Thanks for sharing this information. The fact of the matter is this whole situation is a scam. Often scam artist will reference a real company’s name and address so when you do your research then it will come up clean. However if you actually try contacting the company using the information on their website and not the email you received (which is usually from a free email account like yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc), you’ll usually find the company has no idea what you’re referring to. But even if a scammer goes through this extra step of deceit, it’s still easy to figure out it’s a fat scam. It’s nothing more than an elaborate check cashing/ wire transfer scam we’ve covered on our scam page:

This is why I’m always preaching read that page from top to bottom because you’ll find stories of other so called companies doing the same thing. The names may be different but the scam is always the same.
In terms of the check or wire fraud, it always works as follows regardless of the name and other details. You receive a check or a fake deposit into your account, you take a portion of that money and they keep the rest. The checks and wires are always fake and you end up in a heap of trouble with your bank. End of story. Any variations before that doesn’t matter. Once they start taking about checks, wiring money, etc, etc that’s the end of the conversation. lol

At the end of the day your instincts are usually correct in these situations. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. I’m mean think about it, why would a company offer you job that you never applied for. Furthermore why would they allow you to handle such large amounts of money without any interview, background check, references, face to face meeting, etc. It literally doesn’t add up. But do your part and spread the word to the Attorney General. They will probably contact the legit company that this scammer may be imposing.
