SCAM! He texted me saying his name was Dr. Christopher James and time click on link if I was interested in the job
I got a text today from this scammer–blocked him and I did not apply for any job because I’m employed. his number is: 517-342-4824. If he tries to email me, I will follow-up with a full investigation and block that as well.
He did! See me comment above
You guys I’m expercing the same thing with this Dr. Christopher James. His text said I got the job but I’ve not been interviewed. I’ve texted back asking for his company name & picture of his business cards since I can’t find the application that I turned in. His Phone number is 517 342 4824 & email email dr. [email protected]
“Dr. Christopher James” Reach out to me via text first saying that after receiving my application for his role as a personal assistant (which I never applied for) he wanted to further see if I was a good fit by sending me a Google doc link to fill out. This questionnaire asked me for my name, my address, my source of payment a.k.a. my bank name, as well as whether I wanted to be paid weekly or biweekly. After filling it out he emailed me the next day saying I got the job, which I found weird because I never agreed to working for him in the first place. He then proceeded in the email by telling me he wanted me to purchase some toys for children at a foster care. He stated that the money will be wired via FedEx or USPS via a business check of some sort. I found the entire encounter weird because once I asked him for his company email as well as his company name I never received a initial text back, but he still email me back the next day telling me I had received the job. I never feel comfortable with this job offer because I never recalled applying for in the first place. After a quick search on Google, I quickly found that multiple people had been through the same sort of weird encounter. Beware guys if you hear from this “doctor“, do you research and stay smart.

Type of a scam Employment
Stated he found me on indeed and showed a pretty standard receptionist job description. He wanted me to confirm name, address, phone number and bank name to perform a background check. He then congratulated me for getting chosen for the job and told me he was going to send me money to buy toys for a children’s organization, did not contact me for a while after I questioned the job and now he apparently sent me a check for over 4,000 and wanted me to wire it to them. Another number just texted me saying their name is Matthew and he is his insurance. If I don’t comply I will be reported to the FBI. I never received a check and if I ever receive it I’m discarding of it. The other number is 5204224510.
