western union forms the rest of the money was to cover the western union fees. The instructions I got with the check where from Betty Oliver [email protected] and I am to email her How the funds were used, exact amount used and whom I order the materials from. So That’s the whole scam I reported to the IC3 website and now I am report here with hopefully enough information that if someone runs an internet check on any these it will come up as a scam. The Check was a check from a trucking company in California and drawn off of US Bank. I check the routing number and called the trucking company only to find out the check was cashed/issued in March 2012.
