I was contacted by Mr. Norbert Tulin the following day and was told that a Cashier Check for $4,900.00 would be mailed to me over the weekend. On Monday I received the check and Mr. Tulin call and told me to deposit that in my checking account, which I did. The next morning, Mr. Tulin contacted me to setup a “Virtual Wallet” to use for purchases for the office. Now this “Virtual Wallet” uses “BITCOINS” which started alarms going off in my head. Mr. Tulin told me to go to my bank and withdraw $4,800.00 in $100.00 bills, then go to this gas station close to my house and deposit the money in a special ATM that would credit my “Virtual Wallet”. Those alarms started to get louder.

Before going to take the money out of the bank, I started researching this company (ADEPT TECH SYSTEM) on the net. I was not able to find any reference to the company being located in Toronto Canada nor any information of Norbert Tulin.
Alarms were very loud at this time. I find it strange that a company that was opening a new office did not have a senior manager come to the area to conduct the ground work required for a new office.

I never signed any hiring papers. Never provided any supporting documents for name, address, SSN, or any other employment documents that are required in the US or in Canada.

I was able to find that SCAMERS use this type of operations to get people to transfer funds from that personnel financial accounts to a bogus account for theft. I contacted my bank and found that the Cashier Check that was sent to me was fake.
Had I followed thru with the request to move money to this “Virtual Wallet”, I would have been liable for the whole amount of the withdrawal from my bank account.

I strongly recommend that others pay heed to this type of scam.
