Complaint Review: ROBERT MARSH

BEWARE OF A SCAM ARTIST BY THE NAME OF ROBERT MARSH!!!

He sends you and email claiming to be a busy man with many businesses. He is in search for a personal assistant that works from home. Once you reply to the email stating that you are interesting in the position, he sends you the name of a website to fill out and application. The applications does not ask for any personal information like SS# or DOB. Once you inform him of your filling out the application, he sends another email that states that you will need certain office equipment and that he will pay for the expenses of that equipment.

Then get this....he actually does send a check in the mail!!! The one he sent me was worth $3000. The names on the top of the check were James Cone and Sylvia Cone who supposedly lives in SC. The name of the bank on the check USA Federal Savings Bank of Freeway, TX...Guess what??? I googled it...there is no such bank nor a Freeway, TX, but there is a bank by the name of USAA Federal Savings Bank, so that comes to show how smart this guy thinks he is. He told me that once I cashed the check, the money was to be disbursed as follows: $250 for equipment, $500 for part of first week's salary payment, and the remaining $2250 was to be sent through Western Union to a Property Agent named Laura Thomas at 24 Bowling Green Lane London, EC1R 0NE, United Kingdom.

Then after I was to send the money, I was required to obtain a MTCN# and the amount in pounds sterling after deducting the 7% charge that Western Union charges to wire money; I  was supposed to e-mail him with this information. I have not went any further with this assignment because I found his name on this website over 3 times. Once I would have sent this email, he stated in the previous emails that he would be sending me another payment and assignments. I went to a check cashing place and the person behind the desk told me that it was a 90% chance that the check was fake!!!! I didn't believe him then, but I surely do now. So now since I was unaware of this until now, I now have to go to my bank and inform them of the situation, but first I am going to hold out to see if my bank actually recognizes the check as fake. I have kept ALL emails sent and recieved to and from this ROBERT MARSH!!! I hope this helps.

WHY would you send a check with someone else's name on it and on top of that a fake bank??? Someone please tell me where they do that at....It's a good thing that I serve an awesome God who sees all things and takes good care of his children!!!

With best regards,

BLC

P.S. I hope you have a good time in prison Mr. Robert....you will be caught :P
