As you can see below, this message purports to be from careerbuilder.com, but I see no evidence for it being anything but a forgery. The job offer in question is typical money mule work. There are legitimate businesses using the name "Orion Finance", but this scam doesn't seem to be explicitly impersonating any of them. The scammers are using two domain names of which I'm aware at this point in time, and I'll report others in comments below if they come to my attention.

An older version of the same Orion Finance site: http://www.orion-finance.com
Thanks for the info. I have a resume on careerbuilders.com and just received the job offer from Orion Finance. I thought it sounded too good to be true.
I received something similer to that yesturday, but they got my resume from monster.com
My name is Ernest Ertis and I am Support of Orion Finance.

If you want to apply for this job please .
hmmm...i got the exact same email saying that they got me resume from Monster. I forward it to my bf, since I just skimmed through it and it sounded cool. I guess he tested it out and they sent him a check a little over $1K. Fishy....
Watch out -- that check will be a high quality forgery. A bank will accept it for deposit, and it will clear (allowing you to draw on it), but then the bank will eventually discover that it's no good and take the money back out of the account. If you've already deposited it, inform the bank that you suspect it might be a forgery, otherwise they might think that YOU forged it. And don't send any money to the scammers via Western Union or whatever -- you'll wind up personally out of pocket for it.
my coworker fell for this line and now owes her bank over $4000.00 does anyone know if she has alegal foot to stand on as far as getting her money back or not having to pay this debit on her own?
Hi,
I received this offer too, but I complete the enrollment. I can Quit? This is the email:rnest Ertis and I am Support of Orion Finance.

Tell the scammers that you're onto them. Tell them you'll be ripping up any cheques they send. Make good on that promise if they go ahead and send any. Ignore them if they threaten any kind of legal action -- they're bluffing, and you've done nothing wrong.
Now going under the name Verlus Financial Group. Same email from Ernest Ertis.
http://verlus-ltd.org/index.php
I recently joined the "verlus Financial Group," as well. I was sent an email stating "We saw your resume on Monster.com." I enrolled and a couple weeks later, I received a "check" for $1400!
What a crock!! We knew something seemed fishy from the beginning. DON'T DO THIS!!!!!
I just received the same email. Ernest got my resume from monster.com. Before proceeding I googled Orion Finance and found this website. Thank you for saving me from this!
I got the email from http://verlus.com/zone
and I had to sign up and process checks.
I signed up assuming that this was a good at home opportunity.
finally I got a check for 1900. Not sure what to do with it. any way I am happy that I got to this website before I eposited the check.
I received the exact same offer from ernest ertis. signed up to verlus financial group and recieved two checks, one for $1,900 and the other for $2,000.thinking about just cashing them both and pcketing the money..whos with me?
Given that the checks are forgeries, how do you expect to profit from this without breaking the law yourself? Those checks aren't worth the paper they're printed on.
Add this to the list of scam emails:

i just received this email as well. notice that they are looking for 'tallanted' individuals.
any time you ever get an email from a recruiter that contains spelling or grammatical errors i would be uneasy about such job offers. you will only be getting suckered in.
My gmail spam filter caught it....
