Take the check to the bank. Have the bank inspect the check. DO NOT! DO NOT! deposit the check. All you have to do is contact the sender & tell them the bank is examining the check, & you won't deposit it until they do. The job offer you received is a well known scam. It's usually (a) Mystery Shopper (b) Personal Assistant. It involves you depositing the check, then you will be asked to forward money by wire transfer. (Western Union, GreenDot, MoneyGram, etc.) That's the scam. You send cash - you have a bounced check.

I just received a certified cashiers check in the mail from David Colby of Canada stating her will be here tomorrow to open his business in Tucson, AZ the amount on the cashiers check was just over 6 thousand dollars, what so you think I should do?

I was contacted by this
David Colby and yes he said he was from Canada and also in California. He said his company was opening its doors between my town and Fortworth texas on March 21, 2014

I have been hired in phoenix arizona by David Colby 289-946-2789. His company is MCLR Consulting. Well I guess the vacation cruise is off now since I wont be making all that money.....

I just got an email from David Colby too.  Aclrconsulting.com.  Seems pretty fishy.  289 946 2789 is the phone number.

I received an email with this number 289 946 2789. A Personal Assistant position. Man named David Colby ???, was a scammer....right? Man said he was from Canada, wanted to open new business somewhere in the USA.

Marcus Steeles told me he was opening an office in the Ft. Worth, Tx area. He wanted me to be his personal assistant to open up the business there. He offered a to good to be true salary with wonderful benefit package. He offered to pay my relocation fees for the move to Ft Worth. I have never felt more betrayed by anyone like this a--hole. Beware of this company Avct Consult stating they are an IT Company trying to relocate to the Texas area.

Yes, he claimed he was moving to Austin next week.

Did he claim he was moving to Austin in a few weeks

Did he claim he was moving to Austin?

They contacted me through Careerbuilders.com to offer me a job.  Man's name was Marcus Steeles.  He said he is sending me a check to open an office for him in Austin.  They have a website that went online 2 days ago.  www.avctconsult.com
