Complaint 289576 Details

This person has a history of posting fake employment opportunities on Craigslist looking for part-time office help. The respondent is then emailed with the offer of helping to "assist in setting up the new office location in your area and keep me updated with activities on needed supplies and office items." Additionally, the fraudster will claim a management position with a legitimate company (in my case, Mecca Cosmetica, an Australian cosmetics chain). The job-seeker is then sent a fraudulent check to be deposited and used for purchasing "supplies." Luckily, my bank identified the check as fraudulent, although it appeared to be issued from a legitimate bank in Florida. The name given to me via email was Christopher Wegman with California number 323-834-2586, and the check was posted by one Allen Chen from Hilliard, Ohio. Searching the phone number reveals that this person or persons have perpetrated this scam multiple times using different aliases supposedly employed by different legitimate companies.
