VFCORP Financial Services [email protected]

l received an email after I replied to an employment ad on Craigslist. I looked at the company it was supposed to come from, "VFCorp". Be careful because there is a very successful company named VF Corp. That company listed it's VP's and this person was not one of them. The email did not as for money, but it was very similar to others I have read in on ScamWarners:

Yes, it is another scam job/employment.

Don't fall for this Crap.

I received exact same massage from a Linda Cross 2011, It's a Scam. They will end up sending you a stolen checks to Cash.

At first i received a parcel in the mail from FedEx, I was asked to keep the parcel safe till he returns from his trip, I taught "It might be a Bomb or illegal items inside" You can never be too sure, i opened the envelope and everything inside the parcel was just paper-works.

I received a cashier check days later also from FedEx, I cashed the first two checks i received, Each check was for $3800. I was asked to deduct my weekly wages of $400 and send the rest to a lady in Texas. The third check was delayed by my bank for seven working days. Before the seventh day my account was negative, both checks bounced. I was out of $7600 and my account was in neg , I need to bring it out of neg. before it goes to collections.

The bank withdrew what i had left in my account and i still had to pay back additional $2000 to my bank.


I LEARNED THE HARD WAY. ITS A SCAM. DON'T FALL FOR IT.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience but it's valuable for others to learn from your experience.

It's particularly despicable that the maggots steal off people trying to find honest work and create debt for those who don't have the money.
