Job Scam
Craigslist (craiglist.com) |  +1 Untitled Job Scam on Craigslist (craiglist.com), ref:22419 I applied for this office job as a personal assistant and then received an email from "Elizabeth" saying I was hired and would only need to work 3 days a week, 4 hours a day for $480/week. She only communicated thru text and email due to some made up hearing injury. She said she sends money to orphanages and within 2 days, overnights me a FAKE certified check through FedEx for $2748.47 and asks me to deposit it into my account and keep my $480 and send the rest to the orphanage thru moneygram. Thank God I found this site and realized it was a scam!!! I Have not reply to her or answer her tex message

I applied for a position posted on craigslist for office assistant and received a email from this Elizabeth congratulating me on the new job. She said there would be a $480.00 dollar salary working 4 days a week, 4 hours each day. They also stated they had a hearing problem and therefor they could not communicate through phone calls. They said they would send a check for over $2,000 via fedex. They did send the check immediately and asked me to cash it or deposit it to my account. I knew it was a scan right away so i took it to my bank and they confirmed it. They kept texting asking why i was taking so long but i never replied. BE AWARE!!! If i was to have cashed that checked and then it would of bounced the money would have been taken out of my account. BE VERY CAREFUL AND LOOKOUT FOR THIS SCAM. I AM SURE THEY'LL TRY TO DO IT TO OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL.
Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
