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.

Henv Leader (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd

Check and Money Order Fraud. The scammer pretends to be a company needing individuals to receive checks and money orders from customers, cash them, and forward some of the proceeds via Western Union. The checks and money orders are generally convincing enough to clear at the bank, but they will eventually bounce, leaving a large hole in the account of the "employee" (a.k.a. the victim). The actual company may or may not exist: it's just a cover story in either case.

Mr Yuan Sheng is still at it looking for representatives/suckers to be part of a scam. Thanks for the alert. I don't respond to these kinds of things in any event as they are usually 'too good to be true'.
