Soluzione Casa Ltd

Victim Location 28092

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I was contacted by Silvia Bassi and offered a position of employment in real estate. The job was to find out what the clients needs were and connect them to a real estate agent. The position quickly changed to a check cashing scheme. I was told that a company named *** *** was going to mail me a check and I was to deposit or cash the check. Then I would deduct 5% and mail the difference to Soluzione Casa Ltd. I immedately emailed Silvia Bassi and told her that I was not going to do this. She said to do it this one time and then I could quit. She then started harassing me about not doing as I was instructed. I had not even received the check yet!!! When the check came, it was an obvious fraud check. The name of the company was incorrect, the routing number was missing the squares, the paper was like cheap copy paper and the return address on the envelope was a hamburger restaurant in California. I contacted the REAL company and spoke to their Fraud / Risk Assessment department. They advised that the check was indeed a fake. Per their request, I mailed them the check, copies of the emails from Silvia Bassi and the return envelope. Since then, I have been threatened with a lawsuit by Silvia Bassi for refusing to cash or deposit the fraudulent check. Today, a "lawyer" left me a voicemail threatening suit. Their phone number was a SPAM number and their name is not listed on Google.
