I was applying for a job in craigslist for a PA and this person seem to be interested, after 2 emails he said that I was hired and etc. The next day he sends me a check with 3500 dollar tell me to deposited in my account. I refuse, but he keeps send me emails and scam checks. He goes by the name of Mr. Brown the emails that he used are this: [email protected] and [email protected], here is a copy of his last email:

Like i said before i want you will have to by some office equipment for me and i need you to send some money out of that to my manager in Missouri now okay
The needed amount by my Manager from the Check is for her to get the Urgent Tools is $1,900 .cos he wants to use the money to ship the items she ordered from there okay ....
HERE ARE THE LIST OF TOOLS YOU WILL BE GETTING

I WANT YOU TO GET A BRAND OF THEM

4... Calculator
I will like you to get them all in a NEW BRAND OR YOU CAN GET THE PRINTER ,FAX MACHINE AND THE PHOTOCOPY ALL IN ONE OK . And dont get yourself worried about shipping them , The FEDEX COURIER SERVICE will be coming over to pick them up.
So as soon as you have the payment Today , just deposit the check in your account cos it will take up to 24hrs to clear in yout account and quickly get the sum of $1,900 send to my Manager so she could get the necessary things done there after you can go and complete your Task by getting the Tools at the Closest Store to you .
