the  company sent me a check to work for them and i dont know if the company is real.

have you found out anything. I got the letter yesterday. I am hoping is legit since I did apply for the p/t job. Let me know what you find out~

Hey, got this too... doing a bit of research.

Here's what I've found:
First, I received a check from "Fifth Third Bank" in the form of a "Cashier's Check"

The amount was for $1,998.00
According the breakdown enclosed with the check:
$  250.00  Salary
$   50.00  Money for purchase
$1,586.00  Transaction at Western Union
$  112.00  Service Charges at Western Union

First, here's the info on the bank obtained from www.routingnumbers.org
FIFTH THIRD BANK
Routing Information Bank Name   FIFTH THIRD BANK
Routing Number   042207735
Address   5050 KINGSLEY DRIVE
City   CINCINNATI
State   OH
Zip Code   45263-0000
Telephone Number   (513) 358-6232
Office Type   Main
Servicing Number   041000014
Record Type Code   1
Institution Status Code   1
Record Revision Date   2006-10-10

So, the bank is real.  The address that is listed on the check doesn't match.

Any other info?

got the same check in instruction yesterday . you think in ligit  ?

Damn, you people are stupid. No, it is NOT legitimate. Have you no search engine skills to find the details of this very common scam?

Well, if you are really so smart, perhaps you have some proof to backup your statement?

As for me, I have begun investigating into this further, and will know more on Monday (when the banks are actually open).

As for "The Truth," if you could shed light on the "scam" that would be fantastic.

Thanks,

It's all over the internet. How could you NOT know it's a scam.
Stop thinking you are going to get money for doing nothing.
Type in 419 scam or go to ripoff report and read.

Hey just take the check to your bank and have them check it out!!!! They'll tell you its gonna bounce!!!! Quick and simple...

And they are using multiple real banks... Mine was Whitney bank.... !!! DONT FALL FOR IT !!!!!

the bank cannot tell you any thing about the check untill it has cleared the red tape factor and if it dose come back to you NSF then you pay the fee .now if you enough money to travel to the original bank it is drawn on then they may be able to tell you if it is ok.before u cash it . and if you really use common sense then it still stands true (if it sounds to good to be true then it is)come on people even when a company dose hire someone they are not going to pay them that much money for 10 min of shopping.besides if you look for the micro print in the border it is not there.
