Description
An individual who goes by the name Michael Jameel stated he was over the Jameel Arts Museum and was hiring me as his personal assistant to run errands and handle tasks 2-3 hours a day and get paid $850 per week. He also used a secondary email [email protected]. He sent a check in the mail and stated for me to deposit the check into my personal bank and then get 6 money orders in $500 increments and mail to his “supplier” so that set work can be retrieved. The address was to a Chris Miller with the address of 696 E 241st st Bronx, NY 10470. When that didn’t work, he told me to go to several different stores to get $500 Apple gift cards only and scratch off the code and send to him. He was pressing for urgency and rushing me to do so. I stopped answering his calls and he continued to call repeatedly. Even as early as 6a on the weekend. He claims to be out of town on a business trip.
