Description
Someone pretended to be a professor named James William at University of North Texas and emailed me about a job opportunity of being a Remote Personal Assistant for someone named “Dickens Tyrone” at a nonprofit organization called World Vision International. They hired me within a day and had me making Bitcoin investments for them. They offered to pay me between $650-$750 per week and asked that I be able to reserve hotels and flights and run personal errands. They sent me $3,500 to my personal banking account for the bitcoin purchases. This money was sent through a digital check that I deposited into my personal account.
