Payment Processing Scam Letter Database

Instructions • Database List

Monday January 21, 2008

WARNING!  Payment Processing scammers are using the names Fundersonline and Funders Online.  There are two legitimate web sites using that name, www.fundersonline.org and www.fundersonline.com.  Neither of these sites has anything to do with Payment Processing job offers.

Database Instructions:

Open all the letters within the different series such as the Latvia Finance Group, then those letters that stand alone while keeping an eye out for the same phrases, misspellings and grammatical errors, and typestyles.  This will enable you to see that the marketing and recruiting packets are being sent out by different people, but that they were all created by the same individual or group of individuals.

Different scammers change the wording of the packets they receive for several reasons - one reason to put their mark on the outgoing recruitment emails, hoping that their spin will be better than the original literature, what you might call one-upmanship; another is for marketing purposes, which means trying different spins to see which one brings in the most victims.

Unless otherwise stated, the letters in this database were received by American citizens residing in the US. 

The emails of those victims who have been arrested cannot be published so long as there is either an ongoing investigation or open court case. 

If you are an Officer of the Court, have a Payment Processing Scam case, and wish to confer with other Officers of the Court who are currently working such a case or have in the past, please contact us so that we may put you in contact with an Investigating Officer or Defense Attorney.  Write to  or call: Annie McGuire, So. California 562-436-1076 / Frank Walker, CFE, Seattle 206-441-5822 / Michael Angelilli, CFE, Virginia (804) 839-4233.
