Bobbi Autry 7780 SE Uglow Dallas, Oregon 97338 Glenn Johnson 2255 East Front Street Logan, OH 43138 (740) 385-7211 These people are using CraigsList with other Alias names, to scam people of fake job offers that lead to BIG money SCAMS. Logan,, Ohio

I recently have been applying for job offers and CraigsList was one of the major sites I would search on. However, I was getting mostly bogus, scam replies. I recived three in all. I brushed the other two off as okay they got me, but the third had gone too far. 

These people are the contact participants on CraigsList through their emails: Kimberly Nina, Samson Lakeson, and Phillip Gone. They mostly use job positions titled: Cleaners Needed Urgent, Cleaning, and CRS Needed. I guess they figure these are the vulnerable desperate people.

They advertise their stories of how successful they are in business and why they need help.
The first scammer Phillip Gone stated, "I'm Phillip Gone me and my family are relocating to the city from Spain. We are coming there to do some contract basis with my research for a Oil company {Shell Oil} as I work presently with the shell oil here in Spain as a research contractor manager and we are relocating to the USA for 3 years on my research and arrangements have been made with my wife uncle who has helped us to buy a house before he passed away last week, so I need someone who can work as a good housekeeper. I will be offering you $400 a week, I will be needing your services for three hours at any suitable time of yours. Mondays through Fridays also I need to get you informed that I have a financier in the state who will be handling payment for your services."

A later email stated I had the job, but that additional info was needed to make arrangements. The financier was going to send me a check and I had to deduct my first service fee and help to send out the rest of the money to their Art Seller who is to deliver some art to their apartment. He states, "I would have instructed my finacier to issue out the art payment to the Art Seller but our financier could only issue out a check/money order to one person."

The second scam with Samson Lakeson sounded pretty much like the first so my husband and I quickly disregauarded further contact and communication with them. The third scam came slightly different.

The CRS-Customer Service Rep job scam offer included: Running business errands; Mailing and receiving of packages and letters; Dealing with people at all levels across a multicultural environment; Accounts payable; Also I would be doing some shopping for them. The pay is $400 a week reguardless of hours worked, but they envisage not more than 12 hours in any week. Kimberly Nina states, "I need your services because I am consytantly out of town. I buy companies that have financial difficulties an I am trying to start an Art Gallery. I will meet up with you when I return and then we can talk about the possibility of making this longterm. Work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. Funds will be made available to you in form of a check and it will be issued to you including your first week payment $400, am going to email the list of items to get as soon as I compile them all but it will be better to wait till you get the fund before I give you the list."

A later email form Kimberly Nina states, "Hello, You have been accepted as our customer service rep in your area."

Early one morning out the blue, fed ex pulled up at my house dropping off an envelope. In the envelope only, was a check made out to me for the amount of $2,900. I did not know right off where it had come from. I wanted to believe it was a random winning from a sweepstakes drawing. The check was from: Jamison California Market Center, in Los Angeles, CA, from the Bank Of The West, in Lodi, CA. Turns out the account number on the check was an active account, but trying to deposit the check into my account, threw up red flags. I decided to call Jamison California Market Center, and after speaking with them, I ripped the check up. FRAUD-STOLEN IDENTITY!!!!! 

Later that day, checking my email, heres Kimberly Nina stating, "Good News, The payment will be delivered early today possibly before 10am, via Fed Ex. Once it has been delivered, kindly take the check to your bank and have it cashed instantly or deposit it into your bank account and withdrawn the funds immediately. You will deduct $400 which is your fee for the first assignment. Once the first is completed you will get another pay to start the 2nd. I want you send the rest funds to the other secret customer and remember to make record of all the activities in the western union location. Send the rest of the money today to: Receiver's Name: Bobbi Autry 7780 SE Uglow Dallas, Oregon 97338.

I was furious! I felt very used! I would have gotten in trouble for this. I taped the check, and I have it for my records. Kimberly Nina tried contacting me afterwards a couple of times asking to please update them on the progress and status of the check. After I gave her/he some words, they havn't contacted me since.
