Check Processing Employment Scam Letter
from: OWT Group, Edward Maff, atlaction.com
NOTE: Edward Maff is an alias. That is not the name of the person who sent the email.

Letter Source: This letter did not come with the Full Headers, so I cannot provide a source report; however, the scam web site (www.atlaction.com) is registered in Russia. It is not on the Internet, but I don't know if it's never been published or if it was taken down. All the resume web sites are being watched by these scammers, but their favorites appear to be Monster.com and Career Builders. This scam letter was identified because one person who was alerted to the Payment Processing scam took the initiative to alert everyone in her personal community. When one of her friends received this email, instead of getting involved the friend recognized the letter as a scam. Way to go! That's our motto: Silence is fraud's greatest ally. Word of mouth is fraud's greatest enemy. Pass the word! |
