"Representatives Wanted"

anti-fraud from usa -

I have been hammered with emails like this. There are a few key points that indicate this is a scam. First "Most of our customers pay out in cash, cheques or money orders and we do not have an account in U.S.A and Canada presently that will clear this money." Of course you don't need anything to "clear cash". But most importantly, the email is seeking "representatives" to "getting to our customers" and "making payments". The rest of the email is about payments.

What you can be sure is that once you agree to be a representative, you will receive numerous checks and payments from "customers" and be asked to forward 90% of the total via Western Union or Wire Transfer (ie: you get to keep 10% for doing almost nothing). It will be a great "job" until you find out all the checks are bogus and you're stuck paying back the bank. That is you will actually LOSE 90% of the total you receive plus the bank fees.

Now, let's get real. If this was legit why would they not open accounts to receive this money in the USA? Do you really think foreign banks won't process checks from the USA? Why are you so special, not being involved in international finance to be chosen for this high paying work?

[company name, address and phone in China]

I represent the above named Company based in China. My company manufacture, supply and export Pharmaceutics, Agricultural, Textile and Chemical Engineering Products for world trade.

We are searching for representatives who can help us establish a medium of getting to our customers in Europe and America as well as making payments through them as payment officers. In our just concluded Annual General Meeting (AGM) I as Regional Manager of this multinational company have been directed to relate with you because of the communication problem faced by most of our Board Members, since many of them cannot read, speak or write English Language except Chinese which is our official Language.

In view of this you are expected to relate directly with me as the company representative since I have been mandated to contact you and give them frequent update about our activities.

Most of our customers pay out in cash, cheques or money orders and we do not have an account in U.S.A and Canada presently that will clear this money. It is upon this note that we seek your assistance to stand in as our representative in your country.

Note that Details of your account is not needed in this transaction. Also, as our representative, you will receive 10% of whatever amount you clear for the company and the balance will be paid to the company's account officer. There will be no financial obligation required from you in this transaction.

Therefore, if you are interested in becoming our representative complete the application form below and send via email or fax:

Comment #1 Cambridge Suites Hotel from Canada -

Many people are being taken advantage of through websites, e-mail, etc by individauls offering non existant jobs at legitimate companies.

If you receive an e-mail from anyone, or see a webposting for a position, contact the company directly, or visit their website.

I work in the hospitality sector in Canada and someone is claiming to represent several hotels in an elaborate scam. DO NOT FALL VICTIM to these types of scams......here's clue to scam artists:

Clue 1 - They advise you not to contact the company directly. Why...so that you can not verify the job offer. Contact the company directly...or visit their website and send them an e-mail directly.

Clue 2 - They ask for a "visa" processing fee, or some other fees...to be semd by money order. Any fees such as these wold be payable to the Canadian Government, not a company

Clue 3 - Accommodation requests are being offered, as well as waghes which are not in line with what "real" wages are. They try to reel you in with amazing "wages"

Clue 4 - They use Yahoo, or some other e-mail provider. Most companies have their own domains and to do not use hotmail, yahoo, crawler, etc

Clue 5 - They ask for personal information.....passport numbers etc.

Clue 6 - Legitimate companies do not recruit via mass e-mailing campaigns.

Educate yourself !
