Type of a scam Employment
I got an E mail from Martin Gills and signed up to be a secret shopper. Before I do anything, he is sending me a cahiers check From Fulton Bank check number number 1000297253, routing number 031301422 and then where account number is *** 00091. I note the check number is on the bottom left, where I usually see the routing number.
The check is for 2875 and they want me to keep 250 for my salary and 125 for Western Union charges and send the balance to Turkey. Again, the individual wants me to send 2500 to Turkey to Martin Gills, Istanbul, Turkey postal code 34000.
