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.

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..

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.

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.

NitrosGroup Finance


This scam is clearly a direct descendant of both TriplexDirect and PyramidexTrust, and others before that. The name has changed, but the scam remains the same: they are looking for money mules.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
[headers redacted]

Good day

I am writing to inquire if you might be interested in employment with our company.

NitrosGroup Finance is a well-known Moldavian company, having expertise in various areas like advertising and web design, programming and software support, organization of various courses and seminars, selling goods, etc. We have clients all over the world and our business is developing very rapidly, but the target markets for us are Europe, Canada , USA and Australia. Unfortunately payment methods in various countries differ, therefore we have to cater for convenient and reliable payment methods to our clients to accelerate money transfers and goods turnover.

Logistic Solutions Co. (logistic-solutions.us)

This spam was posted as a comment under my entry on Preston Logistics, It appears to be a money mule scam, but I'm not sure if the same party is responsible for it. The domain " logistic-solutions.us" was registered Tue Aug 28 11:25:40 GMT 2007, but their website claims they have been around for several years.

---------- Forwarded message ----------

"My name is Carol Belmonte. I am the manager of the Logistic Solutions Co, which can be found at www.logistic-solutions.us . Recently I've examined your resume on careerbuilder.com. At the moment we need an agent in your state and your resume looks attractive. You have several qualifications and based on your job history you look trustworthy enough for this position. I'd like to proceed to an online interview, and send you a contract to read over and sign. Once returned to me, we can proceed to the interview process.



To provide some information about the position, I'd like to start off with the logistics of the way our business works. Our company participates in transactions with Ebay, Online stores ( Buy.com,Amazon.com etc) and it is a common matter that a buyer and a seller are in different parts of the world and it does not meet with our clients requirements to use international wires, paypal, or other such methods of payment, as they are in process from one week up to one month. That is why we would like to hire some employees that can deal with the money transfers between the buyer and the seller.



The job description is as follows:

Your responsibilities will be:

- Check your e-mail two times a day to verify incoming transactions. This must be done, and you must send us a confirmation e-mail at least twice a day to verify when you checked your mail.
- Once a week, visit your bank to receive money transfers, and resend it to our clients via another transfer system. We prefer you use Western Union.



Your compensation will be:
1. You will receive 5% from each transaction, up to a limit of $1700 per your probationary month.
After your probationary month your salary will be $2500-$3000 depending on the jobs you receive.



2. You can receive 7% from each transaction but it is necessary for you to register an independent company(Limited Liability Company) and to open a corporate account. You can make up to 5000 but the introductory fees are 300 in your state to form a LLC.

Your commissions, which are 5-7% of every transaction and depend on the quantity of completed transactions and the speed of your work. Normally the amounts that we process vary from $5,000 to $35,000, but can go higher on special occasions. For your convenience, there will be no paycheck. Just leave the commission in your bank account directly after each transfer.



Taxation:
According to US laws you are not required to pay taxes on bank transactions. If you wish to file a 1099 for any work given to your LLC, it will be your responsibility.



To apply for the job, visit https://logistic-solutions.us/tmanager/index.php?_m=core&_a=registercarol

"Universe" Logistics

This is a reshipper scam. It usually works like this: the scammers purchase goods fraudulently, have them shipped to you, have you reship them overseas. When the fraud is discovered, the original seller sends the police to the reshipper's address. The reshipper then has some 'splaining to do. There's a good chance that your wage payments are fraudulent too!

Cheap Fabrics Ltd

It was only a couple of weeks ago that I had some scammer claiming to be Cheap Fabrics Company Limited. The scam is the same (conning people into caching forged checks), but is this a different scammer? I conclude that... I don't really care. Nigerian scammers are common as muck, and this one appears to be literally Nigerian: the source IP was 41.219.215.89, which is allocated to Nigeria.
