Then after the fifth day, I get a phone call from her saying that she was not able to set up a new business banking account with Bank of America. Perhaps trying to get my personal account information, I don't know.  I went to Bank of America and found out that this was not the case and that she hadn't even attempted to set one up, ever, nationwide.

So, in summation, If you get this e-mail, DELETE IT!!!

As for the actual supposed company, Adams Interiors, LLC. I attempted to contact the owner listed by the BBB multiple times by phone and e-mail to try to verify her as one of HIS employees.  He never responded. I probably wouldn't have either if she had been using my company name fraudulently.
