Recieved this e-mail, once I got on Yahoo chat, \"John\" conducted an interview, then told me i got the job and it was a work from home job. I knew it was a scam but i went along with it to get information. He overnighted me a check and asked that I put it in my bank account and when the funds became available, I needed to transfer the money to a woman so that she could send me all my work equipment. I instally knew it was a scam. I got the check overnight and was bothered all day from them about cashing it, they were calling numerous times, and e-mailing me. Don\'t fall for it.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
