Can some one please help me? I am just a college student who was looking for a job and when i got the email i gave them my basic information(name, address, email, phone number) Can they steal any of my info or am I ok since I did not cash any checks? Thanks for the posts

Thank you for the postings of other job replies. I just got one from HL Plastics LTD. and it sounded strange for a Data Entry Receptionist position and the english grammar was a little bad. Without the name of someone in Human Resources and no address on th e-mail or on their "website" it just sounded wrong. Please be careful with craigslist adds. Anyone can make a posting so be careful who you respond to and always check with the "Better Business Bureau". I checked before I checked HL Plastics' website and they did not have any record of them. That alone was a huge red flag for me. Hope this helps others. Thank you for your comments

Thanks to you I did not give my personal information to HL Plastics.

I got an email and responded then they very next day I got a check. I was not home and UPS tried to redeliver the check today. I had not checked my emails for a day or so and when I checked it this morning the subject line from these people read "WHY THE SILENCE" as if they were yelling at me. That prompted me to google them and now Im glad I did. I will now refuse the package from UPS>

I definitely got the same email and now will not give any information or attempt to pursue the "position."

I applied today, and received a quick response luckily I searched the Company on Google since the whole e-mail i received was rather shady and very unbelivable.

Ditto, and thanks for the warnings on this post.

I received this email. Unfortunately, I wasn't bright enough to detect the scam right away so I sent them my information. Two days later, I get a check for $2550.00. This all looked very fishy (lots of names, various addresses, etc.) so I filed a complaint with the FTC this morning, and have no intention of cashing the check. Hope they go down hard on these guys.

Yup- I got exactly the same e-mail. And if you have to ask yourself if it's a scam...it probably is. Thanks for posting this

One more thing...I knew right away that it looked suspicious...so I forwarded it to spam[at]uce.gov When I looked at the salary that they were offering I thought: Hmmmm...if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Forward the message, in its entirety, to spam[at]uce.gov
Best of Luck to you all, and remember, if something seems too good to be true, than it probaly is!

I got da same email but outta desperation I first emailed him wid my details and den googled it...haha..jus calle up my bank and informed dem bout da same...

Yep, got this email yesterday. Unfortunately, just like many others on here, I was so excited about getting a reply that I sent them my information. The good thing is I didn't send them any bank infor or anything because that would DEFINITELY raise a red flag in my mind.

My question is, if I haven't send them any bank info, just the address (etc.) should I not be worried? Basically, I should cut all communication and not cash their check if it ever comes in?

Too good to be true...
Thank goodness for this site, when I received the email, I immediately search for the HI Plastics and up came this this site. Here the email they sent me:

[duplicate message truncated]

Definitely just almost did it. Then I searched HL Plastics, and this came up, it's the exact same email, thank you for the warning - Nothing is that good to be true.

Even early in the morning, before my first cup of coffee, I could tell this was scammy. All I want is to find an honest job and I have to put up with crap like this. Any time I'm asked to use my own personal bank account to cash checks for someone else, I get very suspicious. I'll forward this information to the proper internet authorities who work with the FBI. Thank you for having this site available.

Yep, I got a similar email from this "company". Luckily, I wanted to research the company to write my cover letter to what their company description was. I found this link about HL Plastics being a scam. Thank you! Just in time. Here is the email I received, a bit different from the ones listed above.
[comment condensed]
