Bep Finance Pty Ltd

This was submitted as a comment, but I decided to promote it and give it a post of its own.  This is the classic scam where the scammer sends you a payment (in this case anything from 2000 – 10,000 Euros) and then asks you forward most of the money to a third party.  Within days the original payment is withdrawn by your bank as being fraudulent, leaving you out of pocket to the [Continue reading Bep Finance Pty Ltd]

Proposition for job seeker

This  bit of rubbish was forwarded to me by a friend.  Ms Lundgren uses a hotmail email address and can’t even be bothered to make up the name of a recruitment company to claim to represent. The only jobs going are for scam victims.  If you make the mistake of replying, this scammer will start pretending to send you money.  You will then be asked to forward some of it to an associate [Continue reading Proposition for job seeker]

Vacancy – apply online

My sister forwarded me this scam. In fact she sent me 7 – all with similar titles, all with exactly the same content and all with slightly different email addresses – someone@bg-bestoffer.com

I looked up the domain gb-bestoffer.com – it was registered today by someone in Moscow.

I hope you realise this is a scam.  There is no job, just a team of scammers who are after your money.  If you make the mistake [Continue reading Vacancy – apply online]

JOB VACANCY IN BRUNEL HOTEL LONDON.

This semi-literate scammer has sent out his scam job vacancy to millions of email addresses.  He has no idea who you are and he doesn’t care.  There are no job vacancies at the Brunel Hotel – this scammer just wants to start demanding money from you to pay for fees.  Ignore him.

If you want a hotel job in London, apply to a reputable agency, don’t answer random emails.

From Mr Eddie [Continue reading JOB VACANCY IN BRUNEL HOTEL LONDON.]

Employment Offer

No company anywhere in the world ever needs “payment agents”.  They are all scams.  Put simply, the scammers will appear to deposit money in your account.  They will then ask you to forward most of it to somewhere else.  Your bank then realises that the original payment was fraudulent – and you are left out of pocket, having forwarded money to somewhere else.

Ignore this scammer – who is just after your money.

Monet UK Group

A reader sent me this scam.  She says I recently received this email offering me a job, my details had been accessed via a cv I posted online. I was curious and replied to the first email but became suspicious when the second email requested my online bank login! The second email appeared to be from a company address and the links to the website are real-the website [Continue reading Monet UK Group]

New Employees Wanted

What a rubbish scam.  This scammer can’t even be bothered to make up a fictitious company or a fictitious job description.

There is no job – this scammer isn’t looking for employees –  he’s looking for victims to take money from.  Ignore him.

Hi,

WORK WITH US TO EARN EXTRAL MONEY

Kraft Foods don’t send out random emails to employ random people.  They certainly don’t need any “receiving payments agents”.  They are a large company and well able to handle payments by themselves, without your help or mine.

This scammer tells me I can earn “extral money”.  I’m still wondering what “extral money” is.

If you make the mistake of replying, you will find a scammer asking you for money.  To see how these payment [Continue reading WORK WITH US TO EARN EXTRAL MONEY]

A job for You!

“John Taylor” has written to tell me has a “part time vacant position”.  He doesn’t say what the position is – nor does he say why he has had to send out thousands of spam emails just to fill a part time vacancy.

What Mr “Taylor” is really looking for is victims.  People who will fall for his scam and reply.  Then he will start asking you to send money.  There is no job [Continue reading A job for You!]

Recruiting Agent/Job

If you look at the website that “David Moore” claims to represent you will see that it is a (legitimate) directory of wholesalers.  It doesn’t sell anything.

“David Moore” isn’t looking for representatives to handle payments – he is a scammer who is looking for a victim to steal money from.

To see how these payment processing scams work, take a look at the Scam Victims page of this website.

Meanwhile – ignore this [Continue reading Recruiting Agent/Job]
