I need to do this asap because I don’t trust the company that hired me.
The company is SEA Services in France. They specialize in
e-marketing, according to their website. I applied for a newspaper advertising job. This position consists of placing job ads for European companies in US newspapers but I will also receive few orders from various US companies that SEA Services work with to place ads in Canada and Europe newspapers. A cashier check to place the ads will be sent to me.
I got the check today but have not opened it because my brother says it’s a scam. But don’t scams ask you for money and not send you a check?
The check is of $1,925. I have three days to place the ads.
I don’t know what to do because the check is from Justice Investors, in San Francisco, and they want me to wire money to a guy in Austria. I need to send $1485 for ads to Austria.
My question is, why can’t they do it? Why can’t Justice Investors send the money themselves?
I’m scared. I need money and though this would be an easy way to make it but now I feel like this company or people are using me.
Have a look:
