| Mark W. Daniels job scam Albany, Georgia |
| 30th of Dec, 2010 by User641148 |
I responded to an online job listing for Admin Assistant.I received a reply, poorly worded, improper diction and grammar, and incorrect and missing punctuation, from Mark W. Daniels who claims to be a realtor who will meet with me when he returns from his business trip to Dubai. I googled his stateside phone number and it does come back to Mark W. Daniels, realtor in Albany, Georgia. But, he explained that it was out of service as he was out of the country (??). I played him along enough to finally be mailed a check for more than 5 times the amount of my 'weekly salary' of $500 for 8-10 hours work. I turned a copy over to my bank and took the original to the police.
BTW, his co-hort's address on the envelope was Gary Turley (not found on google or Spokeo) 9701 Belleville Ave Belleville, MI (this is a Meijer's hyperstore). The check was a Capital One cashier's check drawn on a Manhattan, NY branch (the watermark on the reverse was an obvious forgery)
