This company called and said they had work in the area for landscaping work for banks they had contracts with. They said for 99.00 they would do a background check and if you passed they would send you and email with the jobs that you could work. They said there would be the landscaping jobs and remodeling foreclosed homes etc. They said I would receive an email each week with new jobs. I paid the 99.00 for the background check. They sent an email with three jobs. It wasn't what they said but it was for work nonetheless. I replied saying I could do all three jobs to the three different "individuals" I never heard anything back at all. Then the next week I didn't even get an email stating any new jobs. I am sure it is a scam and they did it just to avoid suspicion or till my money cleared by sending the bogus email. Here is a copy of the email they sent. I am curious if anyone else has received the same bogus initial email. Again I never received a response from anyone that I emailed and never got another "leads" email again which they said I would get one every week. Here is the bogus email:
