Hello, friends.
I want to warn all immigrants and newcomers about a popular scam for money in Canada.
Prehistory:
As soon as we immigrated to Canada, my wife began to look for work, after some time she was offered the position of Personal Assistant for a businessman who works in the world and needs a person in Canada who will coordinate over Canada. For a week, he gave her "tasks" for a look. Then I sent her a check for 3000 CAD. He said that 1000 CAD is a salary for 2 weeks, and 2000 CAD we need to send further to the Philippines. We came with a non-valid check to the bank, where we cashed it. We sent 2000 CAD further to the Philippines. After 3 days we have 3 000 CAD on our bank account.
It turns out the check was not valid. The bank issues the money and only then draws the money from the payer, can not withdraw from the payer, then draws the money from the person to whom they were given.
Update:
A little over a month ago I was in search of work and submitted to different office positions. And today I received an identical letter with the identical text that he sent to my wife - "zamanuha" to work.
I publish the text of the letter below. Please be careful and I hope my message will save you from our bitter experience. * The only difference in letters is another name and e-mail address. *
Thanks for the response to the job posting, your Resume has been reviewed. Unfortunately the position has already been filled but another offer still available if you are interested. I have gone through your resume and I'm impressed, which is the Personal Assistant Position.
My name is Joel Marinez, 49 years of age and I live 18 miles from your Postal code. I'm a business entrepreneur, a human capital investor and philanthropist maintaining established business relationship with diverse companies within and across the Globe. Due to my, recent engagement and subsequent business expansion, my schedule necessitates the role of an Assistant who will help leverage my work load in order to ensure timely delivery of services and attendance to matters of concern and as such eschew excess backlogs and unattended briefs.
The sensitivity of this position warrants the office holder to be upright, responsive, accountable, trustworthy, emphatic, persevering, honest and willingly ready to go an extra mile.
· Receiving Phone Calls from my clients.
· Making Regular Drop offs at FedEx Stores for letters meant for my clients.
· Basic wage is $400 weekly.
Working 3 to 5 hours Daily, and 3 Days weekly. ( you can choose your working days because it is flexible )
I tend to have a very busy schedule at the moment, please note that this position is not office based for now due to my frequent travels. It's a part-time work from Home for now. I'm currently away for some property survey in the North American Caribbean Island, Puerto Rico, Europe and Kuala-Lumpur Malaysia. I'll be back to the country in three weeks time. So, I need an assistant to handle dealings for me on the home front when away on business which is habitually quite often. I need someone who can be able to reply to Emails in a prompt manner and has good communication skills.
This is just an explanatory message, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting upon my arrival. I do have a number of things you could help me with this week if you will be within reach for me. If you're interested in the offer, this could act as a good start to our working consanguinity.
