If you would not trust this, please give me a heads up on something that will work?? I did google the company - but the company is suposedly based in London and does not show up on a US search. I tried Yahoo International, UK and Ireland, no go, nothing good or bad. I did however search the bank the cashier's check is drawn on, and it does exsist.

1. I would not trust this. If you did not apply directly to the job he's describing or even know what hes talking about dont give any information...do a google search on it and find out reviews upon the guy. If he cannot give you more information that you want he isnt worth it cuz he's beating around the bush which does not sound right
2. Looks pretty safe google the company
3. There is no Queen Close in London
4. Run for your life. In my opinion, it's a total scam. In every con game, there has to be a "sting", a time when they actually ask you for money. Up until you hand over cash, you can always back out. But I can see that they are already laying the groundwork for the sting in this case. That remark about "certified checks". Sure. What will most likely happen is that they will send you a bad check, and insist that you cash it immediately and send them most of the money (probably by wire transfer, so it can't be traced). The check will bounce, of course. But before it does, they will be long gone with your hard-earned cash. Be warned that most "work at home" offers are scams. That's unfortunate, because there are a lot of people like you who need that kind of work. Predators know that and take advantage. You might want to report them to the FBI or your State Attorneys General before they rob other people.
