is it a real check????

And it's a fake!

I got a check!!!.....

I also got the samTe email but it was from Faith O'Cornell. These people or person is really something else!

Did any one cash this so called check ?

This is a check scam reported in August 2013!

I for got to put that she email the number 213-375-4158. Deborahturner286@outlook.com. BEWARE

Don't fall for this con job, I see where countless people have been called from this number and the person keeps changeing his or her name. But the number is the same, be careful. The person that sent me an email goes by the name Deborah Turner, she says she is 52 with 2 kids just as this Sarah Andrews did. So if any one gets an email from deborahturner286@outlook.com please don't believe it.

This is the message I got from the craigslist warehouse job posting: Same number but it's from "Sarah Thomas"

Oooooh my Gooodness, i got the exact email few days ago but this time it was from Mrs. Sarah James. If i wouldn't have googled her number i swear i wouldn't have known if it was a scam. Thank you so much, lesson learned. And now i'm not going to email this fool back or reply to her text messages.

I receivded the following message from a Maria Josh from "ELCO Plastics, INC" for a warehouse position, offering $500.00 a week for 12 hours of work, and the job lasted for 8 Weeks. I typed in elco plastics in google and the first link was http://www.elcoplastics.us/ and I got this message:

The ELCo Plastics Division of ELCo Enterprises is no longer active.

If you have responded to a job opening listed for ELCo Plastics, we apologize but ELCo Plastics has no openings. We have not posted any positions on the internet and you may be involved in an internet scam. Do not provide any personal information to anyone claiming to be from ELCo Plastics.

I got a text from Sarah Andrew also today. I was sent a Cashier's Check. I haven't cashed it yet.  I'm seriously considering going to the authorities with this. I have kept all the emails both to and from her. And after reading what I have read here, I believe that this is a scam.

This is one of the msg. i recieved from a "Sarah Andrew". This is after I called bull on the craigslist warehouse job. Which now has nothing to do with warehouse work. I am supposed to be a arrond boy for this lady and get paid 400 a week. No money has changed hands yet but I am supposed to receive job instructions any day now. If I was not so damn desperate for work I would have seen this coming a mile away. I am a honest, hard working individual and my family and I are in financial trouble so of course I jumped on this. Now I think I just wasted my time.

( I hope you had a great weekend , Here is my number ok 213) 375-4158 ..Im 52 with 2 kids. A successful entrepreneur. I can't indulge myself in any bad act. I'm not here to play games neither am here to waste my time..I only gave you this job cos i believe you can handle it for me and also pay your bills..I hope my decision will be worthwhile. I'll be using the next couple of weeks to test your efficiency and diligence towards this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine.I'm confident you can take up the challenge and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us.I hope we can get a head start with things as soon as possible. I have had to put a hold on a lot and I would appreciate it if you can be available for me immediately. I do have a couple of urgent tasks for you this week.I will update you further on this giving you a comprehensive list on how to go about them. You just take care of yourself and have a great day.)

I also responded to a craigslist wanted warehouse/delivery worker ad, I have received weird emails from this selena Johnson, don't fall for it!

I also replyed to this ad and shortly after I received in the mail a check for 2,753 dollars which I was suposed to deposit into my account and wire over half the money out of the country. Obviously a scam. I ripped up the check and threw it in the trash. Beware.

this is a very weird thing had anyone reported this the the police

I also did the same with the warehouse position  on craigslist and some guy name brian texted me also. I didnt bother reply its kind of creeping me out

Did u ever get check?

Shortly after responding to an add on craigslist.org for a warehouse position, I received a text message from a person named Jill. This person made reference to this add and told me I will receive a text message with a 5 digits code that I should text back to this phone number. I received the text message with a 6 digits code number however I responded that I will not continue doing this on texts and that I wantedd the name or website of this company. The person replied that they do not give their information to unregister person that I must give the 5 digits code to be registered.

I provided the 6 digits code I was texted from another mobile number (714-631-9924), I have not received a reply from either number. I proceed to reporting the Craigslist add as a spam.
