I received this email over the holidays and responded my interest. Today I received a check for $2850 via fed express and I had no idea what it was for. I now know that it was for this "position" with Hughes Supply due to an email I just received. They wanted me to just deposit it into my bank account and they would send instructions afterward as to what I was to do with this money. A huge red flag went up and I decided to investigate. Thank goodness I came across this site. I will not be depositing this check although I can use it. I have no idea just how much trouble this would have gotten me into if I had though.

@tulsalass26, Welcome to AFI. A very good move to check this out first.

I have no idea just how much trouble this would have gotten me into if I had though.

It could have landed you in a LOT of trouble, being in possession of a forged instrument could have landed you in jail! as well as being stuck with having to repay any money that you sent to the scammers back to the bank when the forged or stolen cheque bounced.

The scammer would have asked you to cash the bad cheque and send most of the money to him, probably via western union or money gram so that he could pick it up and then disappear with it!

If you are in USA then please take the cheque and any details along to your postmaster as they deal with these things now!

@tulsalass26,

If you would contact an administrator we would like the FedEx Information. Thank you.

[tulsalass26]

Sadly I no longer have the information requested. I tore the check up and threw it away along with the FedEx pkg. The person whose name it was sent under has been scammed by the actual sender as he has gotten access to her FedEx account information and now she is out hundreds of dollars. I found this out because I was contacted by a person last night who was given my name to send money to by an Adam Green. Adam Green had contacted this person through email wanting her to translate a book he has written. As she does this for a living she explained her fees and handling of the transaction. On the same day that I received my FedEx envelope she received hers with a check for $4850 and was told to deposit it in her bank account and to send the remaining money to my name by money wire. She took the check to her bank just see how fraudulent it was and the addresses didn't match up. She wasn't planning on depositing it as she figured out this was a scam also. She then followed up with a phone call to the FedEx senders name on the envelope. And of course this person had no idea what had been going on. She now realizes that someone hacked into her account and is charging all of these FedEx deliveries under her name. She is now handling it herself. I'm just thankful that I had enough sense to not fall for this scam and so is the person who contacted me last night. We're just really creeped out by the whole thing as neither of us has ever been scammed before.

i got the same e mail from michael armstrong 11/19/2008 i also got a check in the mail saturday 4,850.00 from

new hanover county general account 230 goverment drive suite195 wilmington nc 58403 signed bruce shell wich i found out

to be county manager north carolina

[tulsalass26]

Okay, I received another check today for $4850 and this time I haven't torn it up. It was sent by FedEx from a Jackie Hook with a phone number. I called the number but got a recording stating that I needed to update the account for the phone call. I will be making a photo copy of the check which was made out supposedly by Schlumberger out of Sugar Land TX. This is an oil and gas co. and I'm sure that they did not issue this check but instead it's the same jerk as above. I'd like to know what I should do with all of this information. I'm really getting worried about this person's insistence on involving me this scam. I've sent them an email telling them that I know what they are up and that this is a scam and to stop contacting me but they sent me another check instead. Persistent little ........well, you know what's!

i just got a check in the mail sat 4,8500.00 got e mail today same thing they would get back with me

[tulsalass26]

So far this is what I have done with my second check that I received today for $4850. I notified Schlumberger Oil and Gas Co by email about the check in their name and they responded by thanking me for the information and for me to contact my local police dept. They are already aware of fraudulent job offers using their information but my situation was new to them. I have made a copy of the check sent to and created a folder with the emails sent to me pertaining to the job offer from Hughes Supply Inc. I guess that my next action will be to notify my local police dept. If there is anything else that I should do please let me know. I've become greatly concerned that I'm being dragged, kicking and screaming, into something very bad. I just need to know how to protect myself. Any information would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I tracked the pkg that I received today through FedEx website. It originated in Denver, CO but the address on the FedEx envelope is out of Leo, IN.

Hi tulsalass26

and to AFI as I haven't contacted you before.

OK - I assume you are in the USA! I am on the other side of the Atlatic Ocean.

You need to keep all the evidence and make sure you don't try to bank that check! I believe the US Postal Inspection service are the usual channel for reporting fake check frauds. You could ask for their advice making sure you tell them that you haven't tried to cash the checks and still have most of the evidence. You can ask one of the administrators here for further help by using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of every page.

What you have done by alerting the people at Schumberger is a good thing. They will know that you are honest and are not part of the criminal's conspiracy.

Best wishes, and don't forget to use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of every page. You may like to have a look at the "Private Message" system as well, at the top by the login name. You can find all the active administrators and moderators by using the link Your friendly neighborhood admin team - the Admins are all at the top of the list that way.
