ScamSafe: Reporting check cashing & other Internet scams

Reporting check cashing & other Internet scams

ScamSafe has been contacted by a number of victims of the check cashing work-at-home scams asking what they should do. So we contacted the FBI and this is what we were told.

"Anyone who responded to these fraudulent schemes--whether you lost money or not--should file an online report with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C). Your report will be analyzed and disseminated to the appropriate federal, state and local law enforcement to help ensure a coordinated investigation. Anyone who lost money should also report the matter to law enforcement, whether it be the local FBI office* or Police Department."

Also, if you lost money, wired money or gave out your account number, you should contact the fraud department of your bank and probably close the account immediately. Although checking or savings accounts don't have the same protections against fraud as credit cards, your bank may provide recompense for lost funds--it's worth asking. And you'll need a police report to back up your claims.

Here is another Careerbuilder.com attached scam...

Hello, my name is Michael Thomas and I work for a
company called Void Computers Inc. I found
your resume on careerbuilder.com because we are
searching for reliable professionals across the United
States who are interested in a potentially lucrative
partnership with an international firm.

Void Computers Inc. is a leading software company in Latvia
and we are currently expanding our operations in the
United States. But because of various banking and
legal restrictions, we are unable to open commercial
bank accounts in every state. As such, Void Computers Inc. is
recruiting partners to conduct simple banking
transactions on our behalf.

The process is simple. If you were interested in
becoming a US partner of Void Computers Inc., you would sign
an agreement that would make you an official financial
representative of our company, able to accept invoice
payments on our behalf. Instead of asking our
American clients to conduct complicated international
payment transactions (which are especially complex for
Latvian companies), we have them work with our
partners to submit payments. You would then forward
the payments to us, a simple transaction for an individual.

Void Computers Inc. pays its partners a 10% commission on
every transaction. In addition, we will take care of
any incremental tax liability you incur. Depending on
which state you are in, and of course on how good
business is, your monthly commissions could be as high
as $40,000 per month.

If you are interested in working with us, or if you
want more information, you can contact me directly at
my personal email address: michaelthomas@voidcomp.com. I'll need your
full
name and mailing address so I can send you the
contract and other paperwork necessary to get started.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I also fell for this scam but after looking into it I found out that all the emails that where sent to me all had the same IP address on them. I looked up the IP to see who it was registered to and found out that is a company right here in the U.S. and i then emailed there abuse center and let them know what is going on. I ask them to look into it and get back to me on what they are going to do about it. For you people that might not know that every email that is sent out has an IP address. They have programs out there that you can type in a ip address or web site address and it will return who and where they are located. So I used the program to look up www.delta-soft-labs.com and the IP address off of the emails and they both came back to the same address and company in New Jersey. This is all I got so far hope it helps any feed back would be nice.

Thanks

Raymond

Tom:
I got lured into the International Health Care scam, but actually got a bad gut feeling when I received the checks. So I decided to hold the "funds" in my account until I got some additional information. Obviously, I have not heard back from them, but these funds are just sitting in my account. What should I do about this money? Should I contact someone?

Posted by: Chris at Jun 7, 2005 8:40:36 PM

Triangle Smart Software Inc and Qchex ... I have just been scammed by them. My feeling is these two companies are in this scam together. Careerbuilder says they are now blocking access to Triangle Stupid Software from their site ... problem is they'll come back using different name & sign on information. Anybody have an issue with Qchex, please go to Qchex.com and bombard them with complaints. My advice, please DO NOT deposit the Qchex into your personal account, this gives these low-lives your account information. Better yet, DO NOT get involved in any of the check-cashing scams. Like someone else said "if it's too good to be true" ... DON'T DO IT !!

Posted by: Daniel at Jun 7, 2005 5:37:22 PM

I think I fell for this scam, Triangle Smart Software. The check they sent has passed through the bank but I've been unable to contact the sender. The check was sent via a QChex where you print a check with no signature but only have a routing code and account #. I think anyone that deposits a check with this scam now has them having your account number and routing code.

I started working for a company called Sonera Ltd. shipping packages to foreign countries. They also want you to transfer money via western union or paypal. Has anyone had any similar companies offer them employment of such king through careerbuilder?

Posted by: lisha at Jun 2, 2005 4:37:15 PM

FOLLOW UP

Recieved email from pat conroy after emailing her and telling her about the bounced checks.

Dear Representative,

We are investigating the matter and we apologies for any inconvenience. We will make sure in the future that this thing will not happen again. Please be patient until we find what happened with this order, we will inform you as soon as possible. Everything will be worked out so do not worry. The person that sent the checks works and represents a hospital that has a long history with us so there will not be any problem finding out what happened.

Thank you, Pat Conroy

What happens if you cash the check?

Am I in serious trouble?

Posted by: Joon Hwang at Jun 2, 2005 2:19:57 AM

I got the "Euro Express" e-mail too after responding to the "yourbestjob@yahoo.com" e-mail. Luckily for me, I am so untrusting of anything that smells the least bit funny that I never responded to it, even though the too-good-to-be-true premise of making "$3000 a week" is more than tempting to anyone who may really need the income. Don't fall for it!! Another channel of contact is to call your local Secret Service office (see http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml for contact phone #'s) and report to the officer who answers that this may be a potential money laundering scheme. I busted another operation similar to this one by reporting them to the Secret Service

Posted by: ScamBlaster at May 31, 2005 10:49:45 PM

Here is another one, it sounded very tempting at first but I thought about it and it sounded to good to be true. I then tried to find some info on this "software company" based in France and found nothing. Luckily I found this web site. here is a copy of the "contract"

Triangle Smart Software, Inc. Representative Contract

You can read the contract in this email attachment.

You can print the last page of the contract, sign it, make one picture of the signed page (digital picture if you have no scanner) and send this picture with signature back to us via email or to the fax number below or via email.

Our fax number is 310-388-3981

In order to start your job today we have some requirements:

1. Be at least 21 years old and have a bank account (in order to deposit checks if needed â€“ IMPORTANT: WE WILL NEVER ASK FOR YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBERS OR OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION FROM YOU)
2. Have a postal address where you will receive money orders and cashier checks from our customers.
2. Check your email several times a day (two times each day is needed)
3. You need to respond to our emails same day.
4. Be responsible, hard working and communicable.
5. Be able and know how to cash one check or money order.
6. Have at least one free hour every day to cash payments that may come from our customers.

Our support team will be next to you in order to have all payments processed same day.

All you need is an established bank account, where you will cash the checks. It really depends where you cash the checks. We do not welcome new bank accounts for our business for a few reasons. First, you won't be able to cash checks fast, because the banks put at least a few weeks' hold to deposits into a new account.

We do make background research on all the international customers before we sell our software products.
We also verify the checks for funds availability before it arrives to you. In an outstanding case of any problem, we offer a full guarantee to cover the fees. That way you can feel absolutely protected and safe.

You will receive various payments from our US or Canada buyers for our software products/services and every customer will specify when the payment will be sent the amount and the products that were purchased.

In FRANCE they ussualy deliver the funds within 10 days if we have one bank account open to one US bank(we have the bank account open to one FRENCH bank - this will delay payments with another 3-4 days) and this delay is not profitable for our company.

With US representatives help we can process these payments faster and the customers will be served faster.

We are selling in US 95% from time software programs and sometimes IT hardware. We are also selling other various IT products if customers are interested.

If there will be something that you don't know, simply ask our support team and you will have all the answers within few hours or minutes.

Please call me Sylvia, my name is Sylvia Gerard and I will keep you informed regarding payments and procedures.

Here is step by step explanation of entire process:

1. You agree with our contract and are ready to process payments.
2. We advertise our products and in 4-5 days after you agreed with terms you start to receive payments from our customers (money orders, checks) made payable to your name and address for instant processing
3. You cash one payment (check or money order) - at the bank or check cashing store
4. You deduct your 10% from total amount of the check or money order that you receive and cash.
5. You transfer us 90% minus transfer costs (the transfer costs are paid from our 90%) with bank to bank transfer
6. You receive another payment and you process it.

This job implies only checks/money orders cashing, nothing else is required to work for us. We will never ask you any fees to work for us. If you know to cash a check, this is the job for you. Please don't expect to earn thousands of dollars in the first weeks, we promise that you will earn more than $4,000 every month but first we have to advertise our products in US, you will surely make $500 every week in your first month of work.

To begin this job we need your FULL NAME AND ADDRESS (your postal address) FOR PAYMENTS that will be mailed(shipped) to your postal address:

Full name:
Address:
City, State, Zip code:
Phone number:

Your name and address must be sent also via email, sometimes fax messages or pictures are not readable 100%

The money orders and cashier checks that will be processed by you can be cleared same day you receive the USPS delivery.

Your response is expected today and also your signature (last page of contract signed).

From the moment we have your approval that you agree with all terms of the contract and your name and address we will start the advertising program and ask customers to send checks and money orders to your address.

Thank you

Ok, so I got an email regarding one of these check cashing scams. Please people...you should always be weary when something seems to good to be true!!! Obviously at first I thought it sounded good, but then I decided to google the company (even after checking out their "legit" website) and found this site.....ok instead of complaining...I went onto careerbuilder and set a mode of private so no one can view my resume. This might seem inconvenient - however, if I am seeking employment then I only want those I'm interested in to recieve my resume via ME!! as well I blocked this persons email address from my account. However, this seems to be a new person from: Madrid Spain - stating that his name is Michael Guest

** After the first email I asked s/he/it to send more information...after reading the "details" I almost thought that this was some sort or drug ring or something...who knows...Just remember...if you are getting $$ for basically doing nothing...then how legitimate is it??

Posted by: Angela at May 26, 2005 1:30:55 PM

Thanks for your input Nicole…

I also contacted my bank yesterday and advised them that the 2 checks I deposited the previous day may well be fakes and to let me know ASAP what they find out. I then asked them if by chance the checks were for real… once they have “cleared” the bank and the funds were transferred to my account etc, was there a way that the Payer could still turn around and stop payment on them in the future. They said the Payer could stop payment on them at any time even months later so this is an even bigger deterrent in getting cash and sending it to Pat Conroy or who ever and however they instruct once you notify them you “have the money in your possession”. After I got off the phone with the bank, I decided to try and look up the street address that was printed my photocopies of the checks (via map-quest) and it doesn’t appear to exist. I also tried calling the phone # on the checks a couple of different times and got an answering machine that sounded like some personal residence which had some small Pest Control home business or something. I’ve tried to look up an International Health Care Inc. website, and they don’t appear to have one which is highly unusual in this day and age. I haven’t been able to come up with a phone # for them either where I could actually talk to Pat Conroy or even a live person for that matter either.

So for the moment, since I haven’t given out my actual bank account # or social security # or anything to Pat Conroy/International Health Care Inc, I guess the only thing to do is let these checks continue to sit in my bank account and see what happens from here?

Posted by: Norm at May 25, 2005 7:52:32 PM

Yes,
I was hit by this one through Careerbuilder.Com too.

I called my bank to see whether they verified any checks and they said that checks "clear" in 1 business day.

Here is what I did...

I checked the addresses on the checks as well as the names. Both came up funny. One had an address that wasn't even located in the city typed on the envelope.

I asked "Pat Conroy" for the company's US Tax Idenfication Number to see if "she" would respond.

I e-mailed the American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics for information regarding the supposed certification of International Health Care Inc.

I initially contacted Careerbuilder but they never responded with any information about this company.

I called the bank back to let them know that I recieved fake checks.

My next step is to report this scam to the FBI. Yahoo doesn't do anything to these people and the bank only cares about getting their money back.

Posted by: Nicole at May 25, 2005 4:52:25 PM

I too just received 2 checks for $1760.00 & $1690.00 respectably from Carol Johnson on behalf of Healthcare International/Pat Conroy. They were issued using Qchex.com. I haven't drawn on them yet or given out any other info aside from my mailing address, phone # and what bank I use. I did make photo copies and then deposited them into my account, but luckily that's as far as I have gotten so far. What should I do next if this is indeed a scam?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Posted by: Norm at May 24, 2005 2:50:51 PM

I agreed to work for Internation Healthcare Inc. and they sent me two checks today one for $1870 from John Macaron and the other for $1490 from Stephanie Doty. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to check if these checks are legit or not?

Posted by: Melissa at May 23, 2005 12:21:26 PM

I got the same email. Getting a check from

Suzanne Jacobs 715 and? $330.35
David Lawrence Cavanaugh $2,549.95

So this is total BS!!!!!

Posted by: Drew at May 22, 2005 11:53:52 PM

Dear Representative?nbsp; Drew Small

This is an update of payments that you must receive these days from V-Tech Sendit Software, Inc. customers, shipped with USPS regular shipping method.

These checks are already on the way to your address and you should receive anytime these days:

Suzanne Jacobs????715??and? $330.35

David Lawrence Cavanaugh????? $2,549.95

These are cashier checks and can be cleared same day to your bank or deposit if needed.

We prefer the cashing method to be faster, just choose the best way to have the funds cleared same day you receive them.

Please reply with checks info that were received until today if were delivered.

We will send you the transfer method to send the funds to our company if you cashed them already.

More payments are on the way and some of customers didn't confirmed the shipping yet but notified that the payments will be sent two days ago.?

Your fast response is appreciated.

Note: these payments are not all the payments that were shipped. You must receive more checks from another 2 customers. They just didn't replied yet with shipping confirmation but specified that they will send two days ago.

Have a nice day today

Posted by: Drew at May 22, 2005 11:50:35 PM

Posted by: dave at May 20, 2005 7:27:38 PM

I received my emails from a different company and wanted you to know who they are. I have 2 different companies. I also received a check from one of the companies for over $4000 today and I placed it back in the mail marked "return to sender." It was a bank of america check from Qchex.com

Posted by: dave at May 19, 2005 8:08:58 PM

Had one from Monster.com.

Paul Restuccia"
Thanks for contacting Euro Express

We are a company created to assist small vendors from Eastern Europe
and Russia in their work in US and Canada.

E-commerce is now growing fast in that region. The only problem that
stops Eastern European e-commerce is that the region is not supported
by major Internet payment systems.

Our aim is help sellers from Russia, Ukraine and Eastern Europe to
enter US and Canada markets. We've tried different working schemes but
none of them was good enough. Finally we decided to use P2P agent
method of work.

P2P stands for Person to Person transactions.

We can offer you a job of transaction manager.

Right now we have openings for Internet transfers and checks processing

Now let me explain your job:

E.g. We have a client from Russia who is selling his services to his
client in US. His client is willing to pay him with Paypal but the
person from Russia can't accept Paypal transfers as Russia is not
supported by Paypal.

Paypal is not the only system but it's just most popular.

You work is to accept Internet transfers to your account and resend it
to our client in Russia using his preferred method of payment (usually
Western Union).

We are offering you 20% of all money that came to your account.
You are responsible for transfer fees when sending funds to Russia.

We guarantee you a money traffic of at least $18000 a month. Usually
about $30000 a month with an average transfer of $800-$2000.

Checks processing is about the same. You'll receive checks, deposit
them and send cash to our client using the method of payment preferred
by client. We offer 12% for such work

This job is legal and is not needed to be licensed in US and Canada.

Waiting for reply

Best Regards,
Paul

I ASKED SOME QUESTIONS AS I COULD NOT FIND ANY INFO ON THIS COMPANY EURO EXPRESS IS A PACKAGE DELIVERY SERVICE AND CIS EXPRESS (EMAIL ADDRESS) IS A PACKAGE AIRLINE IN RESPONSE I GOT THIS EMAIL

Here's some info about our company:

Euro Express was created in March 2003 to assist small vendors and
individuals from Russia, Ukraine and Eastern European countries in
their work in US and Canada's markets.

Most of our clients are working in adult business or selling software.
Payment is the main problem for such sellers. The most popular methods
of payment for such sellers are instant P2P payment systems. The
most popular of those systems is Paypal www.paypal.com. The system
combines easy transfers, high security and affordable rates. But
Paypal do not support Russia and Eastern European countries. A lot
of our clients tried to use Paypal but had no success in it. It was
very hard to withdraw money to Russia and a few of them even lost
their money blocked by Paypal in their accounts without any chances to
get them back.

There are only two methods of payment available Russia and Eastern
European region - Western Union and Wire transfers. Wire transfers
and rather complicated and are used only for purchases of $5000 and
more. Western Union is not widely known by US customers and Western
Union fees are rather high for P2P transfers. This makes the work of
individual seller about impossible.

Our aim is help such sellers. We've tried different working schemes
but none of them was good enough. Finally we decided to use P2P agent
method of work.

Right now we have over 500 clients who are working with us on
permanent bases. We work as an agent between our clients and
individuals in US. 11 months of successful work shows the benefits of
that organization scheme for all parties involved.

Starting with online payment systems now we are also working with
checks processing and direct transfers.

We also provide high level of security for everyone. We check all
seller before we start working with them to verify their legibility
and legibility of the content they are selling. We also verify all our
employees before they are allowed to work with out clients and our
employees are protected from any type of reversals by our policy of
next day refunding (money will be credited from our client's account).
Also note that you'll receive all transfers only AFTER services are
rendered. This protects us from being involved in online fraud and
money laundering schemes.

Our main office is located in Moscow, Russia.
In 2005 we are planning to open our Kiev and New York branches.

Right now we have openings for Checks and wire processing.

Note: we also have a special offer for workers with business accounts

What you need to work with checks.

Some of our clients are working with transfers that are to high for
Paypal and other online payment systems. To work with those clients
you need to accept checks or direct deposits to your checking account.

What you need to start:

1. To have a checking account. At least 4 months old.

2. Be able to accept incoming transfers and resend them in 3 days.
(Only after transfer is cleared at your bank)

3. A copy of your ANY legal ID scanned or faxed to us.
This is needed because we are working with your client's money and
we have to be sure in our employees. This copy will be used ONLY
for verification of Identity.

Scanned copy is preferred
Send scans to this email address

We offer 12% for processing bank transactions.
You are responsible for all transfer fees.
Transfers are usually $8000-$15000
Western Union transfer fee for large amounts is about 5%
Using International wire transfer is about $50

Sample transaction:

1. You receive a check for $15000
2. You deposit this check to your bank account and cash it
3. You should send 88% of funds received to our client.
That would be $13200
4. Transfer funds with our client's preferred method - Western Union
or Wire transfer.
Sending $13200 with Western Union would cost you about $600.
You income is about $1200.
Transfers using wire transfers are much cheaper but clients usually
prefer Western Union

"Dear Candidate,

i havent heard anything form my bank about the checks i tryed to cash, its been 3 weeks, but they keep buggin me to keep on with this, what im gonna do is , call the company that the chech is from and ask if they made it out to me ,, i think that would keep it legit if it is legitamatly made out to me , what do you think?

Posted by: dave at May 17, 2005 5:13:24 PM

Thanks for the info and the heads up. Im finding it helpful and Im sure others will to.

Posted by: Willis at May 17, 2005 9:28:33 AM

IF YOU GOT CHECKS FROM ANYONE PLEASE READ THIS

Never cash any checks received in these scams. DO NOT TRY TO "CATCH" THE SCAMMERS BY CASHING THE CHECKS.

If you did cash the checks--or attempt to--yes, you could be in some trouble, at the very least with your bank.

Posted by: Tom, Editor of ScamSafe at May 17, 2005 8:29:03 AM

Willis: I recommend that you report this to the IFCC (http://www.ifccfbi.gov). And call your bank immediately and at the very least, ask them to flag your account for possible fraud. Tell them what happened. Ask that they call you before making any changes to your account like address, etc. The fraudsters might use your personal information to get your account #'s. Although I'd say you're a heck of a lot safer than someone that gave the account number. Break off ALL contact.

Posted by: Tom, Editor of ScamSafe at May 17, 2005 8:24:03 AM

I Got this and signed up for it but had a nagging feeling it was a scam so went to work on my research. My question is... If I signed the contract but havent given out any information other than email address, home address, Phone, and bank name. (yeah, I didnt get that nagging feeling until after they sent me the confermation. Oops) Do I just break all email contact and call it over? Do I contact someone? Do I have to worry about my accounts or anything dispite never having given out the account #? What all do I need to do to be clear of this?
Thanks much.

Posted by: Willis at May 17, 2005 4:55:03 AM

Posted by: dave at May 12, 2005 5:04:36 PM

Posted by: Joe Finn at May 10, 2005 4:35:37 AM

I was jsut about to send in the International Health Care letter to that Pat Conroy in the U.K. I was minutes away and figured I would dig a little more then just the website search(which is there) copyrighted 2005. Please don't fall for this scam. I knew it sounded to damn good. Now I am p' oed. The job sites like careerbuilder need to get it together. The poor folks with the lost checks or stolen checks and money orders should get justice. Thanks for the site. Keep this puppy up! I thought I was done with the scams after that lil stupid Nigerian scam...spotted that one a mile away. This healthcare or international business scam looked legit with the contract and everything. Nip it in the bud folks.

I made the transfer to my account and followed the instructions from the so called Delta Soft Labs. Three days after I had to go to my bank branch, because my account became onto "restricted" that means I can't access to it. As per I was told in the bank branch all these things are related with e-mail fraud. At this moment my bank is doing the search to find out where this fraud comes from. I didn't send any message to the person who contected me using CarrerBuilder, neither to the person who sent the contract and the information. I don't want to aware them that about the detection of this fraud. Today I received a message from CareerBuilder (exactly to the first one, but under different name - Dominick Mohan [CandidateEmail@site.careerbuilder.com].
This is a fact that something wrong with this posted advertisement.
Please, take your actions to avoid this kind of scam. Some deshonest people are using your system to scam and commit frauds.

IS THERE ANYTHING TO STOP THESE SCAM COMPANIES?

Posted by: Diosdado Corrales at May 9, 2005 6:57:37 PM

Since we have all been screwed over by careerbuilder.com I think they're should be some way that we can go after carrerbuilder.com for letting these idoits have our information, right? We cant even post our resume in hopes of a real job. Maybe a class-action lawsuit or something, would make them increase their security on the website! I have agreed to work with a scam. Jus to get information to pass on to the autorities, to track down these fools. The scam is Interantional healthcare,Inc. from Pat Conroy. I have recieived my first check for $1,500 USD in-turn my keep is $150.00 USD, yeah right!! Anyways jus watch out for these fools.

Posted by: anom at May 8, 2005 10:57:40 AM

Posted by: SlammerOT5 at May 7, 2005 7:40:27 AM

I received this same letter today from career builder.also..... asking for paypal...I'm new to this site. I found it because I did a search on this delta labs bullshit before getting invovled. Thank god for Google and the web. I think that Americans are too smart for these scumbags trying to scam from overseas. These poor bastards are using the internet because they are pretty much untouchable from our laws in that part of the world.They laugh at us when we mention the FBI. Western union is all over the globe.They just want to make money and pretty much doesn't give a shit about where the money is coming or going to... their policy is "it's between you and him"... I was even asked to send money to Romania's Western union to pay for some brand new laptops on ebay.What kind of idiot does this moron think I am? After 911 most of the country is suspicious of anything and everything. Scammers are getting desperate. Our country is full of afluence,prosperity and technologies.
anyway, my question is...
WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENS IF YOU COOPERATE WITH THE SCAM? CAN SOMEBODY WHO WAS A VICTIM PLEASE WALK US THROUGH THE PROCESS AND EXPLAIN HOW THEY ARE SCAMMING?
I know its a scam now, and I saw the letter fifty million times( so please stop posting it)...I just want to know how the scam works.
thanks for your time.

I have received eamil from DeltaSoft Labs Inc today this time is a new person jieming Zhang and now they want me to open Paypal Account so beaware with new name and new scheme

I received a "Delta Soft Labs" letter today. I sent all info to the "scam" department at CareerBuilder (csi@careerbuilder.com) and sent copies to the securities and exchange scam site (enforcement@sec.gov).

I got the same email from Delta Soft Labs. What are ya'll doing about this. I contacted careerbuilder, but didn't get much help. Can someone tell me if they did anything different. I don't want these guys to keep this up, but I am not sure who to contact... Thanks!!

Posted by: Brandy at May 6, 2005 8:52:59 AM

I too, have received the same emails. I have responded with a short reply stating that I was interested and asking for more information. Let's see what these morons have to offer! I intend to pass the information along to the proper authorities. Thank you for all the information and my heart goes out to all of you who have been scammed.

Posted by: Rosmari at May 2, 2005 2:13:45 PM

Too funny... I also received the "Delta Soft LABS" scam message today; they now seem to be using CareerBuilder as a means of getting valid email accounts.

The funny thing is, it's the exact same letter as has already been quoted in this thread, word for word. At least they should try and work a little harder on their scams.

Posted by: CleverShark at May 2, 2005 1:54:14 PM

I received an email 9 times regarding a check cashing job from a Pat Conroy for International Health Care. I was very skeptical about the job because I was told that I would never be asked for my bank account information, BUT I was told that the salary I was to be paid would have to be wired to my bank account. DUH!! Pay very close attention to that type of thing. It's a dead giveaway:

We have analyzed your resume and have found one job available for you to work at home right away with a guaranteed monthly income of $5,500 in the first year. No experience needed for this type of job other than the knowledge to access an e-mail and bank account. It does not matter what you do for a living, as long as you have an hour or two free every workday. This job is official and legal according to the U.S. legislation as it is today.

We are a company based in Europe that fabricates and delivers endoskeleton and exoskeleton-style lower extremity prostheses and myo-electric and body powered upper extremity prostheses. We receive orders from U.S.A. and we need a representative to process the payments due to the delays in clearing checks and money orders in Europe.

What we offer:
-Flexible program: two hours/day at your choice, daytime and evening time
-Work at home: checking e-mail and going to the bank
-Part time or full time
-Professional contact team with very good support and communication skills
-Other benefits: no selling involved, no kit to buy, we won't charge you anything
-More than one order to process per day
-Monthly salary: $450 every two weeks to a total of $900 per month
-Commission: 10% off of every money order/check that clears, instantly cash in hand that you will deduct from the cashed amount. If you receive a check of $1,000.00 your net income is $100.00, our company supports any fees. If you process 2-3 orders per day you will make more than $200.00 cash in hand.

What we ask:
-Two free hours daily not including weekends
-Internet access for sending and receiving e-mails, checking your e-mail at least twice per day for information from our company
-Means for you to cash money orders/checks at your bank or any local cashing stores

IMPORTANT: You must be over 21 years old and U.S. citizenship

If these terms are agreeable please contact us and ask to receive a Representative Contract.

Thank you.

I have used a counter. There are 243 text files with 499,995 email addresses in each one. That comes to about 121,498,785 email addresses. I am using a verifier to check each text file as to the accuracy of the email addresses. There are only about 25% that appear to be good. Then you don’t know if the good ones will produce anything or they are part of the scam.

I received my letter from "Alan Shorb" claiming to be from Delta Soft Labs. I posted my resume to CareerBuilder for legit jobs and think it is very sad that I and the rest of you have to wade through the trash to find a job! Good luck to the rest of you in finding a legit job and Thanks again for posting your stories.

Hello - I received the following email from Martin M. Filler "marfil@delta-labs.com" on March 28, 2005. Obviously this looked like a scam, however, I wanted to see what it was about so I asked this "Martin" guy to respond to me with a contract and provide a web site. He was very quick in responding to me with both. In case you need a copy of the contract please let me know(which is similar to some of the details posted by others above giving details of the commissions etc.)

Please let me know if any of you have gone ahead and done any business with these guys and the outcome of your venture. Thanks!

Obviously, I haven't signed the contract. I hope these guys can be caught and put behind bars for trying to scam innocent people.

Thanks and God bless,
Anthony

Tidbit:

1. He also appears to use alternate email
addresses, alias names, and other companies in his scam: Anthony Davis - atriumsoft@juno.com

2. I don't know anything about Atrium Soft Labs, but noticed their email address distinctly differs on their website: info@atrium-soft.com. They also offer an onsite Contact Us page, with no HRDept or HRDept email addy.

Do you think or wonder if they're aware of what's going on?

I went to Future Tech via Careerbuilder.com and set up with them to do online check cashing. My wife and I though it might be something she could do at home. Anyway a week later after I had emailed a copy of my driver's License to setup I started to recieve packages from UPS and FEDEX. From all sorts of places The merchandise inside were Crash Cymbals and Highend digital cameras. At first I did not know where the "parcels" were coming from and called the company as well as the "Bill To:" information and found that the gentelman that was charged for it never ordered anything like that. Then I recieved an email that said I had recieved a "parcel" told me what it was and the Tracking number. They are wanting thier merchandise. I guess I got off lucky in the fact taht I did not have any checks come through however, I am having to call alot of people and tell them that thier credit card or debit card number has been stolen and contacting alot of company's to get return labels for thier merchandise. I am at this time tring to get all the infromation for Winston Blake or Terry Philips whatever his name is as so I can pass that information on to law enforcement officals.
