I just got an email from Joseph Lancaster from lijca construction .. Did your check ever come in the mail?

I got the EXACT same email from Robbie Anderson. It felt weird because there was not enough information and they weren't asking many questions for me either. Then I got a check in the mail for almost 2,000 dollars, which seemed very off, since I never actually confirmed any plans.

Glad I checked on here!

Did you ever get that check? what happened? I just got the same email about the check being in the mail and I checked out the tracking number, something is being shipped to my house. Im just wondering if I deposit it, and they going to be able to get into my account.

i got the same message- I did give out my information- omg -do you think it is identity theft?
should i worry? what should i do?

Just got the same email! WTF?? His name shows as Joseph Lancasterand his email is:  j.lan202020@gmail.com. Same story he is currently in Canada, bla bla bla.PEOPLE DONT USE YOUR HOME ADDRESS ON YOUR RESUME! i stopped doing that a while ago!

Funny thing is a googled him to, thank god . Really creepy tho !!!

Omg I got an email from him to, I'm freakin out because my address is on the resume ... And I had a bad feeling he was a scam , Sin a he was the only job using a gmail account

i got the same guy!

Hello i just received an email from Joseph as well and he now using another email which is josephlancaster745@gmail.com So be aware of the new address!

Dang. And I was getting excited lol

I just received this same email. As well as one from a dr that supposedly is an artist. Yea....artist of scams. Lol. This one was ironic to me because I received one the day before that was also from an artist but with a different name

I just received the same exact email!  I too have been scammed before, so I decided to Google the company and found your message was exactly like mine.  I am so glad I checked this company out before falling for another scam!  It is a pure shame that people can't post a legitimate job offer knowing how hard jobs are to find.  I truly pray that someday these people will be removed from the internet and no one ever fall s for these scams!

I've been scammed by the same exact guy. Now, however, he is going under the name of Kirk Kolenbrander from MIT. After some investigating and searching, found it was a fraud. After reading the emails that others of you have received, I have received the same exact ones- verbatim. Unfortunately, I did give him some personal information: Name, address, phone number. Hopefully, this information will be limited enough for him to not alter any personal identification, etc. Glad I caught this now before it went too far. He used the number: 276-690-7026 and email: info@webmit.org.

Yes, it's a scam.  However he just mailed me a check for $2000.00.  Now I THINK HE IS GOING TO HAVE THE LAST LAUGH WHEN I TURN THIS OVER TO THE FBI

Hi, My situation is the same. However, the individual is claiming to be a VP/Secretary from MIT. Same scenario with pay. The I replied with email that I'm no longer interested. However, I received email this morning that check has been sent with USPS tracking number. for first week pay and money for errands. I'm going to refuse mail and returned to sender. Sounds like SCAM to me...Thank you all for your postings.

I bet if we really wanted to we could set him up . You in? I've got the perfect plan

I'm in the same boat buddy , it could be worse though . Don't let the scammer keep you down , and good luck with your job search

Saw craigslist add for min wage factory picker/packer . Sent email and a mr. Robbie Anderson replied with much enthusim with a subject line for a different job . He then proceeded to text me , and actually sent me a check for $1,980.00 telling me to tell him when I deposit it . Within first contact "he " was well aware I'm 17. Who would send a check to me for that much without so much as an interview?! . Which he mentioned would be held in a few weeks . And told me it was my salary pulse funds to rent warehouse space. Saying I was to meet up with one of his assosiote. And blah blah bullsheit . This is a total scam. Sad. Desperate . Manipulative . Cruel. Organized  . Load of sheit. This is yet another reason so many of us all lose hope in humanity . So I'll stick to my grimy job washing dishes and I'll just hold onto this check I refer to as my "Monopoly money" . Never gunna cash it or deposite or nothin' just gunna prank my friends . Maybe rip off a drug dealer who knows , but please if you're in a situation like this treat it with humor like myself and laugh at these scumbag scammers that take advantage of the working class. I'm glad i didn't fall for it , and I hope that if you're reading this you won't either . But I am remorseful for all those who were swept up in the trap . It's nothing people . It's a scam truthfully. A F'CKING JOKE. Don't waste your time

OMG Just got the same Emails from this Joseph Lancosta thank God I googled him before I did something stupid!!!!

Now I am worried, he does have my Resume.  I wonder what his motives are.  Scarey

WOW!!  Glad I checked his name out.   I got the same email off Craigs List! He used Joseph Lancasta this time.  He's been in Canada for quite awhile/  Must be walking back from Canada to Jersey...lol  Maybe he got stuck at the border since he's supposed to be here in 2 weeks and mailing me a check and list of assignments.

Not really funny in the day and time when we are all looking for a stable source of income.  Shame on him for preying on good people who need a job and want to work and for trusting in people.

This is what he wrote back to my response on May 7, 2014:

Did u attempt to cash the check

I'm a sucker.  Received check for over $2,000 for expenses and payroll.  Robbie Anderson father of two bla bla.  I read that this is a scam.  Robbie Anderson is not listed as an employee with Main Corp.  I have not deposited the check as I believe it fraudulent.

He contacted me too.  Same story! Now his email is Joseph.lancostaa@gmail.com

That's my nephews name!!

This guy Robbie Anderson sounded sincere and came across as very successful in his emails. Initially, when I looked up his company on the Internet, a page came up for a company based in Australia, but, interestingly enough, no personnel names could be accessed, Later, when I wanted to look up the company again, that webpage was totally gone. As time went on and his promises became more empty it started shouting SCAM! to me.My friend suggested that I forward his information to the FBI, but since "he" uses so many names and aliases,THEY would probably have trouble tracking him down. What kind of weirdo gets off on raising unemployed peoples' hopes and then dashing them again? "He" or "she" needs help of the psychological kind, or best of all - to find Christ and start living for Him.

just got this same exact email smh
