--After that, my e-mails kept on bouncing back. "mailer-daemon". I tried to call her too but she doesnt answer.
I was thinking this is a good deal however, i am doubtful because she wants to send me the key and wants me to start right away without interviewing me personally.I thought of this as a kind of scam. Please help me, She has my full name and mailing address, will this make me in trouble?

Thanks!

Welcome to Scamwarners akosiingrid,

It is 100% scam. The writing is from a West African Scammer. The email bounced because another victim reported the email for scamming. She/He does not answer the phone because you will hear the African accent.

The scammer wanted to send you a fake advance payment. Your bank would have cashed it but later informed you of the fraudulent deposit. You would have had to re-pay that money back to the bank.

The scammer would have came up with a reason why you needed to send money to a third party. He would request/demand that this is done by Western Union or Money Gram. If this is done you will never see your money again. These payments can be picked up anywhere in the world.

Please verify requirements for visa's and entering other countries for jobs. You can contact or visit the real State Department or Embassy.

Thanks for the response.. by the way,the email she used was [email protected]
She has my full name and mailing address.. what should i do?will that cost me any trouble? Thanks..

^^^^ No it should not. She/he was trying to give some credibility to their lie and job. Just totally ignore them at this point and do not respond to any messages. Drop them cold. They will respond to anything you send and attempt to make you believe they are real. Scammers lie for a living.

Omg thank you so much.. so this is a scam.. im glad it would put me in trouble even if the have some of my info ^^
