Money Transfer Job Scams: August 2007

Please be aware that:
  • No legitimate company will use bank accounts of private individuals for forwarding wire transfers from its customers.
  • No legitimate company uses employees' private bank accounts for cashing checks from customers.
  • No legitimate company uses private individuals to receive and forward parcels for them.
  • No legitimate business will pay 5% and more for international money transfers (for example, $250 out of $5000), when banks provide such services for only $30-50 per transaction and businesses and individuals can set up their own bank accounts in other countries if needed.

Any job offer that involves any of the above activities is a fraud!

Job offers on the internet such as the ones listed here involve stolen money and stolen goods. If you participate in these scams, even without criminal intent, you could be held liable and face criminal charges. If you have been recruited, contact the police and notify your bank. Do not withdraw any cash wired to your account! Do not forward any parcels mailed to your home! Talk to the bank and the police first!

Leider haben wir einige Schwierigkeiten mit Zahlungserhalten fuer
unseren Service. Gewoehnlich bekommen wir die Zahlungen in 10-30
Tagen. Es ist zu langsam und unbequem fuer uns. Wir haben keine
Zeit, um jede Postanweisung anzunehmen, auch koennen wir keine
Bankschecks und Ueberweisungen annehmen. Deswegen suchen wir Partner
in Ihrem Land, die uns helfen koennen und diese Bezahlungen bearbeiten koennen.
Natuerlich verstehen wir, dass das Zeit braucht, und wir sind bereit Ihere Hilfe verdient bezahlen.
Wenn Sie unseren Vertreter in Ihrem Land werden, als unser Partner Sie bekommen 8% von
jede ausfuerenden Bezahlung.
Unsere Partner muessen Postanweisungen, Ueberweisungen und Banksscheks
kriegen und bearbeiten und uns schicken ( ohne entsprechende 8%) Unsere Vertreter haben freien Arbeitsablauf-plan und einen gute Nebenverdienst. Das stoert ihre Hauptarbeit nicht!

Wir sind immer froh ueber neue Partner und Ideen! Wenn unser Vorschlag interessant fuer Ihnen, setzen Sie sich bitte in Verbindung mit mir fuer zusaetzliche
Information.
