Victim Location 77024
Type of a scam Employment
Sent me an email to undisclosed people; the email says I am “Douglas Alfred” and that he got my contact info from the community college I attend. He was in need of a virtual personal assistant to do various errands because he is a consultant with international clients. The need was for immediate employment with a $20/hr rate. He also indicated when his return would be and that he would interview me then for more specific long term employment. The work would be in his office. Upon inquiry, I received an immediate email with inquiry if I could start immediate and details that the need comes from the fact he is abroad often. The request was for my name, my mailing address and direct phone number so he can me a check to do his errands.
Upon further query on my part about his business (like what his business address is and line of work – specifically), I did not receive an email in return.
