First of all, I\'m not your dude.

Secondly, If you go about calling companies that offered you a job scams, then you\'re the scammer.

The check has been voided, have it destroyed. Any attempt by you to cash the check in an attempt to elope with the funds, you\'ll be arrested and prosecuted.

What a jerk.

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.
