Stay at home mom looking for work is targeted by online thieves

How to Start a Home Based Catering Business St. Petersburg, Florida-Donna Gonzalez wants to work at home for the sake of her daughter Leah. She recently posted her resume on websites like Career Builder.Com and quickly got a reply, ?They just need people who already had bank accounts set up, so we could cash the checks for them.? According to Donna, a company called Global Healthcare Inc.,out of London, sent her a contract asking her to cash checks and wire them the money. It was supposedly quicker than doing it overseas.

Donna was promised 10-percent of the money cashed, ?It looked legitimate I mean I went to paralegal school and I knew some contractual law and so the contract looked legitimate, but it wasn’t evidentially.? After Donna cashed a check from a “so called” customer and wired the company more than 25-hundred dollars,she later found out the check was fake and she was the one who was stuck paying, ?I was so devastated I cried so hard.? Sgt. Kevin Smith of the St. Petersburg Police Department says, he gets calls like this one at least two times a week, ?It’s heartbreaking because you really hate to see people out there trying to work, trying to sell something to be taken advantage of.? Sgt. Kevin Smith says websites like Career Builder.Com are safe, but people need to be more aware of who they’re dealing with, ?Unfortunately anybody has a right to log in and look at those resumes so you really don’t know who’s actually offering you a job.?
