I registered with ZipRecruiter on 05/13/17 and applied for a Customer Representative/ Administrative position for a Ron Bell, Inc. posted for Columbus Ga. May 15 at 9:54 AM, I received an email from a Frank Wallace at tesllaproductionsinc@gmail.com writing how impressed he was w/my resume & that the position was taken but that he has a Personal Assistant offer making $550.00 a week. I replied with interest & w/ my response acceptance of the position was confirmed by this Frank. A day later, I did receive a check for $1,985.17 from a Avison Young (USA) iNC.9700 W Higgins Rd suite 500 Rosemont, Il 60018 from Bank: HSBC Bank USA N.A 95 Washington St. Atrum 5N Buffalo, NY 14203.
He is sending messages from a 1-210-802-7116 number and instructed me to deposit the check into my account, take the $550.00 out and deposit the $1415 into the following account:
Account Name: Chukwudi Okonkwo Account Number: 5972009723 Bank Name: Wells Fargo Bank I just led this guy on telling him that the money is deposited only to prolong the process for him to keep his account open. I contacted ZipRecruiter, the BBB, FTC (Federal Trade Commission), filed a police report, and called the FBI, and in the meantime this Frank is thinking that the money is on the way. The FTC advised me that the Police would contact the FBI to instigate the investigation. The police told me that the FTC would contact the FBI. I also let Wells Fargo Fraud department know of the account. This guy is at the receiving end of the account and it seems like nothing is being done by either agency.
