Beware! Job offer scam could land you in jail
Job offer scams are now landing in e-mail boxes offering riches for part-time work. The scams (example below) ask you to forward packages or cash money orders, and cashier's checks for 10% of the face value of the checks. What they're really enlisting you to do is launder money and stolen goods.
One, called the "package forwarding" scam, asks you to receive and forward packages of big ticket items. Criminals buy these items with stolen identities. It's easy for the police to track you down by your address. And when they do, ignorance is no excuse. You go to jail, while the real bad guys are never found.
The second scam, which is pasted below, asks you to cash money orders and cashier's checks and collect 10 % for your effort. If you respond, they'll tell you it's perfectly legitimate and to wait the five days for clearance before sending them the money.
These checks and money orders are BOGUS: They take advantage of a weakness in the banking verification system. The bank will tell you it's good and fund you the money, only to take it back a few days after the five day clearance period.
There's NO recourse for you, the banking customer, even though the scam takes advantage of the banks' inability to detect fraudulent money orders and cashier's checks until after it's too late.
So here's one of the money order job offer scams which got past my filters and landed in my email basket this morning:

Good day,
This is an email from Rac Plc in United Kingdom; also know as Great
Britain, We would like to know if you would be interested to work for us,
as a part-time job, which would not disturb your current job or your
current position?
We have our company here in United Kingdom and we deal on Car Buying, Car
care, Insurance, Training on how to drive, Loans and leasing, Motorcycle
services and so many more, we have few client from the USA/CANADA,
California, Florida, New York, Ontario, Quebec and so many other states in
the USA/CANADA, but we have been having problems with most of our clients
from USA/CANADA, because some would prefer to pay by Cashiers Check or
Money Orders, which we can not cash here, but it is easy to cash over in
the USA/CANADA, so we are looking forward to get representatives around
the USA/CANADA that can be working for us as a part-time job, which we are
willing to pay 10% of every money you receive from our clients, so you
would just need to help us get the payment and get it cashed directly from
your bank and send the money to us down here in United Kingdom or to any
of our local offices worldwide via Money Gram outlet or western union.
We are looking for a reliable and trust worthy person, which would not
take our money and run away, but its always easy to track the person in
the USA/CANADA, but we just need to trust you that you will receive the
payment and send the money back to us, why we really need you to work for
us is because the cost of coming to the States to get the payment and go
to cash it our self, will be lot more stressful, because most client would
not want to send money via Money Gram or western union.
For Example you receive a payment of $1000.00USD
You deduct your income $100.00USD
Send to us: 900.00USD and you pay the cost of sending from the $900.00
or from the money left with you after deducting your income.
If you are interested, we would require your full name, address and phone
numbers where we can reach you and also provide us details of where you
work and your position in your work place.
We do hope to hear from you as soon as possible,
Regards and await your response,
James Warwick.

This continues as of today. Job search engines such as Careerbuilder, monster and hotjobs have increased security and do monitor these bogus job postings daily. However, there are still a few intrange professional determine scammers out there that are pets.
We the PUBLIC need to remain resolute in identifying these thugs and have them apprehended.

Hello, the danger is real be careful of what you believe. My story actually happened when I was scamed by the Wang G. propopsal. If anyone knows who the real Wang Guangtao is? He is the minister of constuction in China, well known for his enviromental and green building studies. He is professor of engineering. I am an Structural Engineering Tech, I have 7yr's in engineering and have been involved with the perfection of green building. I have valued engineered for third world countries including 50,000+ government green built homes for president Fox,in Mexico. I have been involved with engineers all over the world to design & develope new ways to save energy
and the enviroment. When I was first contacted I believed that Wang G. new of me and this would be a way for me to work with China. I know for me it was a blinding excitment to get to work with an engineer of greatness. To someone in engineering like myself combined with green building, I was blind to the fact that it was all a scam! My email reads of my line of work, My email had been around the world as I held green building siminars so he could have just seen my email or he new of me. As ironic as it may seem, both I and Wang Guantao are about the same thing so sure I wanted to help and get to know this man of greatness. I have spoke over the phone with him, I have been in contact with him for nearly a year, I have excepted his job offer and I know now that he was never the real Guangtao! To late, after receiving payment I opened up an account with it in persuing its auth, when it was returned He told me lies that would actually made me believe him. I thought I could never be so fooled considering I have been learning one of the most difficult careers. I recently received 4 money orders, I was going to open an account in ? I decided to research the money orders and found no fault with them so I allowed my niece to cash them whaen she needed the money I owed to her. Needless to say they went through the machine just fine so we felt comfortable and proceeded to carry on. I was arrested for felony conterfeit and served some time before relizing there was no way to prove my innocence. I eventually had to plead guilty to get probation, this is no way out I will have felonies on my record for life taking away my american rights! You would think that there would be justice for me but there is none! I have become an stastistic that was expendable and my country let me down. I don't know what will happen next but I plan to hire a lawyer to try and drop these charges. I will post new updates on the progress to help stop this nightmare of scams. So it don;t matter what you think you know because there is a preditor awaiting even the most intellegent people. Thank you for reading my story and I hope it may help prevent someone from the same DANGER!!!
Regards T.C.

But for you to cash checks you did nothing to earn is also a little, shall we say, larcenous? You must have understood at some point it was wrong. Particularly since the previous check turned out to be fraud.
I sense what you're most angry with is that the bank approved the checks then took the money back. You're mad that the fraud against a banking system that's broken makes victims out of people like you. So if you use a legal defense, I would suggest you go after the banks.
I'm sorry for your very hard lesson and wish you luck in your legal defense. Do, indeed keep us posted.

I have recieved several of these "offers" I do not see anyone would think that this was a perfectly sound business opportunity. I am sorry but I am only 25 years old, little college, SAHM, but I could tell even before I researched there was something wrong with the offers. Plus does anyone ever pay attention, I don't even have cable, nor watch the news, or even really read the news online, but I know I have heard several times about misc scams....
It is horrible that you have to have the felony on your record and I understand that you thought you knew the person, but I just can't comprehend how you thought they were really needing someone to cash money orders...it just doesn't make sense. Just MO
Posted by: Heidi | February 08, 2007 at 09:37 AM
I have opened this mailbox just for SCAM letters and turn all money they send to the police. I know that Lansing Michigan and Chicago Illinois should not have Nigerian stamps on the "money orders".

Quick Question....what happens if you get sent a payment and go to cash it and they tell you it's fake and don't cash it? Can you still get in trouble? I hope not. Someone please reply.

This RAC company looked totally legal because when I did a search for it it came back which looked like a reputual company only to find out that the money orders they were sending were indeed bogus I have hired an attorney to help me with this but what could the outcome of this be?
Posted by: John | March 29, 2007 at 12:55 AM
I read an article while in New York last week in which a victim of this scan was arrested. He tried to vet the scammer to see if it was the real deal before cashing the checks and found a legit looking Web site.
Fortunately, when police searched his computer, they realized he was a victim and dropped charges.
So if you're worried about prosecution, DON'T delete your emails.
Posted by: DeRad | March 29, 2007 at 09:47 AM
I received money orders in the amount of $1,000.00 and took them directly to the post office for verification. the checks came back as 'GOOD' however when i went to send the money to the person on the other end; THEY NEVER picked up the money. hmmmmm, I guess it was a scam and could NEVER find those people again. So, I ended up putting the money in a fund until somebody claims it.

Two weeks ago I have got another scam.
I work in a private security and finance company. I have put in many years of service and within these years, I have watched with keen interest on how some African Heads of states and government functionaries have been using the company to move huge sums of money in foriegn denominations to their partners and associates.
They brought in these consignments of money in security boxes and declares their contents as jewelries,gold,diamonds,precious stones,documents etc.The depositor's foreign partners,friends and relatives have been claiming some of these consignments without any problem while some are left unclaimed for many years and all efforts to reach the depositors have failed.
In the above context,I have secured and re-deposited one of the box into another private security and finance company in Europe for personal useage.Unfortunately,all efforts to secure a visiting visa into Europe to claim the consignments have failed hence the reason of my soliciting for your maximum corperation and assistance to collect the [1] box on my behalf.The box belong to Late President Sani Abacha.
I have finalised every arrangement that will enable you to claim the ownership of the [1] boxes containing fourty four million united states dollars only [USD:44.000.000.00] on my behalf.You will be adequately compensated for your participation.Please i will also like you to advice me on investment plan in your country as soon as you have the fund in your custody.I will give you 40% of the total fund for your assistance.And you will also need to advice me on investment plan in
your country as i will like to invest my own share into a profitable project in your country.
The proceedure to claim the box is not difficult and as soon as you find it in your heart to assist,I will furnish you with the complete details about it and also all the release documents will be approved in your name as soon as we agree together.Please reply to:[barr_celestine_ubah@138mail.com] for security reasons.

I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME, I PRINTED THE EMAILS, FROM 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE, AND GOT A UPS ENVELOPE ON MY DOOR STEP WITH 5 $500.00 US TRAVELERS CHECKS IN IT. THE ADDRESS WAS FROM CALIFORNIA, BUT SCAMMERS, WERE UNITED KINGDOM. I TOOK THE CHECKS STRAIGHT TO THE BANK OF AMERICA, WHERE I KNOW THE GIRLS WHO WORK THERE. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP. I THINK IT IS VERY UNFAIR THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. MY RESUME WAS POSTED ON MONSTER.COM. SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE SIGHT, NOT. THEN I ENDED UP WITH A VIRUS, AND HAD TO RESTORE MY WHOLE SYSTEM. I CALLED THE F.B.I. IN RENO, AND THE LADY INFORMS ME, THEIR WORKING ON IT. WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR HOMELAND SECURITY? ALL THESE ILLEGALS ARE STILL A THREAT TO US, NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, AND THEY HAVE MORE RIGHTS,GET MORE BENIFITS THEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WHEN THEY ASK US TO REPORT ANYTHING WEIRD, OR NOT NORMAL, AND WE DO, WE JUST GET IGNORED. WE SPEND MORE MONEY TRYING TO SAVE OTHER COUNTRIES, AND ILLEGALS THEN WE DO HELPING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THIS JUST MAKES MY STOMACH CHURN.

I have recently received this email which sounds like what is stated above.I've checked with the BBB and of course there has been no complaints but they are not listed with the BBB and the BBB also states the contact # given is a non working number, which I checked myself and also that any mail(not sure if meant email or postal) is sent back as undeliverable. I'm pretty much thinking comman sense is telling me that this is in fact a scam, if it sounds to good to be true..normally is right? Help Please.
