I contacted e. Curtis and was told I had to go through a 10 day probation period but would be paid for the time spent during probation and, that I would need to complete daily assignments and send them via email everyday and, also to submit the time I spent each day in order to be paid.
I spent the first 3 days doing research on Quickbooks, & scouring resumes on craigs list for people looking for either "data entry" positions or "work from home" positions. I was to send an email with contact information to them. I was also asked how I wanted to be paid. My choices were money order, check, direct deposit and paypal. I choose check.
On the 4th day I was informed that the money for buying the office equipment that I would need would be arriving via UPS the following Monday or Tuesday and that I would receiving my pay by Wednesday for the days worked that week.
On Monday, March 10, I received the UPS package containing three Money Orders for $850 each drawn on the Bank of Delaware. I was surprised to receive this amount however, I went and deposited the money orders into a bank account. I proceeded to get back on yahoo im to let Edward Curtis know that I had deposited the funds and it would be awhile for the funds to be available. He then proceeded to tell me that as soon as the bank made the funds available to me, I was to purchase Quick Books 2008 and the other office equipment that I would need and send the balance of the money to one of their agents for the "data entry" software I would need. I informed him that until the Money Orders cleared, I could not do this.
This morning, Tuesday, March 11, he asked me to check the bank to see if the funds had been creditied yet and that even when they are, according to the bank it could take anywhere from 3 weeks or more to make sure they don't bounce. I then asked him about my pay and I was told that instead of receiving the pay on Wednesday it would now be Friday. When I questioned him about this, I was told that I wouldn't be paid until I completed the exercises and assignments that were given me and, one of the assignments was to deposit the Money Orders, purchase equipment and send the remainder to one of their agents for the additional software that I would need and, until completed that part of the assignment I would not be paid. He further told me that the company has "trusted" me with their funds and I would need to return the "trust" by doing what was requested.
I contacted my bank this morning and informed them of the conversation I had yesterday and today about sending money almost immediately and, the bank informed me that this is a "scam" and anytime you receive money orders for excess amounts and are told that once the bank shows that the funds are available to send money someplace else then they are trying to "scam" you.
In short, my bank cannot stop the clearing process of these Money Orders at this time and, when they are returned as being no good, it will cost me $10 per money order that was returned.
If you are approached either from this company or any other company offering a "work at home" at an unheard of hourly rate and, they are offering to send you money from the company to buy office equipment... Don't Do It and under no circumstance give them your bank account information or paypal information to receive payment.
