I was looking at jobs on Craigslist and sending out my resume to the one's that i found most interesting. A guy named Sam Subba Contacted me saying that i would be a perfect candidate to be his assistant. He explained that the job description is ideal for a college student or just someone who wants to work part time to make a little extra money. Anyways, he mainly wanted someone to answer phone calls, return emails and cash a few checks to pay expenses while he was gone. Sam said he was the head of a computer company called S Subba & Co, so i thought the job description was legit. My first assignment was to receive a UPS package holding a check to deposit it in my account. So, i took the check up to my bank and i opened a special account to deposit the check. I then called him and told him that i did not put it in my personal account and he got very frustrated. He said that because i opened a new account there was going to be a delay on validation, I went back to the bank to switch the deposit over to my account but first explained my postion to the bank manager, and he told me that it was most likely a scam and he tried to validate the check early and it ended up being an out of state check which usually has a five day holding process to validate. I called sam letting him know that i was talking to the bank manager and the check was from out of state and there was going to be a holding period, he then hung up the phone and refused to answer. The last thing i did was send him a nasty email.
