Am I Wrong?
I apply for a job on Zip Reqruiters Administrative Assistsnt. I got a message from them that i didn't understand now 8 days later a woman name Esther had reach out to me saying that the job i apply for was taken and the application was forward to her. She stated how she needs a personal assistant since hers just recently got married and move to Canada. She need me to run errands for her, pick up & drop off mail. The errands can be run in my city/state. She'll pay $400 for 2 days a week and would send out the first check before the job even begins. If i consider she needs my information including if i have a bank or not. The main thing that had struck me was towards the end of the email. If i do a good job, then when she comes back we would meet and dicuss more to see if it will be a permanent position for me. In the whole email she never stated that she was out of town. I know that things happen and people lose their assistants all the time but i don't like the fact that she never stated that she was out of town, the only thing she said when she gets back, get back from where i didn't even know u were out of town. And are u even in my state? I don't feel comfortable giving my bank information through email to someone i don't know and i don't feel this comfortable taking this job so ignore it. Am I wrong
SCAM!!! Do Not send any of your banking information nor accept any checks from this person. No one hires and pays you sight unseen, no where in America are people just sending checks to people they haven't even verified yet. Don't fall for it. I know it's hard out there looking for a job, but think of it like this, it will be harder if you end up with check fraud charges against you!
It is a scam. I have gotten similar emails in the past. NEVER give your bank information to anyone you did not initiate a transaction with. They WILL drain your accounts.
No, you are not. I wouldn't feel comfortable either. If she's out of town why is she making work related calls?
I had a similar situation develop as I am a mother, and the classified add was on a jobseeking websites I would be employed as a nanny. Yet before i met the children or the "mom" I would need qualified items that they would pay for by a check and jut put my check thru my bank,....and whatever yadayadayada it was a while ago. But it definately wa a scam artist. So I called the police and they gave me to a special unit. I also messaged these theives that I had informed the police and not to contact me ever. They did not! I hope they leave the country, I was informed that it may be aliens, but race was not necessarily the issue. But because it was computer related it was thought it had originated inAsia. I feel like people are cruel in this world and not due to mostly poor. But the unbalanced. I mean the criminal was aiming at females that are young, in college. I think the pictures on the internet are really far out I mean everyday I get a new one, but nothing about scams, new laws, number to report spam, or committee fighting these permanent issues.
HI Mary, That is a total scam. .same thing happened to me, they told me to watch a warehouse fpr 40 hours a week fpr $2,000.. they sent me the check but when I told then I was in law enforcement it stopped..
Mary don't do it it's probably a scam. I had a friend in same situation,.she ended up owes bank 1940..seriously when someone asks for your account information. if it sounds to good to be true most definitely not true.
NEVER, Ever give any personal information to anyone who contacts you like that...it is ALWAYS A SCAM!!!! This is how people lose their identities and then have to go thru all sorts of legal actions and apply to the IRS for new numbers and such...And never open any links in their emails or even respond...these emails should be sent directly to your junk mail box so that your computer will not deliver these to you in the future...also don't bother to report these scams because the agency has too many now that they don't have time or manpower to investigate...better to just chalk it up to being a smart cookie and not getting sucked into this scam.
Gd day no u wasn't wrong those type of emails are scams don't never give ur bank information over the phone or emails.
Hey Mary, I understand what u mean and don't know what company did this to u. This business could be base on monopoly. I hope u will find job some place and God is good and great. Just stick to it.
always go with your gut feeling!
