Once we receive an answer from you, i will notify you with the date and tracking number of your first check.

Thanks and i will be waiting to hear from you soonest.

I just got this from K and M beadshop. Thank you for warning us. I found this unusual and start searching to learn more about the company and the man. So for others who might get one from him please don't contact him.

Hello Applicant,

Thanks for the feedback to my message concerning the Personal Administrative Assistant I need. Take time to go through this introductory mail and feel free to pass any questions/concerns on.

My profile in brief:
I am Jason Turner, 45 and a father of 3 wonderful kids, a successful businessman and investor. I own an electronic stores, bead shop and clothing store in Cambridge,United Kingdom (run by K and M Creations Limited). I produce arts design, handmade craft work,excellent language arts and math materials for children and teachers in grades kindergarten through three . I'm also a research journalist and I travel every now and then within and outside the States working on various independent projects. I am currently in the United Kingdom seeing to the acquisition of a new location for my store. This is why I need someone who can help keep up to date with all of my activities especially when I'm away and amidst my busy schedule.

I have had a previous Personal Assistant who was very commendable in her activities and who has been part of my life for the past 3 years and 6 months. She has moved on with her personal life and it has affected me in a way. I found her previously on the craigslist website and I sincerely hope I will be able to find someone again who will be as efficient as she has been. Please note that you are being hired only on a personal basis. All correspondence would be made and promptly reported to me personally. The position is part time and home-based meaning you can work most times from your home as long as you have regular internet access. You will be hired on a trial basis for now until we are able to see how well we fit in. This however does not affect your weekly wage. Most of your activities will be carried out locally and official packages will be delivered via post. You will be actively involved in my personal, business and financial life. In summary, your activities as my Personal Administrative Assistant amongst other things will include;

* Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence.
* Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring.
* Organizing and maintaining diaries, memos and making appointments.
* Dealing with incoming email, faxes and post.
* Carrying out background research and presenting findings.
* A personal reminder for Schedules, programs, flights and keeping me up to date with them as they come up.
* Making returns
* Arranging travel and accommodation.
* Carrying out specific projects and research.
* Taking on some of the my responsibilities and working more closely with management and other staff related to me.
* Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
* Handling and monitoring financial activities.
* Processing and taking charge of weekly payments and purchases.
* General clerical activities.

Basic wage is $400 a week.

Any extra personal expenses (transport, gas, etc) incurred by you while on an errand or otherwise will be reimbursed by me at the end of each working week. This position is very flexible and it is difficult judging the exact number of hours you will be working. The 1099 tax system shall be applied. Bear in mind that there will be busier weeks than others with a steady pay. Working with me is basically about instructions and following them and keeping correspondence with me at all times. I understand that calling long distance from the States costs a fortune, but you don't have to worry about that. Just shoot me a mail and I'll call you as soon as I get to read your mail. Instructions on all assignments to be carried out will be given promptly, so you can schedule yourself to be available to carry out the assignment promptly. There is also a very sensitive issue on trust, dedication and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on.

This is only an introductory e-mail, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting to get things started officially. I'm currently in England for a project. However, I do have a number of things you could help me with immediately, prior to my arrival. I should be back in the States in the next six weeks and will schedule a proper meeting with you upon my arrival to clarify the duties you will be carrying out for me perhaps your application is accepted.
Due to the excessive number of responses to my ad, provide the following details about yourself for my personal record update and to filter applicants.

Full Address with apt #:
City,State,Zip Code

Present Occupation:

I hope you can be available to start work immediately before I arrive. It certainly will act as a stable foundation to our impending working relationship.

I have been a victim of Jason turner and I am in the middle of a big mess with my bank, I have received the exact same email, and I have made several reports.

I have received one from Jason Turner from aPe Computers and he is 45 with 3 kids. I did see on the whois website that a Peter Evans is the possible webmaster for ape-computers.com but, not sure if he's real or the real Jason Turner. I thought it was fishy him being in London but, he didn't ask for anything personal other than my birthdate and name/address. No link to background checks or anything. In the last email saying I have been chosen for the position, he wants me to cash a check, deduct 400 for myself and take the rest to a foster home for a donation....and also making a couple purchases...with that $$ I don't know. Not mine! I am tempted to respond back and say sorry I'm not falling for your scam beadman. LOL hah.

I received an identical email (word for word) after forwarding my resume in response to a Craigslist.org job posting. They're still at it.

Yep I Also got the exact same email! May 23, 2011. We have the same last name but no connection!! He wont give up!

I received the same one! Totally a SCAM!!

I received the same email from the very busy Turner. He asked for the same things, address, phone etc. Glad that my friend found him out. He is an APE alright.

I recieved the same e-mail from jason turner and did not realize it was a scam until just now...i did send him my name and address...should i be doing anything with just giving him that information?

Ape computers doesn't even exsist. I just tried to look it up on the bbb's website and it doesn't even exsist. This is a scam!!!!

I just found Jason Turner / Ape computers on Craigslist and the same exact emails that i'm reading on here is the same ones I have got. I have made a police report because of the fake check he is sending out. I advise others to do the same and to keep all the emails he is sending for more proof of his scam.
