Victim Location 90029
Type of a scam Employment
I have been looking for a flex part time position. I receive an email about a business looking for a Virtual Office Assistant. The hours were flexible and for only 3 days a week. The pay would vary based on experience and knowledge from $500 to $850;a week. It was almost too good to be true.
I answered I was interested (to see if this was a legitimate business and position).
I received an email back asking for my full name( which I did not provide full name) and my age.
I received another email about a week later stating after extensive back ground checks I got the position.
The email was from Mario Vestergaard, listing all the duties of the position: 1. I’ll be receiving emails from customers
And suppliers , 2. All of his emails will be coming to my email 3. Scheduling his travels and setting those up.
( no mention of suppling me the companies credit card)
I looked up the Gallery, there is a website however, there was no phone number to contact the gallery.
I looked up the Gaard-Sheeq Art Gallery in the Better Business Bureau , this company did not exist.
The person name is Mario Vestergaard, no such person exists. This person’s address is a P.O. Box 7812 , Los Angeles, CA 90029. What made me suspicious was the pay was too good to be true, no such business exists, and as a CEO of a company he should have his own website, which this person did not.
He also stated I could start Monday June 3, but he will be in Canada but all his emails will start coming to me immediately when I did not even accept the position yet.
