Type of a scam Employment
Sammer contacted me via email with an offer to work as a representative of Sarl Evasion in the US. I read the job description and filled out an application. he promised to pay $ 200 a month + 5% benefit for successful completion of workload. he hired me without any interview but he kept refering to our interview in his email. Mr. Arneaud announced a training which never happened. Instead he had some companiy named Santa Fe furnishings send a check of $ 2,367.62. He instructed me to cash it and wire it to him.. I got the USPS delivered-package but i am suspicious about the whole deal. Tonight I emailed him this letter:
Dear Bruneau,
I received an envelope with a check and a paper outlining some fees, on Saturday and proceeded to contact my bank, regarding the content and the check cashing procedure outlined in your previous mail. I do not feel comfortable cashing this check and need to consult with my lawyer and Wells Fargo. The check is still under Wachovia Bank and i need some clarification. I was expecting a formal training and not cashing a check so early. I never started a training by dealing with money. I need to know why the check should transit by me, and why I have to cash it, when Santa Fe Furnishing could have sent it to you. Why do you trust a new recruit with money when you know nothing about his background. Here, as you may know, people undergo a background check.
PS: I suspect that it is a scam. I am still waiting to see what is going to happen.
