Scammer sent me an email stating that he will pay me $550.00 a week to help out with humanitarian efforts for Asia. First told me that he will send me funding to send out packages to orphanages, then switched the story to tell me to take my portion of pay from the funds and send the rest through money gram to a woman. He kept avoiding my questions of formal employment documentation. Very secretive with the information he is giving me. I am expected to receive the payment today but I told him to stop shipment or that I will overnight it back because this does not seem like a legit job opportunity. He told me that this was an assistant position and now its just seeming like a scam to me. I don't understand why he would send a check to me to deposit it in my bank to then transfer funds to anyone. I was never given an interview and never even spoke to the person on the phone.

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.
