Thanks, I just got this offer and I wasn't too sure about it.

I was searching for jobs on craiglist and i also came across this job McKechnie Automotive & Engineered Plastics. I also received the same email like Chris but after reading this posting of possible scam i refused the job offer. There was no office location to work from, you have to work from home making check deposits to sellers of the company. I thought this was strange, how can a company trust people with their money without supervision. Thanks i was going to make a huge mistake taking this job.

I applied for a Desk clerk job.. then got this email saying the position had been closed, (which I hadn't applied for), so he was offering this instead. The amounts being offered were exhorbent, so I checked it out, just in case. Really glad I did, now. :) Thanks!

Thank you,I just got the same email.It's definetely scam...

I just received the exact same email. Thank you for posting this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too!!! Thanks for posting!

Thank you! I've eagerly seeking job and have been browsing through Craigslist and sent an email to this company. I got the exact same email responding to my inquiry! So, yea... thank you very much for posting

Thanks. I received the same exact thing.

Thank you sooo much!! I was wondering about this and tried to get some background information and found this site!! I even gave them my info before really thinking about it! Will not cash anything from this company!

WOW! I got the same exact email. The gramar in the email was horrible and They were calling me Mr. Jasmine unless there is anyone out there who is a male and has a female name. I got a check from them in the mail. I looked up the company and I ripped the check because I wasnt too sure about it. My mom was telling me that any funds that has to go though a thrid party has something to do with illegal transactions and so i emailed the guy and told him not to send me anymore checks after I found out that his company was a scam. He emailed me back and said he was going to send the police to my house because I was not going to get away with his money so easyly. I told him I would call them my self and show them the check he sent me. I asked him If he wanted me to rip the check and he responded very nicely and said yes please!! LOL.. never got an email from him after that!! LOL

I even typed their company website in the BBB search box and it came back saying they had no records of such company and thats when i knew they were full of it!! LOL

I am Stuart Sonley working for McKechnie Plastic Components in Pickering and Stamford Bridge. We have had several e-mails to my legitamate e-mail address ssonley[at]mpcpick.com and have notified people straight away that it is a scam.
Remember though McKechnie is real and so am I, I am not too impressed with being named in the scam!

Dear Mr. Maganielo,

Thank you for contacting me regarding the Administrative Assistant position. I am very interested in the position as described below however I would like some additional information. Is this a work from home position? If so, would customers be contacting me via telephone and would that require a separate telephone line? Regarding wire transfers and check deposits; do you have an account with a major bank set up in my area that I would use and if so, which one?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Cheryl

I got a similar one to this yesterday. The company's name was S R W Group Limited. Another way you can tell it's a scam is when they get a little lazy. I received one solicitation in September where the employer said he could meet with me because he would be gone for three months (would have been December) then a few paragraphs later said he could meet in August which had already happened. Use your spider senses, you feel weird about something, like they won't meet with you or talk on the phone, check it out online and most likely you will find out it is a scam. I've gotten over 30 of these solicitations in this last month.
