A young Greene County woman says she wants to warn others of what she thinks is a new Internet scam.

The woman, who asked that her name not be used, said she was contacted by a "work at home" company after posting her resume on the "Craig's List" Web site recently.

Then, she said, she received by UPS, a $3,800.35 check, which she was instructed to cash at her bank, retain 10 percent and send the remainder by Western Union to a Knoxville woman.

But the Greene County woman said she was suspicious of the offer and contacted Wells Fargo bank, the bank that appeared to have issued the check to her.

When she did so, she said, she was told that the account on which the check was written did not exist.

Had she cashed the check, she said, she would have had to pay the funds back to her local bank because the check was bogus.

"I just hope no one else does this," she said.
