Job scam quick guide: it's a scam if...

  • they want you to collect and forward money in any way (a "money mule" job). You'll wind up engaged in money laundering, personally defrauded via expertly forged cheques, money orders, etc, or defrauding someone else who pays for goods that never arrive.
  • they want you to receive packages and reship them somewhere else. The goods will have been obtained fraudulently, and they're just using you to make the shipping address appear local. You will be aiding fraud.
  • they want up-front payment (either to them or someone else) of any sort for anything before you can get the job. This is advance fee fraud: there is no job -- it's just a big con to extract money from you.
  • they want you to buy any kind of "membership" or "kit" in order to start. Forget it -- it's not a real job at all: they're trying to sell you something, and they're probably making a bunch of other false claims about it if they're pitching it as a "job".
  • it's a job offer, and it's spam. There are LOTS of these scams about, as you can see.

Suncoast Gold Macadamias (Impostors)

This message originated from 81.199.62.89, which is in Nigeria. Golly gosh, it's not from Australia at all, let alone from the Suncoast Gold Macadamia company! Could it be that the sender is one of those notorious Nigerian scammers? (Hint: YES.)

Dear Friend,

Suncoast Gold Macadamias (Australia) Limited sells Bulk and
Roasted/Flavoured products,Gourment Products and gift packs,Retails Packs and Various Recipes. We have reached big sales volume in the European and Asian market and now are trying to penetrate the Northern American market. Quite soon we will open representative offices and authorized sales centers in North America and therefore we are currently looking for people
who will assist us in establishing a new distribution network there. The fact that despite the Nothern America market is new for us we already have regular clients also speaks for itself.

WHY YOU?
The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in Australia is 25%, whereas for the individual it is only 7%. That.s why we need you! We need agents to receive payment for our products in their locality and to resend the money to us. This way we will save money because of tax decreasing.

HOW MUC H WI LL YOU EARN?
7%-9% from each sale/resale operation! For instance: you receive 1000 USD to your bank account. You will withdraw the money and keep $70 (7% from $1000) for yourself! At the beginning your commission will equal 7%, though later it will increase up to 9%!

ADVANTAGES
You do not have to go out as you will work as an independent contractor right from your home office. Your job is absolutely legal. You can earn up to $3000-4000 depending on time you will spend for this job. You do
not need any capital to start. The employees who make efforts and work hard have a strong possibility to become managers. Anyway our employees never leave us.

If you are interested in our offer, please feel free to indicate so in your reply to us.

Please, to facilitate the conclusion of this transaction if accepted, do send me promptly by email the following:

(1)Your full names,

(2)Contact address,

(3)Phone/fax numbers,

(4)Occupation.


Thanks for your time.

Your's Sincerely,
Jim Twentyman.

OMNICITY HOTEL OTTAWA CANADA (Impostors)

"Come and work in a hotel" is a scam usually associated with advance fee fraud, meaning that they'll want you to send money via Western Union sooner or later -- and probably not to Canada. They made a right hash of this one: not only is the English dodgy, but the links to contacts are screwed up too.

Jones Art World

This one is a fairly well-explained money mule scam based around forged checks or money orders. It has a bit of an identity crisis, though: is it "Susart World Inc." or "Jones Art World in China Inc."? It probably was "Susart World Inc" originally, but scammers change the names of their businesses about as often as they change their underwear: somewhere between weekly and monthly.

to assist as a representative, so all you need do is cash the money order

in Washington,that if anybody gets away with my money they will definately
get hold with the person,and the person will go to JAIL for LOOTING my
funds , you are to receive the MONEY ORDERS PAYMENT which will be sent to

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR US.
But we have a problem thats setting us back.We have some problem collecting our payments from our US clients.The international money transfer tax for legal entities(companies) in Latvia is 25%,whereas for the individual,it is only 7%.There is no sense for us to work this way, while tax for international money transfer made by a private individual is 7%.That's why we need you! We need agents to receive payment for our textiles( in money orders,cheque or bank wire transfers) from our clients in the US and to resend the money to us via Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer.This way we will save money because of tax decreasing.

JOB DESCRIPTION
1. Recieve payment from Clients.
2. Cash Payments at your Bank.
3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed.
4. Forward balance afer deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be

Dear Sir/Madam!

We are a small and relatively new Software Development and Outsourcing
Company specializing in enterprise application development, system integration,
corporate networks and other software solutions for business and finance. The company based in Ukraine (Europe).
We’ve earned ourselves a reputation of a reliable and trustworthy partner working
successfully with a number of West European Australia and North American companies and
providing them with reliable software development services in financial, telecom and media sectors.
Unfortunately we are currently facing some difficulties with receiving payments for our services.
It usually takes us 10-30 days to receive a payment from your country and such delays
are harmful to our business. We do not have so much time to accept every wire transfer
and we can't accept cashier’s checks or money orders as well. That’s why we are currently
looking for partners in your country to help us accept and process these payments faster.

If you are looking for a chance to make an additional profit you can become our representative in your country.
As our representative you will receive 8% of every deal we conduct. Your job will be accepting funds
in the form of wire transfers and check payments and forwarding them to us. It is not a full-time job,
but rather a very convenient and fast way to receive additional income. We also consider opening an
office in your country in the nearest future and you will then have certain privileges should you decide
to apply for a full-time job.

This is an entry level opportunity in the field of financial services.
Our financial professionals work with clients to help them achieve their
many financial goals such as saving on taxes.

We therefore solicit your assistance in remitting this money and facilitating transactions.
If you believe you would be able to undertake such a task and are interested in this job, please
respond to eurosoftmarkdp@aim.com   and send us the following information about yourself:

1. Your Full Name as it appears on your resume.


2. Education.


3. Your Contact Address.


4. Telephone/Fax number.


5. Your present Occupation and Position currently held.


6. Your Age


Please respond ASAP and we will provide you with additional details on how you can become our representative.
Joining us and starting business today will cost you nothing and you will be able to earn a bit of extra money fast and easy.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at the address mentioned above. Looking forward to hearing from you.


Sincerely,


Victor Drujkov,

Middle east and Europe we have decided to move our products fully into the
above continent. By so doing, we are se arching for reliable

for outstanding debt on behalf of the company. Our account officer will
convey to you the medium which you will use to remit any funds received on
our behalf.
