I've recently seen posts about scams and wanted to alert you to three more. One comes from Wesfarmers Limited, with Mrs. Allison Walker wanting to interview you on google hangouts. Williams Taylor sent me a message via e-mail and proceeded to send questions that I was to answer for a "personal assistant" position; and a third one is Herbert Shelton. They all wanted info and then sent checks ranging from $1950.50 to $4000+ for me to purchase laptop and software, after depositing into my account. Clearly, the checks were bogus and would bounce and I'd be out the money! My bank and the Sheriff's Office confirmed this. When I refused to play their game and asked for directions on how to return the checks, all I received was silence. If it sounds too good to be true . . . .it usually is!!!

Another Scam!!

Wipro Limited is a scammer. Every work from home company that has contacted me has been a scam artist. Don't even bother with them.

Energy Kozco Group

I'm not sure if the group is legit or not but I had someone to contact me about working from them. They are on FB and twitter so I would say some part of it maybe but the one's that contacted me were scammers. Went through the whole "interview" process and they ask me to pay for $500 worth of computer software. I asked if they could pay for it & haven't heard from them in months. People are so evil these days.

Fool me once,! Scammer

Last week after I posted a resume on Craigslist I got taken in a bit by a scammer, and some here helped me through it with advice even #AskEmily, we'll I quizzed the individual and the conversation stopped. Then I got another, that too stopped when quizzed for house keeping job. Well guess what ?! I removed my phone setting and I got a little more refined attempt probably from the same person, this time it said she was a SVP. of Symnatec. So I played along for one response asking for a verifiable link, We'll guess what she wanted to do it on hangouts LOL that is the same ploy that was used before So I sent a scam report to Clist.and it will stop the response by that IP!
