Check Processing Employment Scam Letter

Letter Source: The first in this 3-letter series came from Romania. This letter, like the second letter in the series, came directly from Cincinnati, Ohio, with no attempt at misdirection of any kind. The fax number is located in Miami, Florida. The French phone numbers are land lines located in Paris. The IP address 2216.68.79.157 contained in the Full Header of the second letter was used for this email as well, so I'm repeating the warning: it has been banned at www.DNSstuff.com as "a proxy that is being abused by malware, and the proxy is in turn abusing us." This means that those of you who are receiving this email are at high risk of Identity Theft. Please change all your passwords, watch your bank and credit card statements at all times, get new credit card numbers as soon as possible, pick up your credit reports at www.freecreditreport.com and monitor them regularly. Keep in mind that these scams have 3 purposes: to get your money, to cause you to unknowingly participate in money laundering, and to steal your identity. |
Dear Representative,
You will receive starting next week money orders with USPS and sometimes Airborne Express.
The money orders will be between $150 and $2500 and we may have more orders from same buyer sometimes. We will update you with sender's names and every amount that is confirmed as shipped by our customers.
Your task will be to accept various financial instruments (95% of them are checks), to cash them at your bank, and transfer the funds to our company after the checks clears with the bank. You will get 10% off each cleared transaction. Of course your commission does not include any business expenses, such as wire transfer originating fee etc. Those fees are supported by our company. Your commission remains on your bank account after the transfer has been completed, and you can feel free to use it as you like.
The money orders will be issued sometimes by Western Union and sometimes by USPS. Cashier Checks are issued by the sender's bank.
It will be good to use a long-established account with one of the big players (Wachovia, Bank of America, Bank One etc.). They usually take minimum time to clear checks. If possible please avoid small credit unions, as they require at least 2 weeks to proceed. Smaller community banks sometimes work great.
We strongly recommend to use your pre-established personal or business account in order to cash money orders or cashier checks same day or in max. 48 hours after you deposit the payments.
We started the advertising program in US yesterday and by Monday we will update you with customer's names and amounts that will be sent to your address. We estimate that you will receive in first two weeks aprox. $2,500 or $3,000 to process every week. These amounts for processing will grow next weeks. Your commission is 10% for every payment that you receive and cash.
Please check your email twice every day in order to receive informations from our company.
Starting today, within 4-5 days you will start to receive payments from our customers.
Please send us a message back to confirm that you received these instructions.
Thank you for patience.
