Just wanted to alert my fellow VA's to a new scammer out there.

I was contacted the other day by a man named Tony Mayer who stated he was a Consultant for USAID.gov and was in need of my services. his email address was @roysupport.com

I had a weird feeling from the get-go but decided to pursue it a bit further to either find it legit or to get more info to alert USAID.gov to a scam.

I did a ton of research and found Anthony Mayer was indeed a Consultant for USAID.gov but could find nothing on the roysupport.com domain.

Well after several days back and forth the kicker email showed up this morning.
He had asked how invoices would be paid and I provided Paypal as an option.

Today's email? he stated I would have to transfer the money to MY bank account to pay contractors by check.

Just the red flag I was waiting for.

So he has been notified to not contact me again for illegal activities and I then emailed the REAL Tony Mayer to alert him to the problem as well as USAID.gov's.
