The new CEO is John Clarke and the ad was from Craigslist for an accounting assistant. I wanted more info so I asked how payments would be made and what I would be responsible for. He said that an account would be set up once he arrived in the States.
The ad sounded like a legitimate position but once I received the email, I knew it wasn't. My email said it would basically take 2-3 hours a day and I would make $2k/month.
I had asked for the name of the company and this came up so I'm grateful to know I was right, that it is a scam. Good Grief, I'm just trying to find a legitimate job!!

I was looking through the "ads" looking for a job and there was a job for a Transaction Manager position. I contacted them. They sent me a "job description" which was vague. A lady called me and after talking with her and her telling me that I had to have a checking account I knew exactly what it was. Also, not knowing abou this "arts and crafts" thing, there is a job posted on indeed.com for a professional representative. I couldn't get it to come up online to apply so I found the address and to day I went there, there is nothing there. Now after reading all of this I know why. Thank you.

CALL YOUR LOCAL POLICE ASAP SO THEY CAN NOTIFY THE FBI TO LINK ALL OF US TOGETHER AND BUILD A CASE AGAINST THESE GUYS FOR ALL OF US!! YOUR EVIDENCE IS NEEDED!!!

I went ahead and tested this 'Tim Bromley' and got one of his 'Clients' Checks in the mail yesterday. Instead of taking it to my bank, I took it to a check cashing service, and they looked at the check and without a pause, said it was a fake check. They took the check, stamped void on it, and told me to not deal with this person, or people again.

So do not believe them.

Last email I got was him telling me to send off $3780 to South Africa.
Please don't do anything with this Arts and Crafts Inc.
Save yourself.

I sent him a letter wanting to hear more and the response alluded to that you can make a lot of money with just 1 hour a day... people stay AWAY from this stuff! I have been looking for a new job for a while now and I have found so much of this crap, a lot of schools scam you on career builder as well. For example there is are jobs with "free" training but really they want you to go to their school and if you give them your phone number schools and agencies wont stop bugging you.

So, be careful.
