Your first assignment is scheduled for today. Funds to evaluate with will be delivered to your residence this morning via fedex express. You will be receiving a cashier's check. When you do receive the financial instruments, make sure it is completely filled out. If it is not, please address the check to yourself, append your signature on the right column and deposit at your bank, THE BANK ONLY.

The scammer did Fed Exed a Cashiers check to my home in the amt of $1,750 but the whole thing was suspicious since there was no company name or phone on the package or letter explaining the funds and the email was a personal AOL account. I contacted Capital City Bank of Tallahassee, Florida directly and confirmed that the check was indeed a fraud. Although the routing # is correct, the account is not valid and would have bounced and I would have been liable. The web site listed in the email is also disabled. I reported the fradulent check to the FDIC.
Do Not Fall Victim to this Scam!!!
