Me: I called RBFCU to verify the check before depositing & am told that it is an INVALID CHECK

Mr Yong Ming Ming: What !!

Me: yeah.. any idea's what happened?

Mr Yong Ming Ming: That cheque sent to you is as real as money ..

Mr Yong Ming Ming: I will the accounting manager now ..and see whats going on

Me: ok... thank you

Mr Yong Ming Ming: You are welcome

Mr Yong Ming Ming: Hello..I am back

Me: hello

Mr Yong Ming Ming: Our accounting manager just got sued

Me: that's not good.. what's that mean

Mr Yong Ming Ming: He got sued for issuing out a bogus cheque to our applicants ..I believe that serves him right ..

Mr Yong Ming Ming: Don't you think ?

Me: yes it does.. hope he gets jail time as well

Mr Yong Ming Ming is typing...

Mr Yong Ming Ming: If you insist ..Now The vendor wants to comfirm something regarding the shipment

Me: ok

Mr Yong Ming Ming: Do you have the Automated Time Tracker?

Me: no

Mr Yong Ming Ming:

FUNCTION OF TIME TRACKER: The Automated Time Tracker will enable us to track the number of hours you spend daily

 Ok, You will need to obtain that to enable us track your working hours

Me: yes I know what it is.. i do not have one & have never used one

Me: where would i get one?

Mr Yong Ming Ming:

You will need to obtain it from the vendor so the vendor can also preload it in the laptop  and it will be coming along with the company's suit and everything will be good to go .

The cost is $400.99

Mr Yong Ming Ming: NOTE: You will be reimbursed for this purchase along with your first pay in double.

Me: I will NOT put any money out of pocket.. I am currently unemployed if i don't start with you & have NO income

Mr Yong Ming Ming: I know that Mr Mildred ..That is why its stated above that you will be reimburesed for tis purchase along with your first paycheck

Me: I don't have the funds to put out.. I am broke

Me: why don't you pre pay & pre load the software needed rather than sending a check for me to purchase the software?

Me: that would eliminate the problem like you have with your accounting manager issuing bogus checks

Mr Yong Ming Ming: Five good reasons why you are needed to make order for the software programs.

1.The company does not have the software programs because we does not specialize of accounting software's.

2.This is to show how committed you are to work for the company.

3.The software vendor is the vendor all our employee has been buying software's from for years now.and you will make the order from her to enable her install the needed above software programs with disc and have it shipped overnight to you via FedEx.

 4.Due to the rate of unemployment these days,The company is hiring 16 teams to work for the company with 4 software programs and to enable them deal with clients in the healthcare sectors,insurance sector,banks and business organizations e.t.c

Mr Yong Ming Ming: 5.Your training supervisor need you to get these programs ready to enable you work accurate with him or her.
