Employment Scams
EXAMPLE OF AN EMPLOYMENT SCAM
Greetings. (A general greeting instead of one addressed specifically to you. If they do not even know your name let alone anything about you, why would they offer you a job handling thousands of dollars of their money?
Would you be interested in a home job that allows you to earn up to $10000 per month? No start up fees, no envelope stuffing nonsense. We proudly present Amato Logistics Co. Ltd. (No listing of this company on the Internet)
The job we offer will not affect your present career, it will only take a small part of your time.
The only things you need to have to start running your business with our company are reliable Internet/E-mail access and checking/savings bank account. (These scams require that you have a bank account) And of course your decency and willingness to earn.
The first vacancy is Transfer manager:
The nature of the job is payment processing.
It is related to online banking operating the funds from either our company or our partners to designated bank account approved by our (poor grammar-no reputable company would send a poorly worded e-mail like this)
manager keeping specified money transaction fee as a commission for your services (usually between $150 to $500, no less than $150 per transfer).
You will receive the funds which our customers/resellers send directly to you and forward it to us or our agents (less your commission)via one of chosen money transfer agencies. (The checks you receive will look very real because they are copies of real checks on real businesses. Your bank will probably make the money available to you within a day or two, but that doesnt mean the checks are good.
The job is rather simple and you won't need any special knowledge to become our partner, though we do require that you are able to act on a very short notice. (The perpetrators of this scam require that you forward the money very quickly, before you discover that the checks you receive are counterfeit). Even if your bank has made the funds available to you, when the check is determined to be counterfeit, the bank will reclaim all of the money and you will have lost anything you wired to another party.
We can afford to pay such a decent commission only because we keep our customers happy with our promptness.
And the second is Shipment manager.
The job we offer is related to mail. It is an easy part time job that doesnt require leaving your main occupation. You will be receiving mail and packages for our clients, either repack them or ship them further out following our managers instructions. (Packages are purchased with stolen or counterfeit credit cards. The company which shipped the package will assume you are part of the fraud since you received the shipment. Besides they can find you, but they cant find the person who placed the order with a bad credit card.
For those who look for career opportunities its a chance of becoming a part of our team in the future (based on your performance), team in which you will be highly respected and decently rewarded - just think about this! We will be hoping to hear from you soon. ylbiz@businessmail.hk
