Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good?
Better Life I answered a job posting on ZipRecruiter for Administrative Assistant Atlanta Georgia Internet
I applied for a Personal Assistant ad online and recieved an email asking that we do an interview via Skype or Google Hangouts. I refused as I live in a rural area and have limited internet. So I had an interview via email which made me very suspicious so I started researching this online.
I received a check via priority mail for $1999.00. I began getting these emails below to go out and purchase items and mail them to Sweden as he claims he is a US citizen but is traveling for business and needs these items sent to him.
He texted my phone and sent emails for days afterwards asking if I had gotten the check and when could he send me his list for shopping. I avoided any response until I did alot of research. While doing the research I found out that others had fallen for this scam and they were charged with Fraud since they cashed the check and sent the merchandise overseas. They were also in a deep negative on their bank accounts as the checks were invalid. They look realish but I did my due diligence and researched the bank that the check was from Southern Bank. Not a valid bank.
Beware! If it seems too good to be true, it is!
