Thank goodness for this link from google on the versa gold software. Very similar situation came up with me from an ad on craigslists for a payroll assistant. Like the old saying goes “if it sounds to good to be true it probably is”.
So did anyone actually go through with this? Give you information to them? What happened?
What a scam!!!! Do people actually fall for this without any search on the company they want to work for? Email from peolpe overseas and no phone numbers to contact them and they don’t want to talk to you but they want to hire you for accounts payable (aka MONEY MULE for fake checks). They use a real company name but know one knows who they are if you call thier HR. And this damn G7PS website, may its owners burn in hell, operates freely as the connection for these nigerian or whatever they are scam artist to look real. G7PS.com sells fake printers. hello people!! a $200 INKJET printer can not print a real bank check. Only $2000 LASER printer can do this. How can the FBI let this site operate? It’s putting U.S. citizens behind bars for becoming money mules yet it keeps letting this f**king site still operate. LETS STOP THE MADNESS PEOPLE.
I actually did fall for this, and I did check with the company and checked the name of the person that “hired” me. Apparently these scammers are smart enough to use an actual employee that works in the stated company. Thank goodness I only lost what amounts to pennies compared to some of the horror stories I’ve heard since I found out I was scammed. I also agree that G7Productivity should be investigated and closed for assisting these horrible people with the scam. I thought I was pretty bright, but this has made me feel like a complete fool! I was just wanting supplemental income for my family.
I also fell for a similar scam from a certain Larry Martin who said he worked for Coca- cola. He asked me to buy the versa ink and check software and was eager to make sure I could print the checks but refused to tell me what sector of coca- cola he works for. He said he would pay me via western union and reimburse the items I bought. I wised up pretty quickly…. unfortunately he is still messaging me on yahoo even though I deleted him and sent him the craigslist ad that calls him out as a fraud. http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/ofc/1971863520.html
I feed duped and personally violated. I’m just glad he doesnt have any of my banking info.
I’m glad I didn’t lose a lot of money, just the cost of the check software, so I feel very lucky! I found my scammer on craigslist for Utah. The only thing is, he was actually using a real name from the company he said I would be working for, so when I checked, there was the person. As you, I feel violated, too. Thank goodness this person isn’t near me. He is still harrassing me through my yahoo as well, and even though I have contacted the FBI about this, no one has even called to follow up with me. And we wonder why these people keep doing it? Because nobody is following up on this!!!! Makes me sick.
I almost fell for it some one on yahoo messinger from someone I thought was a friend. I was told he needed a “payroll Assistant” and all I needed was the printer and the versa check paper and I was to send him the reciept for anything I sent by Western Union. I would be required to send out “86 checks a day”and I would earn $800 a month.
Somethin wasn’t sittin right with me because 1) I never heard of versa check till now and 2) I never heard of a company who pays their employees everyday by check, and 3) My gut was tellin me somethin was wrong.
So I started to check thigs out and wound up here. I have deleted this person from my yahoo list and stay “premanantly off line” to him but he still contacts me as do some others. Is there any way to stop them?
Thanks

a lady name Tracy Rose contacted me about a payroll assistant. 1200 dollars a month to process payroll. They would furnish the software i woukd be refunded my expenses monthly. I couldn:t see how I could process a blankl check with ni signature, said she would scan it in , but also cound not furnish me with the names od=f the banks.The address she used for the company was as follows
Excel Pay Business Solutions, LLC
2625 Cumberland Parkway, Suite 100
Atlanta GA 30339
The LLC is listed with GA but address is completely different
When asked about that said it was completely Legit. Google the address and it belongs to another company
New it was to good to be trued
