Robert Pritchard, starlight children's foundation Assistant Scam!, weekly salary, ad says working with seniors but response says working with orphanage BEWARE Ottawa, Ontario
This scam offered me a job working as a receptionish with a company that works with the elderly. However, my response back was about being a personal assistant for a man that works for a children's foundation. The foundation he listed was Starlight, which is a legitimate foundation, however he was not a legitimate employee of that foundation. In the add it was listed at an hourly wage and in his email response it was listed as a weekly wage, the response was overly long and had many grammar mistakes as well as some contradictory information. Just please be aware, if I had not looked up starlight foundation I may have fallen for this scam myself!

Hey sorry I did not know how to activate the message thing.
But in reference to the scam, I actually went so far as to create a yahoo account to instant message "Robert" and when I did it seemed like the responses were preset and when I began asking more complicated questions about the reports inconsistencies I was told he was too busy to talk but the job was mine and just to send him my information to be told more. I never actually sent in my information though. I contacted the actual Starlight Foundation and they informed me that it was a scam (and that they will no longer be advertising on any web based job search engine). The real foundation has reported it to the government and urged me to do the same.

Hi, I actually was trying to send you a message but it wasn't activated or something, this will do I guess. Well, I was trying to find a job and received this e-mail as well. I wanted to ask you if you responded to the email and filled out the form. I haven't done that yet, but i got curious and did my research. I noticed that the email domain is "starlightsfoundation.org" but in the actualy website it's "starlight.org". i don't know if that mattered, but can you please give me more information on your experience and how far you went into this? Thank you!
