I was contacted by email. He was looking for a personal assistant to handle paying his bills and to buy clothes and art supplies. He would pay me $300 a week to essentially babysit for him. He said that he was in Australia on business, so there would be no interview. He just wanted my full name, address, where I worked, the name of my bank. That was basically it. He was going to send me a check by usps courier. When I received the check I was to deposit it into my bank account and with draww all of the money except my $300 payment. Out of the funds I was to take $50 to pay for Western Union money transactions. I was to split the money between two separate entities living at the same address in Manilla, the Phillipines. I received a cashiers check from a credit union in, I think it was in Minnesota.instead of depositing the check into my personal bank account I opened a new account with the cashiers check, in the amount of $5,500. The bank would not let me withdraw funds right away. The bank made me wait for two weeks. Robert kept emailing me demanding that the funds were available and that I should go ahead with the assigned transaction. I kept emailing Robert, telling him that the matter was out of my hands. The bank would not give me any money for two weeks. When the two weeks were up I received a letter from my bank, telling me that the check bounced. I had to pay $12 to cover the cost of the bounced check. That's the end of the story. I have not heard from Robert in over a week. I emailed him a nasty response after finding out what I suspected all along. I looked up Robert Denise on this sight before I ever received any checks. I knew that he was a scammer and that's why I refused to let his check be deposited into my personal account. I am just writing to reinforce what the other people on this sight have already suggested. I don't believe that anyone actually carried the whole scam to fruition.
