Deborah Wilburn Avensys UK Group Ltd, Check Cashing Scam Kidderminster, Worcs, DY11 7RA Internet
I received an email that appeared too good to be true. The job was I would receive checks from the companys customers, I was to cash the checks, take a percentage and send the rest of the cash to a yet to be determined location. I would also be paid a monthly 'salary' of $4800 for my troubles.
The company name provided appeared to be in good standing but the email address I was getting was an EarthLink email domain and not from Avensys, like an employee of that company would normally use.. [email protected] instead of the expected '[email protected]' address.
I did receive two checks totaling $1950 and attempted to call the bank that they were drawn on to verify the funds. I was told that the bank does not offer that service, all I could do was take them to a branch (out of state) and see if they would cash. Of course, I could not do that.
I did deposit them in to my account instead of cashing them outright even though my instructions were not to do so. I wanted to make sure the checks actually cleared. 4 days later the checks still appear good, but I am sure that any time now I will receive a notice from my bank that they are fraud.
Any emails I receive from Deborah Wilburn appear to be form letters, many times they are the same emails over and over. I am convinced this is a scam, just like the others listed above.

Good Luck with your dealings. I checked my account today and the checks were returned as fraudulant and cost me $30 for each check in return fees. This is definately a SCAM.
I find it strange that "Deborah" would confirm with me that I need a bank account when I was "hired" but that you said you do not even have one. Not having a bank account in this day and age is strange enough, but she "hired" you without one?
I also find it strange that if everything is going so well with your experience, why are you even on this fraud message board about this topic?
In my humble opinion, I saved myseld a lot of grief and money by listening to my gut. This was indeed way too good to be true and I was almost out over $2000. I sat on the deposits longer than I normally would have to see what happened and am glad that I did. I was almost convinced the checks were genuine after the first week of no news. Today I have the proof I needed.
Next, I get to contact the District Attourney's office in Lehigh Vallay, PA and give them the information that I have collected on this subject. The IP address should not be too hard to find from the fake EarthLink email account. If the scammer used their home PC at all, ever, to access that account then thats all they should need.
Again, good luck with your dealings. I suspect the same thing will happen to you over time.

I am a stay at home mom who applied for this job in career builder and heard back around late june of this year. I too thought it was a scam but this is how i know it isnt in the email she says too deposit it in your bank acct. I do not have one so i went to walmart and cashed both checks one for 970 and the other 980 took out my 10% +150 and sent the rest throught the mail. Walmart took out 6 bucks all together and i deducted that from my cut i made over 400 bucks that day and sent it off July 14 2016. I can text miss deborah and she responds back never recieved the same text over and over also i am expecting more checks to come walmart cleared the checks no problem i sent it to the location they gave me and that was that. I will continue to believe this is not a scam due to the fact it is great money that they are trusting you with take out your cut then send the remainder i will also let you know if i recieve that end of the month check.
