Responded to an ad on Craigslist for Customer Service Representatives (anywhere). I was contacted by Robert Gamsel and was mailed a check for $2950.00. He asked that I deposit the check, keep $400 and wire the remainder to another person to evaluate Western Union's services. I never deposited the check, but told Mr. Gamsel that I did. He e-mailed yesterday, about a week after I received the check. He stated that the funds had been paid to my bank. I was looking at the check when I read the e-mail. I was suspicious before that e-mail, but that confirmed it. I did an internet search on the company the Fed Ex package was sent from, they closed their doors in Oct. 2009. He e-mailed me today and told me to wire the money "within 12 hours or else..." He also stated that he would report me to the FBI and CIA. I replied and invited him to do just that. I have filed complaints with the FTC and Ohio's attorney general office. I really hope this guy gets busted. I have been unemployed since March and have been desperately searching for work. While I didn't lose any money, I have wasted my time with this jerk. He should be in prison!
