Guest melissa Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I would say it is a scam. I have read about something similar. The payment into your account can be recalled, even after it shows as a credit, and by the time you realise, the payment you have forwarded on has already been taken. mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuju Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 thats what im thinking but the advert came from the seek website SEEK - Australia's no. 1 job, employment, career and recruitment site gizmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Helaine Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Giz its a scam hun, i got caught with one on Monster Jobs, it was near enough the same but for a "swiss company" i got totally sucked in even though it sounded to easy and to good to be true. all i had to do was recieve payment into my uk account then transfer it to a holding account, taking 10% each time, so i gave then all my bank details yep everything, they sent one payment of £900 i went to take it out to transfer it and got my card taken by the machine, i didnt think anything of it until the fraud dept at the bank contacted me....i craped myself, it turned out that they acctually access your account take money from you and send it to about 5/6 other accounts so its untraceable unfortunatly for them i didnt have any money in my account but some poor bugger was 900 quid down, it was also a real pain cause my account had to be closed, i had to go into the branch and prove i was who i said i was had loads of question chucked at me all because i fell for it. LEAVE WELL ALONE SWEETIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuju Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi Helanie, Geeeeeeeeez sorry to hear that you got caught by this type of thing, what a bloody pain in the arse and hassle you could really do with out. Thanks for letting me know, i cant believe that seek have allowed this to even be advertised on there site (as im sure that co's have to pay to place adverts so they must check them out in some way) Thanks again gizmo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andy-notts Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 i'd say it was probably a scam. I'm from nottingham and firstly the area code in the phone number is wrong..the area code for nottingham is 0115. Secondly I know where the address is..willow road. On that road theres only 2 companies of any note...games workshop and mertrux (mercedes truck garage) the rest of the companies on that road are housed in tatty run down buildings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo&Rich Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hi, I saw that too as I'm on there all the time at the mo. Must admit, had to read it twice! You'd think a site like that would vet ads before letting anyone advertise. Jo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo&Rich Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 The same company just put another ad up (reported it too Gizmo!). It looks like there's a couple of suspect ones up; maybe they put them up on a weekend, when there's no one in the office to spot them?

calNgary Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 why are most of the work from home jobs a scam!! the ones in the paper are always a load of rubbish when you contact them and on line obviously isnt much better,you would think someone somewere could do something about it ,,loads of people must get roped in and ripped off, Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carpe Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm in Canberra and found the ad on SEEK too. Note that in the ad it sends you cheques/money orders and you take out your 10% (and put it into your real account that they can't get) then you transfer the remaining balance from the account set up for them to other sites. It also is not asking for bank details so how can it suck it out? Though I have to admit it does all seem like money laundering to me. See below: COMMISSION: 10% of every money order/check that is cashed instantly"cash inhand" or "cash on counter" is what you get from the total cashed amount. MORE EXPLANATION ABOUT THE JOB: If you receive a check of $2,500.00 from our clients or costumers in the USA,you would cash the check in your bank and then take 10% which is $250,from it and then send the rest of the funds from it toanywhere in the world where the company delegates would be at that time.

Stuju Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 carpe, theres been a few more of these adds on the seek website only this weekend, i am for sure going to avoid - but if you have a go lets us all know how you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andy-notts Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm from Nottingham, I know where the company says its based and guess what....no company on that street with that name. Avoid, unless you want burnt fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andy-notts Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Just to add..if it was a ledgit company can you imagine the turnover of money in an international textile company? Surely it would run into hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds? Why on earth would a company give up 10% of its revenue to someone merely depositing a cheque? I know theres some gullable people out there but you must be really daft if you think this job offer is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blogmaster Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 That alone is reason enough to discard this idea. Still many people fall for these scams. How do they work? We are talking about a group of people, mostly from Russia. They obtain, either by stealing or hacking the credit card details from a person. They withdraw money from that account and transfer it to your account. It will be pointed out to you that you MUST withdraw the money from your bank at the moment the bank opens. That way they hope to eliminate the chance that the owner of the funds will not have the chance to complain to his bank about the missing money. You receive an E-mail telling you how much you have received and (after taking your ‘commission’) where to send it. This is usually a private person in Russia receiving the money you sent via Western Union. What can happen to you? If the victim, the original owner of the money finds out, his bank will trace it to you, your account will be blocked and Federal Police maybe informed. You are not only facing a fine but a prison sentence as well. If the money has already gone, you can be forced to pay it back and then face a fine/prison sentence. With help from certain agencies, we have tested this “job”, making sure it was known that we are not accepting the offer, but helping to find the people behind this scam. The test went exactly as described above. Our advice: Stay away from it, do not answer to this or similar ads, you will get caught and get into trouble.
