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.

RAI Capital, Ltd

I can't see any obvious evidence that these scammers are impersonating a real company, although someone somewhere is almost certainly using the name "RAI Capital" for something. (There's a limited supply of three letter acronyms in the English alphabet, after all!) Beyond that, I have little to say about this scam: they provide only a Gmail address as a point of contact, and it has the letters "RAI" ordered differently than the "company name" they're using. Also, the cheap scumbags are only offering 2% of each transaction, which is really lame for a money mule scam.

It's not immediately obvious whether these guys are wanting the sucker to cash forged cheques or accept fraudulent bank transfers. Please post details if you have them.
