"Payment processing" strikes again. We call them "money mules" here. I confidently predict that the job involves sending money via Western Union, and attracts unwanted attention from law enforcement officers.

Just go this one myself. I wasn't about to sign up but I am intrigued as to how they knew I am Australian and am currently in the Baltic region. Anyway, thanks for the site, I'm sure you've saved quite a few people some money and some trouble.

Same here. Weird they knew I was Australian and have a Latvian background...
they haven't sucked me in...
I just got this one myself - I have had others over the last few months and guessed it was a scam. My guess is that they target email addys with au on the end and send them off.
I just ignore them.

I got this email as well..haha as if i'm gonna fall into their trap.. i replied by saying that i'm interested and they replied with this:
Hello.
Thanks for your reply.
We are doing securely web databases for Australian companies and our
contractors pay us only with incountry bank transfers.
You have to receive the payment from our contractors, redeem your 10%
comission and resend the cash by western union cash transfer.
All the taxes are paid by us, we also pay all the fees connected with the
transfers.
You are paid daily, every time you do the transfer, the total month income
guaranteed not less than $4000.
The job is legal, and your bank will be provided all contracts and tax
papers at the end of each month.
I need your name, address, home and cell phone numbers if I need to
contact you.
You can open new account in any Australian bank or use your own you have
now, it doesn't matter for us.
For transfers we will need: Bank name, account name, account number, bank
branch (BSB) number
(these are usual details to do the wire transfers, we don't ask for any
secure details).
You are paid daily after each transfer. The job is mostly in the morning
and afternoon.
I'll e-mail you the details for western union transfer as soon as first
transfer to your account is done.
Thank you

This site is fantastic, really did save alot of people who got tempted by this scam, i mean seriously.. Anyway thanks heaps for whoever that sets up this site...
Kelvin..
hey i got the email to unfortunately i was naive and fell for it iam still unsure of the truth of if it is a scam because who ever it is has given personal details and left me with a paper trail.so if anyone knows for sure that this is a scam please post a reply. i would be curious to know.
Oh yes, this is definitely a scam. What sort of paper trail have you been given? If you haven't yet sent any money via Western Union, then don't. Whatever money you have received is fraudulent in one way or another.
yes well went to bank and police today and started an investigation i really hope they can catch these losers that are doing this and luckily the person that it was stolen from has gotten some of their money back by me getting it reversed at the bank today.but wherever a warning can be posted please people post one bacause the more we get it out there the better.
I fell for this one I did one transfer and it was unsuccessful because the receiver is on a government watchlist,and western union would not process,luckily they told me why and obviously realized it was a scam.Ive closed my bank account and have notified Charmilles That I know that they are a scam and I do not want anything more to do with them.Do you have any advise for me ? do I need to report this and get a lawyer?
charmilles sales money transfer scam do not fall for this one.they put money in your acount and it is stolen from another innocent persons bank account.The job description is transfer operator and the money will be taken back out of your account after you have sent it via western union.It is disguised as a legitimate way for them to reduce taxes.Do NOT RESPOND TO AN EMAIL SOUNDING LIKE THIS!It is highly illegal and you will be left holding the bill and get wrapped up in an investigation as I am right now.
