Hello LAURIE POOL,

I am pleased to inform you that the funds for the foster home and your weekly payment sent. You will be getting it today.it was mail via USPS Express mail.Find below the tracking information of the payment. WWW.USPS.COM ( 9470101699320029348953 )

The payment was sent to your home address by my financial adviser, so ensure you stay at home today so you can sign for the delivery of the package and proceed with your first assignment.

However, I have been contacted by the administrator of the foster home yesterday, they told me that some of the kids need to undergo an operation.So the kids will survive the injury and so they need financial support so I reached an accord with the administrator that I will be sending them some funds.

I don't need to send you the list anymore, since they will be handling it, I think that should be a relief for you, It's a certified check in the amount of $2,455; As soon as you receive the check, go ahead and have it deposited into your account for clearance process to be done by your bank. Funds should be available in your account under 24hrs if not instantly.

Once the check has cleared your account, You are to deduct $650 as your weekly pay. Kindly provide me with your reachable cell phone number so i can text you to explain further instructions.

I will be waiting on your email once you received a check, please get to it as soon as you can. Once again I want to use this medium to remind you that this first assignment would be used to evaluate your ability. However, I should be back in few days time to arrange a formal interview and meet you. I will be waiting to read back from you ASAP today.Take good care of yourself and have a blessed day.

Thanks

I will await your response..
Very Respectfully,
Joseph Howell.

I sent an email to Joseph Howell with my cell phone number to get "instructions". I have received several "text messages" asking about the status of the deposit. Not only did the check not go through, the check status has created a "restriction" be placed on my account. I was told that by my bank when I called to check on the deposit posting to my account.

I asked Mr. Howell (Gilligans Island, I know but...) via text message to provide the specfics of the "task".... He told me to go to my bank this morning and withdraw the remaining $1805.00 and take it to Walmart, but to ask him first where to send it to so he would get the right agent at Walmart. However, I discovered that the check had not been processed by my bank because it couldn't be verified. He tried to say it was because he cancelled the payment. Bull, my bank tried to verify the check the minute I made the deposit.

Hopefully, you get the gyst of my statement. DON'T DO ANY BUSINESS, CORRESPONDENCE OR MAIL ACCEPTANCE FROM THIS COMPANY (PERSON) (SLIMEBALL). THIS IS A HUGE SCAM.

If I get my wish, the person or persons doing this will soon be incarcerated.
