Default Telecommute Web Site Scam
I search for potential jobs at http://www.telecommutejoblist.com

I came home yesterday and opened my mail to find that I received a Cashier's Check for $2,410.00 made out to me and a letter stating that I was selected due to my resume at telecommutejoblist.com to participate in a survey job. The check shows it was issued by a Decorah Bank & Trust Company. I researched this and of course found out that this is a fraud. If you happen to receive one of these checks, fax a copy of the check, letter you received and the envelope to 563-382-2559. It appears this scam started in the beginning of July, 2008. Dawn
