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.

Safit US


The job description looks like a "reshipper" scam, but their website claims that they are in software development, so what goods could they possibly want re-shipped? The usual answer to that question is "expensive consumer electronics, like laptop computers". Anyhow, stay away from this scam unless aiding international fraudsters is your idea of a good career move.

HeartMicroTech Inc

"Remote Financial Operator" is yet another way of saying "money mule". The originating IP address of this particular spam was 81.215.204.30 (delegated to Turk Telecom), and I'm not sure whether that means the scammer himself is in Turkey, or whether it's just been sent through a compromised end user computer there. Anyhow, it's all terribly vague, but the punch line is usually that they want some kind of (fraudulent) payment converted into a Western Union money transfer.

Noni Health Care

This is just another dodgy Nigerian (IP address 41.219.193.87) wanting you to bank his fake checks in exchange for real money. What's amusing is that he's linked to noni.com in the process, suggesting that it's some sort of charity. It's not: they are purveyors of an exotic (and bad smelling) "health food" sold through network marketing. I should therefore emphasise that this listing is for our friend the dodgy Nigerian scammer pretending to be "Noni Health Care", not the actual sellers of the nasty Tahitian Noni gunk.

Shell Nigeria

This has the general outline of an Advance Fee Fraud scam. Anyone who applies for any of the available positions will be accepted, but expected to pay certain "processing fees" of one kind or another. If you're really lucky, you'll be invited to go to Nigeria, then kidnapped and held for ransom! I'm not making this up -- Nigeria is a hotbed of damnable cutthroat scammers.

Dear Sir/Ma,
   How are you doing today? I would like to know if you really like to work from home,RUMFORD TEXTILES needs a book-keeper in the states, so I want to know if you will like to work online from home, getting paid weekly without leaving or it  affecting your present job?I am presently running a textile and fabrics firm I inherited from my late Father and we need someone to work for the company as a representative/book keeper in the States.
 
My company produces various clothing materials,expensive and high quality batiks,assorted fabrics and traditional costumes which we have clients we supply weekly in the States.
 
My clients make payments for our supplies every week in form of money orders which are not readily cashable outside the US {JUST BECAUSE THIS US MONEY ORDERS CAN ONLY BE CASHED WITHIN THE US} so we need someone in the States to work as our Representative and assist us in processing the payments from
our clients and I will pay him weekly salary{YOU WILL BE PAID 10% FOR EACH TRANSACTION AND WE NORMALLY GET PAID 3 TIMES A WEEK FROM OUR CLIENTS}
All you need to do is receive this payment from our client in the States, you can call the verifying bank to confirm the funds or you can get it cashed at the bank and then deduct your weekly pay i.e 10% and forward the balance to the Company down here via Western Union Money Transfer. You will keep all Western Union Transfer receipts used and forward them to us from time to time, you will also record all transactions on your computer both offline and online in case of any emergency references. We would have told our clients to send the money directly to US via money gram but it has been a tradition for them to pay us via US MONEY ORDERS  and the person that used to help us cash the MONEY ORDERS before i.e {our former representative} has been relieved.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you get them cashed at the bank, (tax charges on your account will be deducted from our pockets not yours, so you dont have to worry about that)  and then  deduct your salary and foward the balance to the company via  money transfer method i did mention earlier on.
 
So all i need is to forward your information to our numerous clients in the state and they issue payment in form of  MONEY ORDERS then send it via courier or mail to you.If you are interested please fill in the form below this message, edit and reply back as soon as possible..

RIOY System

It's been ages since I posted a "Make Money Fast" (MMF) scam, but that's partly because they're not as popular as the criminally exploitative money mule jobs. So, for a change of pace, here's one of those twits who believes that there is an easy way to Make Money Fast, and would like you to join in his delusion. This load of blah is invariably shaped like a pyramid, and requires that you persuade others to join in the scam.

ITV International


This looks an awful lot like many of the other money mule scams I've documented which target Australians, but it doesn't resemble any of them so closely that it's obviously the same group behind it. If I were to take a stab at it, I'd guess that this is a new rendition of NitrosGroup Finance, because of the similar style of domain name usage. If I'm correct that these form a sequence, then the scammers are adopting a new identity on a weekly basis, which is a pretty fast turnover. Last year it was typical to see a monthly turnover.
