Reader sends in fake job/check scam experience

The reader e-mails keep pouring in. I can’t thank you guys enough. With your help we can spread the word about various scams to help make people more aware of them.

This one comes to us from Sherry who is referring to a post I made about a Minnesota woman who was almost conned by a phony employment/check scam.

just to let you know that I responded to an as on Craig’s List just like the woman in Minnesota. I also thought the property manager job sounded too good to be true. I researched the company, found nothing wrong and so sent my resume. After being accepted for the job that paid WAY TOO much I googled the name again and found your posting regarding the fraud. So thank you so

much from that headache.

The company she’s referring to is Camelot Property Protection and from what I can tell they are a legitimate property managing company. However they only do business in the UK and parts of Europe. Not the U.S. So obviously someone is using their name to scam people.

And again if you get halfway caught in one of these scams and have happened to send them your personal info notify your credit bureau so they can put you on fraud alert.
