Well this is brief and to the point. They do a bad job of impersonating careerbuilder.com, and suggest that Genevafinance INC is interested in your resume, so go to their site. The site is slick enough, and -- guess what -- they have lots of vacancies for regional representatives (better known as "money mules" 'round these parts). Same old same old, really.

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.

Amato Logistics Co
Scammers using random business name "Amato Logistics Co. Ltd" and freemail contact addresses seek suckers to perform money mule and reshipper duties on a short term basis until apprehended. This looks similar to many other scams, but not so similar to any of them in particular that I can draw a common thread between them.

This scam is very short on details, but the paragraph I've highlighted has also appeared in the SDF Motors scam (which was similarly short on details). If anyone has been tricked into working for these scammers, please spill the beans on the details.

The text of this spam has been appearing in ads from phishing gangs seeking money mules for some time, usually under the name "I-Soldit" -- but such names are usually abandoned when they get a bad enough reputation. See in particular this case, dating back to August 2006. Now that they are targeting the USA, they may have changed their game slightly, since forged cheques are a major exploitable weakness in the USA.

This is the SaxoForex/UKFX scam under a new name, or so I surmise by the common text in the spam. Evidence so far suggests that this scam involves receiving money directly transferred from phishing victims, and forwarding the proceeds to the scammers via Western Union. This is illegal, and their cover stories about legal money transfers are exactly that: cover stories.

There is a real business called "Katlenco Enterprises" at katlenco.com. This, on the other hand, is just some scammer using the name at random in association with an AOL email address. Although the "job offer" is ludicrously lacking in detail as to the actual job, the mention of "check or direct deposit" suggests it's the usual money mule scam.

Based on descriptions given on the website, the actual job duties offered by this organisation involve reshipping electronic goods. Contrast this with the description given in the spam itself, which makes no sense at all. This is not a company: it's a front for organised crime, and the goods received and reshipped are obtained fraudulently. You are likely to be charged with criminal offences if you participate in fraud of this kind.

Hello,
My name is patarwhite and I am an artist.I saw your profile on the websites andfelt you could do apart time job for us . I live in United Kingdom, with my two kids, four cats, one dog and the love of my life. It is definitely a full house. I have been doing artwork since I was a small child. That gives me about 23 years of experience. I majored in art in high school and took a few college art courses. Most of my work is done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils. I have recently added designing and creating artwork on the computer. I have been selling my art works for the last 3 years and have had a lot of my works featured on trading cards, prints and in magazines.
I have sold in galleries and to private collectors from all over the world and i get paid without hassles. I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans,owing to the fact that they mostly offer to pay with a US POSTAL MONEY ORDER, which is difficult for me to cash here in The United Kingdom.
And also the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive,though i am currently working on setting up a branch in the States.
In view of the above i am in urgent need of a representative in the united states who will be handling the payment aspect,by recieving my payments on my behalf from my American clients .It is as a result of the above that we came up with the idea of looking for a responsible and competent person(s) who will be of assistance to me in this area,whom i can entrust my payments upon and who will cash them immediately he/she recieves them and forward the Money to me here in the U.K via Moneygram Or Western Union International Money Transfer.
What i need from you is just to recieve the payments and take them to your local bank or check cashing facility and cash them immediately and deduct your own commission. I are prepared to offer a commission of 10% to you persons on any payments recieved and cashed,and i shall increase the commission from time to time based on your competence and efficiency.
This does not stop you from doing your normal job,it's just for you to take deliveries of payments and cash them and transfer the money to me here in the U.K via Moneygram Or Western Union International Money Transfer. May i not fail to inform you that you have to assure me that any payments you recieve will be instantly cashed and transfered immediately,as i are just starting this set up and i would not like a situation where people will make away ou squander my hard earned money,so please asure me that all will be well in this business arrangement.
What the job entails is for you to:
(A) Receive Payments on our Behalf from out American Debtors;such payments shall come in the form of Official Checks,Cashiers Checks ,Postal Money Orders and Bank drafts,all of which shall be issued in the USA.
(B) Cash such payments
(C) Transfer the monies via Moneygram Or Western Union International Money Transfer.

This appears to be the UKFX scam again under a new name. Presents itself as being from careerbuilder.com , but isn't: the source IP was 209.62.14.18, which is allocated to a hosting service in Brazil. If anyone cares to talk to these scammers, I'd be interested in hearing more information about what they want you to do, since the spam itself gives away no details, and claims that there is no "cheques clearing, issues or processing" involved, and yet the job title is "account officer".

Animal Reserve (fake charity)
This is a money mule scam: the only thing that's different about it is the cover story. In this case, the scammers pretend to be a charitable organisation dedicated to saving pandas. Cute, cuddly pandas. Who could say no to that? Sorry, it's a pack of lies: do a little research and you'll find that none of the names they drop (like "WWF" and "Greenpeace") recognise their existence.

NuCardio Pharmaceuticals
This is an old money mule scam with a new name. Most recently it was known as ProActive Pharmaceuticals, and prior to that it was known as ProGenic and NuMark. Scammers change names when they figure the old name has developed too big a reputation as a scam.
