I received e-mails from [email protected] about a job being a personal assistant. I received a check for $3,220.00 via ups and was asked to cash the check at my bank, when i went to the bank to check if it was valid. As it turns out all of this is a scam so beware. The information below is what the content of all the e-mails he sent me.

Hello.
Thanks for applying for the post, I quite I appreciate it? I received and read your e-mail and it's reasonable and acceptable. So I will give this a go"
I'm looking for someone that can be trusted and reliable to work very well.
This position is home-based and flexible, working with me is basically about instructions and following them, my only fear is that I may come at you impromptu sometimes, so I need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings. As my personal assistant, your activities amongst other things will include;
*Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring. Scheduling programmes, flights and keeping me up to date with them.
Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence when I'm away.
Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf. Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities..
Basic wage is $500 a week.
I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point, as I am presently in the United Kingdom, I will be back in the states in three Weeks.
I think you're the right person for this post, Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules, it's a part-time, work from home basis and the flexibility means that there will be busier weeks than others, so it's a little difficult judging the exact number of hours you'll be doing per week... If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extra while you do something else on the side. As I have said, I'd want us to get a head start with things as soon as possible. I do have a pile up of work and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with, I hope we can meet up with the workload eventually. Permit me to use the coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards all this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. I really need to find the perfect person for this job, I'm confident you can take up the challenge and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us. It may be a little difficult working out the time difference between us initially, with time however, we should get used to it. I'm online most of the time as I am hard of hearing so I prefer to we contact each other through E-mails, but if there is need for me to call, I will make use of the online means of making phone calls. I am glad you are willing to work with me and i promise to be a good boss. I am also glad on the commitment in working. I have been checking my files and what i would want you to do for me this week is to run some errands out to some of the orphanage home, I do that every month. The funds will be in form of Money Order and it will be sent over to you from one of my clients and i have some list to email you once you received the funds, You will make some arrangements by buying some stuff for the kids in the nearest store around you so you can mail them out. I will get you more information on that, I will like you to get back to me with your Contact Details such as:
Full Name: Contact Address NO P. O BOX: City: State: Zip-Code: Phone Number: Occupation: Sex: Age:
Once I have received your contact information, I will get back to you with the task for this week, Understand you will also be paid as well as its important for me to make the necessary steps before i get back from my business trip back to the states. Hope I am clear with that.
Get back as soon as possible. Mike Cole

Hello, Good Day to you and how are you doing today? I am sorry for the late response. I have been busy. I hope you are having a splendid time. I got your information and I want to use this medium to inform you that you have been employed has my personal assistant.
Let me tell you more about me: My name is Mike Cole Esq. I am a lawyer. I handle cases involving child custody and divorce. I have been in the law firm for 10years now. I represent, mostly in court, the poor women who have been humiliated by their husbands and have been deprived access to their children. I strongly believe that Women should take custody of their children because 90% of men are the busy type who will have little time to spend with them. This profession has made me have passion for the less privilege children and the Orphans who lack parental care and guardian. I have taken it upon myself to assist them by buying some items and donate them to the orphanage homes across the world. Most cases, I divert some of the money from my clients on this project. Because of the work load and nature of my job, I will need you to run errands not only for the orphanage homes but also on some personal and official matters. One of my clients will be sending her consultation and retainer fee. You will be receiving the funds and will get some items for the orphanage from it. I will email you the items to be bought and the contact information of the Orphanage as soon as possible. Your weekly wage is $500 which you will be paid after the end of each week as soon as your duty commences. Ensure you check your email at least twice daily, in the morning and later in the night and ensure you always confirm the receipt of each email message you receive so I can be sure you receive the message sent to you. I hope with honesty and trust, this will be the beginning of a long lasting relationship. Please reconfirm your information by filling correctly the information below: Full Name: Contact Address NO P. O BOX: City: State: Zip-Code: Phone Number: Occupation: Sex: Age: Thanks and do have a lovely day.
