At a guess, the scam is check fraud. The USA is a common target for check fraud because the banking regulations make it easy to defraud people with forged checks.

I figured since i was looking for a job, it would be good to check out their website, but it got me buggered when i tried to google the company and there was a heap of stuff about the Alliance Asset Scam. Watch out job seekers, theres dodgy people out there. =[

Just got one in Australia. It was tempting since it sounded like a Good job offer, but then I remembered the immortal words that have saved me on countless occasions, "If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is." I did a Google seach on "Alliance Asset Management" but before I even clicked search I noticed that the number 1 suggested search was "Alliance Asset Management Scam" lol. This page was the top resault!
I am an Australian, today morning i received following mail:"This is James Cason from Alliance Asset Management. I was assigned your Regional Instructor. I'll be providing you with all necessary informationand submitting tasks to complete. I do hope we'll enjoy working together.

Oh Gosh i got the same email today! Crazy stuff. i was thinking mate this is to good to be true..so i started doing my research and here i am lol.. bloody idiots these people!
I'm in Sydney ang I got exactly the same kind of e-mail 3x on 3 different occassions. They got our CV's from job sites when apply for a job as they try to take advantage of the shrinking job market...
Clearly the transfer of money they describe is a type of money laundeing that becomes untraceable and the fall guys are us (Financial Representatives "to be") as they will be using our bank details as recipient of money from customers. I'm not sure if they can also hack into our bank accounts once we divulge our account numbers since they already had our personal information.
I sent an e-mail to 7-News about this but I didn't hear back from them at all. I'm not sure if the government is aware of these scams but I hope jobsites are also checking their clients before they post any job advertisements since we are sending our resume's online. Who knows... It's just a matter of sending one of their representatives to our postboxes to steal our credit card statements and all of our hard earned money.
The ABC's "Four Corners" current affairs program ran a story about cybercrime quite recently that touched on these job scams (in passing).
In my experience, job sites do not check out their clients: they just allow them to go ahead and post job ads in exchange for money. They will take scam job ads offline when notified of the scam -- but it's your job to detect the scams. You are your own best hope of protection, so get wise.
I too live in Australia and got this in my email today. What I want to know is how they got my full name - normally with spam it's dear sir or madam. Nope, not with this one. That scares me.
I live in New Zealand and just got this email today along with my full name, I have no idea how they got this information! Ps was definately not from the resume they seem to think I sent them.

Alliance Asset Management.
Hi, I'm in Australia and I got the very same as everyone else. I too checked up on the scam and yes it is a scam. It seemed like a hell of a lot of pay for the month for only 12-15hrs work a week.
im in Australia and i recieved the same email from "Jason Carson" i checked out the scam 2 as it told me they recieved my resume,which was news 2 me as i haven't sent it to any1 ,lol,so they stuffed up there with me.Thanks to the page as well letting me know about this new scam
I'm in regional SA and received the email today. Thanks for this site - thought it was a bit crazy!
Hi,
I am in Mackay, QLD and have just received the Jason Caslon email mentioned in previous posts. Like others, I wanted to research the company and the first Google search item to appear was 'alliance asset management scam'. As others say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is . . .
also received this same email this morning and found this when I googled it...
im in Aus but working in HK and they targeted me in Aus on my personal email address
I got that email today too, and decided to look it up first... sounds so dodgy... handling multiple transfers of cash in and out of the country, to some company in Panama?? Psshht.
Remember people if you get a REAL job offer the company offering the job would actually call you!
I have got this email too same as anybody else with the same content.
Fascinating. A few days ago I also received (in Melbourne Australia) a job offer from the ubiquitous and very busy James Cason. The email was sent to my email address, but the job offer was in the name of a friend now living in New York. I wonder how they mixed up his name with my email address. I see James gives a UK phone number. I am tempted to ring him in the middle of the UK night.
They are now targeting the Philippines...I received an email Sept. 13.
Just recived an email from them but via Mycareer.com.
australia
I really thought i was being offered a job until i realised that i have never applied for a job through mycareer.com.au.
I'm so glad i did my research before replying.
james carson and all those affiliated with alliance asset management should be punished.
Also received email from NZ - think it would be hilarious to actually write back to him or call him... If you could figure out something good to say!
This is scary... i got the same email as well!!!
I am in Turkey and i got the same mail yesterday. The most interesting one is they are saying that they gave my resume from www.mycareer.com.au!!! :D Co'on guys i am Turkish, I am not an AU citizen or i haven't got an account on this web site. :D
I actually went through with the application. I am sitting by my new pool, with a topless waitress bringing me a beer while i transfer some more money to Panama and skim off the top. This is actually pretty good!
Only one topless waitress? Times are tough.
I got this today too.
Same content and saying Mycareer.com.au
I wonder how they got my full name.
:(
would think they would be bright enought to give a number for the country they claim there address is in +44 is a UK number
These clowns have got to be kidding, they put this job add in and then they think people are not going to research a company from another country, surely people do the research. Anyway Jason Casson, keep trying ya fool cause we aint falling for your shit.
Not This TimeSucker
AUST.
please keep informing us , i got the same email, job offer , i am in Malaysia, something needs to be done , a police system is urgently need for the www.
I received a same email today. .I am in Australia. how can we report to police?
Hi, I was actually excited at first then I thought this is too good to be true too.
However, after reading all of these comments, I agree that this is a scam.
I was just about to fall for them and now I feel better that I know I stopped from being scammed.
In Autralia received the email today, but I am curious to know how many have actually gone through with it?
Same story... they are also using another company name: http://www.assetman.com Asset Management Company
Am in zimbabwe glad i read this blog before i made a mistake
I received James Cason's e-mail yesterday saying the same stuff (Newcastle, NSW, Oz) and it was playing on my mind. It sounded too good to be true but then I also thought it might be worthwhile chasing up - just in case it was legit ;) so I rang the ATO and spoke to them, The lady I spoke to was very helpful. All the tax details they simply get off the relevant countries website to make it look good, she also told me that if I wanted to look into it further I should ask them what legislation it's in compliance with and what authorities it has been cleared by (as stated in the general cover letter). So, I have sent them these questions in an e-mail and will wait and see if they bother replying. The ATO was unable to do anything about them as it's not their department and the lady had me on hold as she tried to chase up where to refer me to the relevant department but no-one seemed to want to know. Mine was also sent via mycareer.com.au
They're now in the UK. I received an identical email from David Hanson at Alliance Asset Management this morning.
It was apparently sent via Reed.co.uk, a website I've never even been registered with.
There really needs to be a governing law preventing scam emails like this from being circulated.
Also received the email this morning and I am registered with Reed.co.uk. Similarly no idea how they found me. Same David Hanson. Have emailed Reed to warn them that their name is being used, so will have to see if there is anything they can do.
following on from my Oct 26 comment.... I decided to e-mail James to see what he had to say. So, I pretended I was interested but wanted to know what authorities had approved the company working in Oz and what legislation it was approved under. Funnily enough, I'm still waiting to hear back from him!
I got the same e-mail, I am in Bulgaria, but from Asset management Company. It says absolutely the same, but from a bloke called Jason Hudson. He claimed he got my resume from reed.co.uk offering me a job for UK as Financial Representative. They claim to have the headquarters in USA and are looking for UK guys obviously with money laundring causes. Be careful, guys!!! These are stupid bugs that crawl out from different holes with different names, but with one and the same cause - fraud.
I am in Scotland, just recieved email from David Hanson from Asset Management company they appear to have taken my details from Reed & Co employment agents. Glad I found this site thought I was special too :(
Same story, received this email today from "David Hanson" of "www.assetmancompany.com" the mail was supposedly sent in connection with Reed, the UK careers company!
Certainly one to be avoided, these scams are getting more advanced by the day!!
PG
I got this same email from David Hanson, I'm in Ireland. Very scary, I've no idea how they got my details
I have recieved an e mail from these wankers, who the fuck do they think they are, I hope they get cancer and die scum bags. I am wise to this bull shit but I hope no one is taken in by this. Im in Scotland also, job offer under the pretence its from reed. Dont get involved with these losers
to hell with those bastards.i also received the e-mail from them last week....believe me you i nearly got pemted but ithought, waht the f***, how the hell did they get my resume and i thought i never applied for such position,i even printed out their contract of agreement,damn they are really gud,,,,i hope they go to hell,,,why are they not caught,
why did they still the real identity of another company (asset management company)?i also got the messag efrom daivid hanson,who the fu** is he?investigators must do something abot this its serious and some people might get tempted without knowing
they are currently targeting South Africa now,please guys be careful always find information form anykind of company employing you before anything.to think i nearly sent out my application,damn I thank got for delaying the process
I got the David Hanson, Employment Manager
at assetmanservice.com version today, with the Reed prefix in the title. I hope there is a special level of Hell waiting for these crumbsuckers

Alliance Asset Management.
assetmanservice.com was registered on 19-jan-2010 through registrar REGTIME LTD (a.k.a. webnames.ru). Registrant claims (falsely, no doubt) to be "Joshua Mason" of Norwood, MA, USA.
allianceassetcorp.net is older, registered on 04-oct-2009 through registrar REGTIME LTD again (a Russian registrar, by the way). Registrant claims to be "Bobbie Jackson" of Zephyr, TX, USA.
I'm guessing that the REAL name behind these scams is closer to "Vladimir Buggerov" than "Bobbie Jackson".

Just got the same email today, said it was from reed.co.uk,England
me too!
Me too- same, from Reed...
I knew it was a Fraud!!! FAKE SPAM!!!. Email. lol
help?! i have been applying for loads of jobs and i received this email and i thought it was a real job and gave them all my details etc and they have put money into my bank and now what do i do?!?!?!!
Leave the money in the account.
Notify your bank that you suspect the transaction of being unauthorised.
Do not send any money to anyone.
Do not respond to the criminals' communications.
I have just sent them my details and the money is not yet in my account. what should i do?
Do not communicate with them further. If money arrives in the account, contact your bank and report that the transaction is suspicious. Do not withdraw and forward money under any circumstances.
David hudson is now in UK.. he send me emails and also made a phone call to me. to sign the contract
Just got an email too and decided to look up the company.
In Aus.. got an email from the same James Cason guy, but he was claiming to represent BCIMC.
He not only claimed to be from Mycareer.com.au, but knew my full name also.
A healthy dose of skepticism later, and some digging revealed the fake websites he'd created using the company logo, and the Alliance Asset Management behind the whole thing.
Just remember kids, if the grammar is poor, you didn't apply for it, or they are actually acting like they want to employ you... do some digging.
Hmmm I received the same email only Alliance Asset Management has been replaced with British Columbia Investment Management. I had also put my CV up on mycareer.com.au and James Cason claimed he'd gotten my details from there. Ha!
I did some digging aswell and came across this site, but unfortunately this was AFTER I'd stupidly applied. I did give them my bank account details, but only for an acocunt with a zero balance, so good luck to them if they try to withdraw anything ;) If any money lands in my account I'm gonna leave it there and if it's still there after a week or two, I'm going to withdraw it and keep it. Joke will be on them!
If you receive money into your account, it is stolen money. You don't want stolen money: moral issues aside, it's likely to attract the wrong sort of police attention when the rightful owner notices that it's missing. Report all suspicious transactions to your bank ASAP.
Spotter thank you for your comment.
The money did indeed go into my account, and while I had the initial intention to take the money and run, I realised this would be the wrong thing to do. I called the bank to report the transaction, and when I did, the transaction was marked as fraud on my internet banking. The fraud officer explained the whole 'money mule' thing, and also advised me that a scammer had hacked into a business credit union account using a keylogger, and transferred the money into my account. They will be taking the money out of my account and transferring it back to where it came from. I thought that the joke would be on the scammer, i was wrong.
I realise that replying to such an email was a bad idea, and my advice to anyone who is in my situation is DO NOT DO IT. I am not in trouble with my bank (luckily) as I denied all knowledge.
I was very lucky.. please anyone who comes across this site, DO NOT FOLLOW THROUGH WITH WHAT THE SCAMMERS ARE OFFERING YOU.
Thank you for your advice Spotter.
i am jus wondering, i just recieded the mone in the account and i hav sent the money to someone i dont know, should i just close my account?
I HAVE received money yesterday fom that fraud company, and i have also sent money, should i just cancel my account straght away.
If you sent the money via Western Union, try to cancel the transfer. Generally, you can't, but try anyhow. If you can't, then you'll just have to wait and see what happens next. There's not a lot of point closing the account. If you received money via a cheque, expect it to bounce and leave you overdrawn. If you received the money via direct transfer, the possibility exists that the transfer will be reversed, also leaving you overdrawn. (Closing your account won't help: the bank knows where you live, and they will haul you into court if needs be.)
I don't have enough detail to know exactly what your circumstances are, but brace yourself for a financial loss.
is there any chance to be cleared from this mess, coz i dont want to be blacklisted, i need to apply for loans and mortgages in the future plus, applyin for good jobs.
