Type of a scam Employment
Hello, I am a pet sitter I got a reply to my ad saying “How are you doing? After reviewing your Online AD and background I would like to consider you for the Pet sitter position for my beloved Dog Luke. My name is Patrick J Rusheleau, I was in the Military and work as part of a Cruise Team so I am away quite often which is why I need your service I’m looking for a Pet sitter to take care of my Havanese fur baby especially when I’m away and help manage some duties surrounding my home ..”
After this his “previous nanny” who had to take a leave of absence for her premature baby would interview me for the job
I called that night and We talked on the phone for a good half hour and she seemed VERY legit. Telling me specifics of what to do for Luke the dog.
Both her and “Patrick” asked me to buy $800 worth of STEAM gaming cards for his work??? Makes no sense and he got angry when I said I couldn’t. He sent me a FRAUD check for 2 thousand dollars and later when I said I didn’t want to work for him he told me to send the cash back (I never cashed it and contacted police way before) Watch out for him and this girl “Jeanette” the police were contacted and I have a case number for if he contacts me again. I tried to lead him on to get as much info as possible. He doesn’t want to meet, he just wants the cards and clear pictures of them scratched off. ***!!!!! I’m just trying to pet sit.
