Juan medina is a scam lol ... I looked up his iP address and traced where he was and he was lying About his location .. he was in ny not out of the state also think about people have u ever heard about a job like this .. when it's too good to be true walk away

Anyone who is reading this please take head, I went to cash two money orders Juan sent me in the mail, luckily the post office was nice enough not to pursue anything. She told me she could have  confiscated the money order. I could have gotten into alot of trouble. Someone needs to report this guy. I was just so excited about finally finding a job, I just jumped right in.

I am so thankful that I read this forum....I almost did it cause I was hard up for cash. There is a FED EX package waiting on my when I get home. I am taking it straight to my local authorities alone with the emails Mr. Medina and I shared. I am tired of people stealing from poor innocent ppl.

Thanks a bunch

the person was said to be "Juan Medina" the messages from him were literally word for word the same exact message as the rest of the posts from other victims before me... i gave him all the info he asked in the first message that's it. OMG thank god i read this forum before i went any farther... I AM SO SORRY TO THE PEOPLE THAT DIDNT SEE THIS AND GOT SCAMMED! but lets make sure to keep letting people know about this guy so we can avoid other people going through this...

* what an A***OLE this person is to do such a awful thing to someone!*

I just got the same thing. really glad i searched this. what should i do if he has my name, address and phone number? report it?

I replied to a job posting to Juan Medina, he e-mailed me the next day saying that he wanted to offer me a job, that he's out of the country, hearing impaired, and that he needs me to run errands for him THIS week and will wire me money to reimburse me. All of it was very fishy, then when I just did quick research about it I saw it's a complete scam. I hope you didn't get ripped off.

I am in the same situation. He offered me a job as his assistant and I just replied to him. How did it turn out for you? Is it a scam? thats why I started looking into it, seems to good to be true- Please let me know. Thanks

I just got the same letter!  Thought it was fishy.  I think I will delete and move forward.  Not that desperate for a job!  Glad I found this forum.

I also received an email after applying for a job found on craigslist. anything that comes from craigs list is subject to an internet search! below is the e-mail i received:

we also got the email and replied to him some details but thanks a ton to this forum that helped me alot

Yeah, his email address is ended with @newyorkagentinsurance. I gave him my address and phone # in an email, but I think that I am still safe

I spoke to the real Juan Medina this morning. He has filed a report with police about this incident. there are many agents who are having their idenities copied in order to perform the fradulent act. Please dont be a victim. Do your research!

that guys allegedly juan medina.. a damn thief if you ask me.

hey so this guy just fed ex the check to me.. what should i do now? what happened to you next...

Yeah I just got the same thing but I haven't accepted any checks or anything I searched the person he wanted me to western union and he is a sex offender and he said he was out of the country then  fedexed me from Ca. so nothing added up.

This is a scam we emailed back and forth and I gave him my phone number that is the only information I gave him. Unless you give you account number or SSN you should be fine. He said the job was for a P.A and the pay was 400 dollars a week, I did not give out my address either.

hey griff did the bank press any charges against u.

thats exactly what happend with me i dint loose a lot of money juz 180 but i concerned with my bank can they press a felony charged against me i m worried coz i m innocent i have got on idea what should i do please let me know what should i do.......

hey i m a victim of this scam a guy black guy with united states postal service folder came on my door step and gave me the parcel with 2 check with it and i deposited 1 check with amount of 2950 and it allowed me 2 withdraw 200 dollars so he tld me to withdraw n send it Ghana through western union and i send it next day he told me 2 withdraw rest of the money keep 100 dollars for my self and send rest to some florida address through western union and whn i went to the bank i came 2 know its was a fraud check and the bank cancled my account now i dnt knw wht shuld i do i m jobless n was looking 4 a job and end up in this s*** now i dnt knw wht shuld i do.......

Did you give out your personal info? Should I call the police?

So he gave me his account number and it is posting a payment. Is this a fake payment? What should I do- do I call the police? I have not given any of my personal information

Yes it is a scam I am negative 2000 dollars because of this and now  I can't do akything about it

Did he offer you a job as his personal assistant?  I got the same number.  The name of the guy is Juan Medina he said he is a New York Insurance Agent.  He said he is hearing impaired so he prefer sms.  Please let me know, we've been exchanging e-mails for two days already.

Yes, it's a scam.  They send you a fake check and ask you to deposit it in your bank account... and to wire a portion of it to them or to an accomplice.  Then the check bounces and you get stuck for the whole amount.
Tell them you have no checking account and that you want them to wire the money to you.

So it is a scam?  I have the same situation right now. An alleged insurance agent is contacting me saying I got this job as a personal assistant. I haven't been scammed yet, but I feel it coming. We are starting to discuss pay and he is talking about sending a check.

Please tell me the details and what to expect. Email me at mushawith88@gmail.com please with the info

I don't understand. How did they steal money from you? Did they have any personal information such as your account number?

this guy offered me a job and i accepted because i need moeny to suport my family then he said he was gona send me check and send it to someone else ends up i took out my own money but saved some before they stole the rest he said just text this number not call
