Re: SCAMMER NAMED MICHAEL GRANT: michaelgrant22@ymail.com
Hello nkk
The best thing for you to do now is just ignore him completely. Break all contacts without telling him why you lost interest. As I can understand this foul smelling mugu knows a lot of your RL details. RS rule, don’t bait your own scammer because they can be nasty and will try to blackmail you with the RL details they got from you. Another important thing, don't tell him that you know that he is a scammer. Take care and be safe!

Nothing wrong of being an Engr. as long as you are real. :-)

Hello again nkk
Continue ignoring calls from +234 or any calls with hidden numbers. If not, do just what Wayne told me to do, buy a whistle with high decibel sound. Pick up the phone if you like, no talking, just blow your whistle as hard as you can. Then, this black African beggar will go away with pain in his ears.

Thanks Wild Geese, that is exactly what I will do. I needed one little trick to show my irritation at being made a fool of, I have been blocking, ignoring, changing all info and still my heart and head are just now at the really pissed off stage. A loud whistle in the ear is exactly the obnoxious thing I need to do to get me over this hump.

Re: SCAMMER NAMED MICHAEL GRANT: michaelgrant22@ymail.com
Apparently he is changing his game or is running a second. I have been looking for a job and received the following email this morning about 20 minutes ago.
In addition, the "lawyer's" email address was thomastenth@aol.com, really? aol.com? I then noticed that it was sent from that email through this email, "cole.martins08@gmail.com." I did another online search of cole.martins08 to see what results would come back, and it brought me to here when he used the email "cole.martins08@ymail.com" and someone reported it.
I decided to sign up and post this as a "FYI" type deal, he appears to operate outside of the romance scam arena.
All of this is out of the Dallas area.
The fact he claims to be a lawyer but has horrible grammar and spelling was my first indication. A quick google search of Thomas Tenth shows no results (what lawyer is not listed in the phone book?) and the entire thing sounded fishy. He offers a job without ever speaking to me? I have a good resume, but it isn't that impressive. Also, he is asking for some basic information that is included in my resume.Description: ADMIN ASSISTANT
MY name is Thomas Tenth and I am a lawyer by profession. I have reviewed your resume and YOU have the job hope that will but I smile on your face hope you are the kind of person that I can say YES too, someone that is reliable to work very well and with good understanding that I can trust.
The position is Home-base for the time being until I am self assured that you are trustwordy.sorry but hope you can understand where I am coming from...the job is very flexible so you can keep your other jobs but Note: only if it will not stop you from doing your job right and on time, working with me is simple by just following my instructions and i call on you at any time but at a very reasonable time, you should be able to work under direct instruction and meet up with my irregular timings.
As my Personal Assistant, your activities amongst other things will include:
Flight and keeping me up to date with them. Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence while I'm away. Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf. Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities, Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring. Scheduling programmers’.
I will like us to schedule a meeting today because I will be leaving first thing tomorrow morning and will not be in the states for some days or more, However I will like to meet you in person before I go and if we do not meet I just want let you know that there are couple of errands that i will like you carry out when I am away.
I have schedule out a work chat for you to follow and will be telling and directing you on how to go about it.
Your weekly pay will be $600-$1000 depends how efficient and how hard working you are.
I think you're the right person for this position, Please note that this position is not office based for now because of tight schedules for now, it's a part-time work from home and the flexibility means that there might be some weeks that busier than others. I am just saying it might be a little difficult knowing the exact number of hours you'll be doing per week before i come back to the states but if you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extras while you do something else on the side. As I have said, I want us to start right away with things as soon as possible. I do have lots of works piled up presently and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with, I hope we can meet up with the workload eventually. Permit me to use the coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards all this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. I really need to find 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'm online most of the time as I am hard of hearing so I prefer we contact each other through E-mails, but if there is need for me to call, I will be glad to do that. I am glad you are willing to work with me and i promise to be a good boss and friend to you.
I will like you to get back to me with your Contact Details such as:
First Name:.......................
Last Name:.........................
.
Street Address:.......................
City, State, Zip Code:.................
Cell Phone Number:........................
Age:....................
Home Phone Number:..........................
Current Occupation:..........................
Email Address:................................
When I received your reply and contact information stated correctly.
1. I will get back to you with the task for this week.
2. Know that your weekly pay will be sent to you at the end of every week.
3. A payment inform of a Cashier Check will be sent to your contact address and you can deposit or cash it to be sure the funds available.
I will await your response.
Thomas Tenth

Hi Grubs
Thank you for the information.
It is not at all uncommon for scammers to try their hand at a variety of scams, in this particular scam he will want his new employee to do one (or maybe 2) of 2 things;
"Collect payments from clients" The money you collect would be cheques sent by the scammer or another (usually unknowing) accomplice, the cheques will be fake but will pass the banks initial clearance allowing you access to the money.
The scammer then will want you to forward the money to him (usually by Western Union) and he will tell you to keep a percentage as a commission (10% is quite common) eventually the banks will realise that the cheques you deposited are fake and they will reverse the transactions and then contact the police.
The second "job" is to be a cheque printer/sender, the scamer will help you to set up your own fake cheque printing station where you will create and send the fake cheques yourself, your payment is likely to be by way of writing a cheque for yourself, when the banks and police catch up with you there is little chance that you will avoid jail time whiel the scammer, pockets bulging from the money you sent moves onto his next victim.

Re: SCAMMER NAMED MICHAEL GRANT: michaelgrant22@ymail.com
Either you email has been hacked (least likely).
Or your scammer could also be a sPammer (not likely).
Or you or your scammer have the incredibly annoying habit of sending chain letters or other silly email stuff to "all contacts" ... this way, a spammer has gotten your email and from now on, spam will increase. The spammer spoofs the email addy he knows you may know so that you delete it not before at least having a glance over it.
This could be verified by the email h e a d e r
