Job SCAM--10/27/09---HELP

I have been emailing this MR Jason Brandon about a job and now today I am to get a check and sent money to a Nicieli Diaz that lives in Springfield, Mass. Looked her up on facebook--there she is--and the address is hers. She is to be his helper setting up his new office. Where he dont say.

So what do I do when I get the check? Cops? FEDS what?

I know this is illegal and scamming someone else.


I am not going down with anyone just because I answered an email.

I need help. DS

Hi DS,

Welcome to scamwarners. First thing - You're not going down just because you have received a fake check from a scammer. You could bring this to the attention of LE (Law Enforcement) and we generally encourage this but to be honest, they are not likely to take a great deal of interest in it. We suggest that you either destroy the fake check or simply deface it and keep it as a trophy. Obviously we recommend that you stop all communications with the scammer. If you ignore them they will eventually leave you alone.

It is entirely possible that "Nicieli" is also a victim of the same scammer. She may believe that she has a legitimate job collecting "customer payments" for her employer. Could you please PM the contact details for Nicieli to either myself or one of the admin/moderators of this forum and we will send an appropriate warning to her.

Thank you for posting this information btw. If you have the time could you please post the original email you received that lead to this scam. Remove all your personal information from the post though.

You're to pay Nicieli Diaz by Western Union I expect. which doesn't mean she's involved. The scammer won't have any trouble withdrawing the money wherever he is.
It's possible that whoever printed and sent you the fake check is another scam victims tricked into thinking they've got a legitimate job.

I have the same name, this is where I'm trying to rent out my apartment. They are demanding I send

Name............ NICIELI DIAZ
Address......... 462 BELMONT AVE
City................ SPRINGFIELD
State................, MASSACHUSETTS
Zipcode............ 01108
Country..........USA

Nicieli $1650 for their "flight", out of however much their sending. I've already had one fake check today, I'm sure this will be another!

In short;

If you are at all unsure about a check, money order, cashier's check or travellers check you have received, you should take it to your bank or local police and tell them you think it may be from a scammer.
