I was then instructed that they were going to send me a check to deposit and do a transfer to another account. I asked why their accounting department could not do an ACH wire transfer. When I informed them that there was no Wells Fargo or Bank of America located here that did cash deposit/advance I was then asked to seek Moneygram at Walmart. The wanted to send me an e-check and have me to say I was sending monies personal in nature to these individuals.

I refused and contacted the FBI IC3 and filed a complaint. I then did more research and found that when I called the locations of this SDL plc, to verify the employment of this so-called employee that had been with them for 7 years, the same female was on each voice mail and I could not get in contact with anyone.

I believe this is an employment scam and needs further investigation. I am attaching the web address for review. http://www.sdl.com/contact/
