Complaint / Review
Financial Center Direct, Hallie Pruitt
Wanted me to give my bank account info so that I could cash international checks and keep 10% and wire the rest to them overseas

I have my resume posted on careerbuilder. I recieved an email from a Hallie Pruitt explaining the position for "financial manager" and explaining that she needed me to sign a contract with their company. I checked out the website, and it asked for my DOB, and bank account info. I knew it was a check cashing scam, so I did not give them the info. I just wanted to warn others so they did not fall for this. They want you to put checks into your personal bank account and keep 10% for your "services" and then wire the money to them internationally. Then the check will bounce and you will be left to cover the bank fees and can even go to jail. I just got the email earlier today, and now the website is already down. I am glad, but they will pop up again under a new name. Check out the consumer reports, you will see many examples there. Hope this helps someone out there. Take care. Here is the origninal email below:
