I applied for a position through LinkedIn for Administrative Assistant and Personal Assistant. I received an email from an email listed to a Michael Giles not too much later stating that the position for Administrative Assistant had been filled but an opportunity for Personal Assistant was still open if I was interested. I was to confirm my information and receive a check in the mail by fedex the next morning with my first weeks salary. I was to use this check to pay myself and use what was left over to purchase toys for orphaned children and mail them to addresses that would be provided for me at a later time. Once they received confirmation the checked had been delivered. I received a text message saying, "Once your check has been received, deposit through your banks ATM Machine or do a Mobile Deposit if you are too busy to make it to your bank today. P.S. Email a copy of deposit slip and send me a text to my phone for more records.( [email protected])"
The BBB contacted the company and was informed that they have no one by that name working for them.
