I was contacted by Stephen Alvarez from Jay Jenkins Foundation about a
part-time job opportunity to process donation and to be distributed to
the assigned receivers. He got my information from Careerbuilder. He
has Jay Jenkins email address. He asked me to print-out the W-4 from
their website. I filled it out and fax it to
them, then fill out the online form to tell them that it's been faxed.

I supposed to cash the cashier's check they sent me. What made me
become suspicious is when Stephen told me that he does not provide
live support, and the return address on the envelope is only 3
initials and PO Box number in Houston, TX. I have yet cashed the
check, because that could be a counterfeit check. I heard a lot this
type of scam.

The compensation is 7% of the donation and not include processing and
transfer fee which is deducated separately from my 7%. This seems very
easy, and they promise $500 on the first week. It sounds too good to
be true. Why don't they do it themselves?

I want to know if Jay Jenkins Foundation and this type of work is
legit or not. What worried me the most is that my Social security
could used fraudulently especially in this era where we can see alot
of indentity thefts.

And this is the link for the fax confirmation.

I was mistaken that they told me to fax the W-4. But since they didn't
ask for my social security number, how are they going to issue me 1099
for at the end of the year for tax purpose?
