Subject: RE: Office Assistant
Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2010 14:48:40 -0400

Hello,

Hope you're having a pleasant day today

You contacted me applying for the position which I advertised on Craigslist. Do take time to go through this introductory mail and feel free to pass any questions on.

My profile briefly:

I'm John Harrison, 50, and a father of 2 wonderful kids, a successful entrepreneur and investor, a member of the Angel Investment Network. I'm also a research journalist and I travel every now and then within and outside the US working on various independent projects, this is why I need someone who can help keep up to date with all of my activities especially when I'm away and amidst my busy schedule.

I have had a previous PA who has been very commendable in her activities and who has been part of my life for the past 6 months, she has since moved on with her personal life and it has affected me in a way. I found her previously on the craigslist website and I sincerely hope I will be able to find someone again who will be as efficient as she has been.

Please note that you are being hired only on a personal level. All correspondences would be made and promptly reported to me personally. The position is part time and home-based meaning you can work most times from your home as long as you have a regular internet access. You are also hired on a trial basis for now until am able to see how well you fit in, this however does not affect your weekly wage.

Most of your activities will be carried out locally and most official packages will be delivered via posts. You will be actively involved in my personal, business and financial life. In summary, your activities as my assistant amongst other things will include;

* Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence;
* Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring;
* Organizing and maintaining diaries, memos and making appointments;
* Dealing with incoming email, faxes and post;
* Carrying out background research and presenting findings;
* A personal reminder for Schedules, programs, flights and keeping me up to date with them as they come up;
* Arranging travel and accommodation
* Carrying out specific projects and research;
* Taking on some of the my responsibilities and working more closely with management and other staff related to me;
* Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
* Handling and monitoring financial activities.
* Processing and taking charge of weekly payments and purchases.
* You will also be a part of my household and a helping hand to issues as they arise.
* General clerical activities.

Basic wage is $450 a week.

Any extra personal expenses (transport, gas, etc) incurred by you while on an errand or otherwise will also be reimbursed by me at the end of each working week.

This position is very flexible and it is difficult judging the exact number of hours you will be doing, just bear it in mind that there will be busier weeks than others with a steady pay. Working with me is basically about instructions and following them, my only fear is that I may come at you impromptu sometimes, so I need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings. There is also a very sensitive issue on trust, dedication and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on.

This is only an introductory e-mail, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting to get things started officially. I'm currently in England now for a project, however, I do have a number of things you could help me with immediately, prior to my arrival.

Due to the excessive number of responses to my Ad, do provide the following details about yourself for my personal record update and to filter applicants;

Full Names
Full Contact Address (Not p o box Address)
City
State
Zip Code
Phone Number (H)
Phone Number (M)
Occupation (if any)
Sex
Marital status
Age

I hope you can be available for me immediately before I arrive, it certainly can act as a stable foundation to our impending working relationship.

Hope to hear from you again.

Regards
John Harrison

Subject: Pay update
Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2010 09:20:55 -0400

Hello ME,

How are you doing today? I hope you are having a great time, I am pleased to inform you that the funds for the orphanage has been sent and you will be getting it any moment from now via FedEx courier service. Here is the tracking number log on to www.fedex.com/us to trace the package [protected], the amount on the pay check is $4330 and it has been sent to your home address, so ensure you stay at home so you can sign for the delivery of the package and proceed with your first assignment.

However, I contacted the orphanage home and I was given the list of the items needed, The items are much and it will cost a lot of money to get them shipped, so we have reached an accord. They will be getting the items themselves and I was also told that one of the kid was admitted in the hospital and need attention on a surgery, all you need do is just to receive the payment, have it cashed at your bank deduct your $450 for the week and $50 for gas, then you have the remaining funds sent via western union money transfer to the orphanage home.

Below is the Orphanage Western Union information to send the funds..

Receiver's Name: REUBEN JOSEPH
Address: 150 Broadway, 12th Floor,
City: New York,
State: NY,
Zip code: 10036

when sending the funds, ensure you send it using the money in minute option.

Kindly get back to me with the ful details you used in sending the money, like Western Union MTCN #, the Total Amount sent, and the Sender's Name and Address as soon as you have the funds sent.

I will be waiting to read back from you Asap and I also have some other assignment for you to be done.

I want you to be rest assured that I'll never stress you at all in any assignment given to you and I promise to pay your fee weekly as we both agreed.

Take good care of yourself and have a blessed day.

Thanks
John

For one, you have no right what-so-ever to talk to me like that. I may be 18, but i am not stupid. How do you give me a check thats dated before we even spoke? ###? I believe so, Reuben Joseph showed up as a attorneys office in New York. the bank on tha check was barely reachable, & you will not have me putting fake money into a bank account (which I dont have, thanks for asking)just so you can attempt to what?... clear out the account? You wont have the pleasure of doing so. By the way, You didnt even tell me the correct amount for the check.

Status of the payments: The check hasn't even been tried.
So therefore, no payments have been made.
You can speak to your attorney.. I could careless.

On another note.. if you were in "England", how did you get back to NJ so quick to send this fraudelant check?

THE PATHETIC IDIOT HASNT WROTE BACK YET.. BUT IM REALLY INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT HE WILL SAY NEXT.

I just want to add this latest one that came thru my email from Dec. 19th, 2016... I responded to them on the same day. Then they sent me the exact same respond as said in most of you guys comments... So, I couldn't help myself but said what I really wanted to throw at them!
All I can say as a friendly advice people let others know about these kinds of EVIL people out there!

Would like you to work from home? Can you spare 1-2 hrs of your time either morning or evening to earn extra income weekly? We are employing for PT job in your area the job does not affect your present job. If you are interested, kindly email for more information.

Hey Mr. James Anderson... I totally feel disgusted with  people like U as you have done this before under different names. So am writing this while wishing you are sitting across from me so that I can throw up my dog's poops on your evil faces. How dare you think that you'll expect a college graduate with hard earning business degrees to fall for a $1700 weekly pay for a part-time home-based position. See how dummy U are as that kind of pay for such 1-2 hours of work from home is so deceitful... Also, no Chief Officer of Such known company will waste their quality times to find their own helper... wow... No wonder your name is not even in the Company's List of the Executive Staff. Yeah, Mr. Scammer I do know how to verify suspicious people and activities x0x0x0

Well, DO YOURSELF A BIG FAVOR GET OUT OFF OF YOUR EVIL WORLD and look up to the ALMIGHTY GOD who is protecting his innocent people from DEVILS like U for his forgiveness to YOUR FREAKEN MESS UP LIFE!

Oh yeah just so you know that I've scammed before and am so thankful to have my Almighty God protects me and my family from the Evil's species like U... I literally connect to my Lord thru everyday prayers; and HE'S so GOOD to ANYONE WHO BELIEVES and HAVE FAITH in HIM!

My condolences to YOUR LOST KIND SOUL!

Now he is using the name Marc Donald with email address newassistant2010@hotmail.com. I have actually recieved the money orders for the amount of 960.00 each with me to take out my 350 and to send the rest to a Mary Hurley in Malaysia...boy was I stupid I should of know something was to good to be true...when i called moneygram to confirm the money orders they said they were not valid now I am getting the police involved because he says that he has a someone from interpol involved named Garry Smith. I have emailed him several times advising that the money orders were fakes and he doesn't responde to those only to tell me to cash them and to send them on or he is getting this Garry Smith guy involved. I think I am going to contact my police department today.

I to have found this out to be a Scam. Luckly my mother was worried and called the better business bureru, and the man on the phone said that he's heard about this they normally go after younger people! The lady that found me, her name was JESSICA SWART 40years old with 2 adorable children. I found a job on Craigslist offering $500/week to work from home, sounded like a SWEET deal! not so much anymore! this site helped me find out the truth so i thank you so much! i hope this helps the next person.

I too just received an email with beyond similar stories from a Peter Johnson, lawyer involved with the Angel Investment Network. This is how the correspondence has been. Warning, for such an educated individual why is his grammar and spelling off? Also why would you not want at least phone interview "YOUR NEWEST and TRUSTED PERSONAL ASSISTANT"? SCAM!

Mr. Peters,
I filled out the form below and hope my response is not too late. The
server was down and since I am not at the school office during the
summer, it was hard for me to access my work email; that is why I
included my personal email below. If the position has not been filled,
I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you and see if I could
be a good fit. I am a mother of 3 and would love the flexibility to
have some time with my kids. I am truly responsible and obviously
somewhat of an expert on time management. My husband is home during the
days, he works nights, so I am able to run errands and such are needed
during typical business hours. I need something that will help
contribute to our family situation, and not take me away from them 60
hours a week. If you need someone who will commit to helping you
simplify your schedule and work load, at the same time, giving me a
chance to be the mom my kids need, then I believe we will work well
together. I have the experience in assisting with others in the past
who have had their own ventures. I look forward to hearing from you
soon. Please feel free to contact me as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Katie McGlynn

monitor and keep me up to date with my activities.

This position is home-based and flexible, working with me is
basically about instructions and following them. My only fear is that I
may come at you impromptu sometimes, so i need someone who can be able
to meet up with my irregular timings.

As my Personal assistant, your activities among others will
include:

*Create and modify documents using Microsoft Office
*Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring.
*Scheduling programs, flights and keeping me up to date with them.

travels and tight schedules. It's a part-time, work from home basis and
the flexibility 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 the 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
and i am confident you can take up the challenges. On the long run we
should have a relatively sound working relationship between us.

I'm online most of the time as I am hard of hearing so I prefer
we
contact each other through E-mails but if there is need for me to
call, I will be glad to do that. 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 is to run some errands out to some of the
Charity home which I do every month. The funds will be in form of
Certified Us Payment, it will be sent over to you from one of my
clients and i have some list to email you once you received the
funds.You will make some arrangements by buying some stuff for the
kids in the nearest store around you so you can mail them out. I will
get you more information on that.

First Name: Last Name:
Full Street Address with suite #/apt # (not PO BOX) :

City:
State:
Zip Code:
Cell Phone Number:

you
with the task for the week ahead. Please understand that you will
also
be paid ($450 a week) as well as its important for me to make the
necessary steps before i get back from my business trip. I hope i am
clear with that?

MORE DETAILS ON PERSONAL ASSISTANT IS NEEDED
Dear,

Thanks for your interests in the PA position, I will deeply appreciate all genuine efforts to help me monitor and keep up to date with all my activities.
I have had a previous PA who has been very commendable in her activities and who has been part of my life for the past 6 months, she has since returned to her country. I sincerely hope I will be able to find someone again who will be as efficient as she has been. I'm Scott, 50, originally from London, but I have spent a whole lot here in United State. I'm a lawyer by profession and I have been pretty successful in any handful of ventures i get involved in, from the Angel Investment Network in Canada and United State to various welfare and community service programs, I most very often get my hands occupied, so it is imperative for me to have a worthy assistant who can monitor and keep me up to date with my activities.

As my assistant, your activities among other things will include with this below :-
*Running personal errands, supervisions and monitory.
*Scheduling programmed, flights and keeping me up to date with them.
*Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence when I'm away.
*Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
*Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities.

Basic wage is $400 per week but from europe 300Euro a week .

This position is home-based and flexible, working with me is basically about instructions and following them, my only fear is that, i may come at you impromptu some times . With all this, i need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings.There is also a very sensitive issue on trust and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on. This is only an introductory e-mail, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting to get things started officially.
I'm currently in the UK now for a summit, however, I do have a number of things you could help me with this week if you will be available to do them for me.
This can act as a stable foundation to our working relationship.

Hope to hear from you again.
Cheers.
Scott L. Patrick

Wow. I'm currently dealing with the same problem only it's a guy named "James Medras" and he asked me to shoot his wedding at the end of this month. He sent me a check for more than I asked and told me to wire the rest to "Reuben Joseph" in London. Fortunately I caught on before I cashed the check so now I'm in touch with the FBI. How does this creep think he can get away with this crap?!

It doesn't matter what it is, Lancelot, a bank will verify ALL checks before cashing them. Because you happen to be there trying to cash it, then you're the guilty one with a fraudulent check and the cops arrive and YOU goto jail for Felony Check Fraud!
