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.

Canadian Cruise Line International

Those crazy Malaysian scammers are still pretending to be Canadian Cruise Ship companies. If you apply for this job, they'll gladly tell you that they are interested in hiring you, but there are certain fees you need to pay up front. There is no job, no ship, and no company -- it's all just a whopping big lie they tell so that people will send them money.

Here's another Canadian Cruise scam that didn't originate in Malaysia: it came from IP address 193.219.206.3, which is listed as being in Guinea (West Africa). The sting is advance fee fraud: they want money for some visa or similar. The job is a lie.

I recieved this message from a Blog called "Livemocha", that pretended it could help me improve my English freely. They gave me the name of Margaret as a possible friend. I realize that they got me. Thank you for keeping informing me about any possible danger.
