I got an email from Manager, from Stone, Inc. the other day and today, is this place Legit?

Question

I replied to a posting on craigslist.org I think either that Monster,com and the job sounded too good to be true, work at home on the computer and get paid?? So, ya I replied not really thinking that I would ever get a response back, but a few weeks later, in the mail, I received a check made out to me for 3,871.94 (or someething like that), I was completely shocked, and when I googled and yahooed them, there were nowhere to be found. So i brought it to Citizans Bank and told them about my story and they called Suntrust bank in Atlanta, Ga because thats what was on the check that I had received. They called and said that it wasnt real, so they took it and I told them to rip it up then. a few days later I got an email telling me point by point of what to do with the check, and some documents were attached too it but i never looked. Then a few days later, 08-26-06, I received another email asking me what happened and where I disappeared too, its weirding me out. What do I do?

Answer 1

It's a scam. Delete their e-mails and forget about it.

Answer 2

I additionally gained an e mail offering a job (discovered my resume on Monster). My first instinct grew to become into - it truly is basically too solid to be genuine. I then puzzled why every person might might desire to learn or verify Paypal funds while easily Paypal hires its very own human beings to accomplish that function. perchance what they are doing is figuring out on resumes that have been published for a undeniable length of time. they objective those human beings, hoping that they are desparate for a job and could throw warning to the wind. So I adivse every person who gets this e mail to proceed very heavily - or do what I did and delete.

Answer 3

Sounds like a phishing scam of some kind. I think you should ignore their emails and delete them without opening any of the attachments.

Answer 4

I reecieved the same thing and like you I also initially responded, Irecieved check for $1750.00 requesting I deduct 10% for myself then sending the remainder via Western Union 'Only', slick bitches, Of course its a scam, just look at their web site has two pictures of 'Derek' with 2 different names.

Answer 5
