Scam Warning - Todd Mayer - London
Hello VAs!

I received an email from a Todd Mayer in London on Sunday and was very excited about his proposition for 2 months worth of work at 30 hours a week. His client, Mary Morgan, needed a VA. Everything he said sounded rational and it was only tonight (Tuesday), when I was drafting the bid, did I really attempt to verify his address.
Well..... it is a scam. This site only confirms it: http://activerain.com/blogsview/131714/New-Scam-or-so

Please beware!

Abby

Thanks, for the head-up.

Networked world has its own perils, and VA community needs to remain in close contact with each other to ensure that not more than one VA on this forum gets affected.
