I FOUND THIS POSED BY SOMEONE ELSE ON LINE

I am not a stupid person. I am so careful. I had applied online to so many jobs and then I posted on Craigslist. bam! I'm hit. I have had a few e-mails from James Brown. I at first thought he had my resume so I saw no harm in filling out the name, address ,age phone number,etc, no bank info...and then the e-mails got more strange. He wants me to buy checks and check printing software and he will give me further instructions. below is the first mailing I got. What can he do with my name and address? I re-sent him my resume, even a picture! I am so stupid! can someone plese help me understand if he can do anything with my information or waht he intended to do with the checks? I asked him questions we even chated on I.M. he instructed me to get back on line at noon and to have the software uploaded.

shortly after i got another e-mail just like it from a different person. I already sent my info. i asked him about it and this was his reply

Hello ,

Hope all is moving on smooth and fine with you overthere ? Am glad to read back from you .

The message was still being sent by one of my Co-Lawyer as i let them know i needed a PA , so they are also helping me to search . I just told few of them not to search again that i already have a Personal Assistant so dont let that bothers you and dont respond to any Message you get from them

I received your application,I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point.

Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules, it's a part-time, work from home basis and the flexibilty means that there will be busier weeks than others, so it's a little difficult judging the exact number of hours you'll be doing per week.If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extra while you do something else on the side.


As I have said, I'd want us to get a head start with things as soon as possible. I do have a pile up of work and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with, I hope we can meet up with the workload eventually. Permit me to use this coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards all this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. I really need to find the perfect person for this job, I'm confident you can take up the challenge and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us.

I am glad you are willing to work with me and i promise to be a good boss.I am also glad on the commitment in working. I have been checking my files and what i would want you to do for me this week is to do shopping for office equipment/printing materials for my new office,A check will be mail to you from a Client this week , the money is needed to get some Tools need for my new office.

So the payment you are receiving is for my Client and the Money is Needed to furnish my New Office , the Money is needed to get some Equipments and tools into the Office .

So once you received the Check all needed of you to do is for you to deduct your $500 weekly Pay from it and send the remaining money to the Manager to arrnage those Tools inside the Office ,
