I replied to his craigslist ad ad just received my first email from him. I was excited about the reply but in reading it, something didn't feel right. I decided to wait to have my fiance read it and help determine if it was legit and while waiting for him to come home, I did some searching and found multiple complaints like these. In all of them, he uses the same words and just changes his name. In mine he was Thomas Baker. Please listen to these comments, stay away from this fake sculptor business.

I got the same email after applying for a Medical Assistant job. Scammers suck!

I cashed in the check yesterday,  what do I do?

This is the email I just received:

Now goes by the name of 'Pamela nicolas' ....SCAM!!!!! Something about wedding dresses. ..

Said same thing to me too thru craigslist email!!

Scam same email for wedding dresses

Exactly the same!! Pamela Nicolas, wedding dresses. It was weird when I received 2 emails, after my initial respond to the ad, then 2 more emails. She said she was in a car accident and sprained her ankle!!

I got this same response from the same person... I actually sent back my address and stuff. But it felt weird to me so when she sent a message about picking up wedding gowns for her. I told her that I didn't feel comfortable handling money for someone.

Omg she said the same exact thing ....... Just now I will and can not

I got the same email from pamela and then michael. they sent a 1800 dollar check to my house.this is bull

Hope you are having a pleasant day . After a careful review of your details, I am glad to employ you as my Personal Assistant. I hope my decision will be worthwhile. I'll be using the next couple of weeks to test your efficiency and diligence towards this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. I really need the perfect person for this job, I'm confident you can take up the challenge and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us.

I hope we can get a head start with things as soon as possible. I have had to put a hold on a lot and I would appreciate it if you can be available for me immediately. I do have a couple of urgent tasks for you which will include you making some purchases and payments on my behalf. Your official start date is Monday 16th of May 2016. You will receive a payment from my client via mail between Monday 16th of May 2016 and Tuesday 17th of May 2016 which will cover your wages for the week as well as purchases and payments needed to be made on my behalf. I will let you know as soon as the payment has been sent. As soon as you receive the payment, notify me of the receipt and go ahead to deposit the payment at your bank. The payment normally takes 24 hours to clear. Once the payments have cleared, deduct $650 for your wages for the week, another $50 for first class postage stamps for some mails you will be dispatching for me. I will forward the list of recipients you'll be sending the mails to once I compile it. The balance will be used for some materials which I intend purchasing for work.

Kindly reply this e-mail as soon as possible to further signify your interest in working with me. I have confidence in you and I'm looking forward to a good working relationship between us. I hope you will be up to, perhaps better than my presumptions about you.
