February 19th, 2009 | by admin |betsyturminyen asked:
Since my resume is posted and I am unemployed and have of course responded out of couriosity to one of the work at home e:mails which entails depositing and transfering funds from other countries. I have recieved serveral more. Some with a higher percentage of pay than the others. They speak of Attorneys and foriegn need for United States currency and on and on with legal jargin, only to confuse me more
. I hear so often of scams that just take people to the cleaners, am I an idiot for even considering this? I promise I just dont know enough about this kind of thing to catch a loop hole and it sounds to good to be true to make a few deposits and recieve 20-30% . Hmmmmm

It is too good to be true. Ignore these emails.

Scams. Anything that sounds too good to be true usually is.

These are variations of the same scams.
This particaul one is also common for “vacations”.
They write you a check. You cash it and transfer the funds, keeping your percentage. Then 10 days or so later it is found that the check was not good.
You then are legally obligated tot he bank for the amount of money you wired elsewhere, plus fees.

Why would a legitimate person ask a stranger to do their banking. There is a reason that real banks exist.
Of course it is a scam. If you can’t get a regular bank to go along with this scheme it is because it is illegal. And it is illegal because someone will be hurt by this. And that someone is probably going to be you.
