While searching for a new job, I came across a position that was data entry/work at home. Pay was good, and I just had to send my resume to a woman named Janice Powell. I emailed my resume and a short note.
Two days later I recieved and email from a Mr. Benny Moore from the UK about this position. Asked a few short questions about why I wanted this position, etc. The first thing that tipped me off was that one of his questions read "What do u understand by petty cash"? I thought this was an odd question and poor use of grammer, but gave the benefit of the doubt, answered the question and emailed back.
Two HOURS later, I recieved another email saying "Congratulations you have the job"! Now, if he is in London, one - their is a 6 hour time difference and two - I'm thinking no phone call, could he have checked my references so fast? The email went on to say how I would be making $35 per hour and they would be sending a laptop, printer, scanner, etc. As well as a check for funds to purchase additional equipment.
There were no phone numbers in this email, no way to contact anyone if I had questions. There was a short paragraph about how the companies web site is currently under going construction. However, I Googled the company names "Corporate Computers Inc" as well as "Pan-Canadian Computers Inc" and found nothing. He also stated in the email that the company was listed with the "Greater Britain Business Association" which I also Googled and their is no such thing.
Finally, after really becoming curious now, I Googled the gentleman's name "Benny Moore" and that lead me to this web site and a write up from a woman who experienced something similar (same Benny Moore with the same address in the UK I was given, which by the way does not exsist) to what I have, but she had been take for $2900.00!
Thank you complaint for saving me before I got scammed!!! I promptly copied the page on your website and emailed it to Mr. Moore.
