Instead of presenting himself as Todd Duncan, this time he was Todd Watson. Offered me a job at 23.00 an hour 15.7 for training. He would be sending me a check to deposit to help set up my mini at home office when in the beginning of the conversation he said I would be working in the new office opening near me on April 24th. I'm physically disabled so at home sounded nice then my aunt helped to do some research and came across your website. I will not be cashing any check. I'll be taking it to the cops.

I was contacted via email that City Group was hiring and opening an office in my area for Administrative Assistant.

They found my resume on ZipRecruiter.com. After several conversations with Mr Todd Duncan, he sent me a Cashier's Check via FedEx this morning. He got upset when I said that I would be opening a new account to deposit this check. He said it could take up to 30 days for it to clear, (another red flag in my head going off). I called the bank in which the check was drawn on, the vice president let me know that it was not valid.

The website that was originally provided to me, was taken down after my conversation with Mr Duncan, this morning.

Names that I have been provided during this interaction: Todd Duncan ([email protected]) - we only spoke via Google Hangouts. Lauren Walker ([email protected]) she sent a letter with the check indicating that she is the CPA/Financial Officer from the Financial Department. <-- Another Red Flag.

Clark was the initial contact, I received the first email from him ([email protected])

Here is part of our conversation on Google Hangouts:

My response to Mr Duncan - I can refuse the package, if you wish. I don't have monies to cover it, so It will have to clear before I can cash it either way. I am a customer already, so it shouldn't be a problem.

*** These were the last words from Mr. Duncan - please beware***

If you want to refuse the package you can go ahead and refuse it

Good day

And you as well. I have to protect myself, I'm sure you understand that.
