I received the check in the mail today!  I called bank that is written on and they said it was a bad check... He texted me and asked did I deposit the check. I informed him that the FBI is investing the scam... Amazing! (Jeremy Harper) alias
..

I also received it, I wrote back telling them i had reported it to the FBI as a scam.    THey are obviously on every job search engine ...you would think that the authorities would prosecute them.  

Thanks to all of you for posting, if we stick together they will grow less.

No way! The email I received looks exacly like this ... Glad I took the time to research this idiot!

I received that same email yesterday & it was very tempting to get my hopes up. It is very sad that in these times my first instinct was to see what kind of scam this was. I don't see how these people can sleep at night. This does little to help my trust issues. Damn you Charles Jameson.

Gah!! People today.. Gotta love and hate the net! I recently received the same email only the guy changed his name and has a different site up. I agree that if this job offer were true... It'd be pretty darn awesome.

This a$$ contacted me once on craigslist in March and now once on career builder.  In March he sent me a USPS MO.  This time - he just sent me an email.  I was smart enough though.  Now I contacted the FBI.  All you can do is create a complaint on the FBI website.

In March he was James Wilcox, Today he was Charles.  What a joke

the one i received is under a different number. 647-700-6703.

I got the same job offer 2...

Just got this email about this moron too! Glad I googled the number before i did anything. Thanks for all the post.

I got the same email and it went futher than that. Who did you report it too?

Girl, Hate to breake to you. I did the same thing that is was perfect and the check cleared but four days later it came back... Hate to say it you got scamed as well!!!! you can email me for more information S.Sanchez0421@gmail.com

the number was 647 701 0923 he offered to put 3980 in cash inside my account smh

Okay, so I confirmed with my bank that the funds WERE received from the other bank and got a signed statement from my bank.  So, I call the guy, Andrew (not real name) Katz, and he says for me to with draw $3600 out of a $3800 check.  So, I did.  I figured if the bank says they got their money then maybe I really DO have a job.  So, I called Andrew back and asked him about the WORK part of it and he said something about 'Thursday'.  Then I said that he needed to give me more information about his company and he said that he already told me it is an IT Consulting company.  I could not get any more information, so at that point I decided I didn't want to play anymore.  So, he told me to go to Western Union and send $2,000 to one guy (I have his contact info) and $1,000 to another guy (I also have his contact info).  So, I told him no.  I told him that I don't mind paying vendors if he is setting up an office, but that I don't feel comfortable wiring the money to anyone.  Then he FLIPPED!  I have turned the information, contacts, emails, text messages, and of course the money, over to the FBI.  I have numerous text messages (with 2 or 3 different phone numbers), various emails, etc.  I am also under police protection.  The last 2 text messages that I got from him was that the info he sent me was 'you Fool...the info I sent you is fake...lol' (info to send money thru Western Union), which I doubt since this money would have really gone to those places so it HAD to be correct,,,,and the last message I got said, "F*** You" (sorry about the language, but those were his exact text words).

Now, does anyone REALLY want to go through what I have just gone through?  naw, I didn't think so.

Okay, it looks to me like this is real.  I have spoken to Andrew 10+ times, communicated by text several times a day, the check has cleared - no problems.  Sorry, you guys missed out on this excellent job opportunity.  I took it, and I am not sorry.  Sharon Reynolds

Yes I did and there seems to be alot more where they came from.  Some of the sites have postings on them and they are not real jobs.  Pay very close attention to who you do apply for.  I have been checking out the company name on the web before I even apply since I received my email from them.

I got this same email and have spoke to 'Andrew' about 4 times.  He wanted to make sure I knew PowerPoint well and said they will be opening an office in the downtown area.  I already deposited the 'cashiers check'.  What if I keep the money and Scam the Scammer???  Can I?

I received the same email last night around 10:30 pm , That in it self was fishy who sends out an email at that time offering you 1,000 weekly without an interview process . no information on office location just information about a cashiers check for reservations of a car rental and hotel . If its a cooperation he would be using a corporate card for all travel arragements .

I too got the same email. I knew it was to good to be true. I also goggled the company name and found all these postings. I hope they find him and who ever is behind this. The unfortunate part is that he could be using.wifi to email us and thats not easy to tract. I am so glad I didn't send him any info. I.will be contacting careerbuilder about this, I hope you all will too.

Yes. Thank you for the heads up. I am glad you all are speaking out so we don't get hurt. We are just looking for a job, for Christ sakes. These people are worth less than the gum on the chair of a bus.

Yes this is a scam if anyone ask you  for information ...never...never ...never give it out...this must be reported to Career Builder right away...people should know we can use the internet to find out things and if this is a scam it will be posted asap....thanks ladies...keep passing on the info...

I just got that message yesterday I sent my info in I looked it up in seen what you guys are writing I feel so dumb I should have new it was a scam I told my family just now about everything I can't believe this I never thought this would have happen to me I sent my info now I have my while family looking out in wewatching out for me in this scam I'm so glad I looked it up.

CRAP I did send him my information. How can he hurt me? This is scary. I of course, will not accept a check from him. Could he trace my account information? What can we do to stop this guy? What is in it from him?

CRAP I got this too and was so excited. What a jerk to do this to people.
Thanks for the head's up.

I have received this email as well, this "Andrew" guy suggests in the msg to google the company since the server is down. I did and found all these postings here!!!

Amazing how many scams are out there on careerbuilder, indeed and the like. When we expect to get a phone call for a real job, these scammers are actually getting our email addresses to send us spam mail !!!

How sad !!!!

If you respond to a craigslist ad that has no local address or phone number, do NOT include your resume with your email - make sure they are legit first!

This is the exact same email I got! My aunt told me that it may be a scam cause it was too good to be tru and I know the difference between a website being down and one not being created at all. This was a complete scam
