bigcol Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Got an email earlier, which i will post in a moment, ironic thing is i did set up an account with careerbuilder. co.uk. four days ago as my job is finishing this week:(:( now obviously its a scam but is it a money laundering scam or are they going to try and rip me off and if i did accept payments of up to £10000 into my account from this company (website looks legit) what repurcusions could i face if i played thick and showed them the email and stuff from careerbuilder have a look and let me have your thoughts... Evona Pty. Ltd. 3 Railway Street, Chatswood, NSW, 2067, Australia. Hello Colin , My name is Ostin Brown and I am Evona Pty. Ltd. Staff manager. We have found and reviewed your resume at careerbuilder.co.uk and decided to offer this job to you. Here is the information about Payment Protection Agent position: Job Basis As the basis of our service is to provide payment protection deals on the Internet we need payment protection agents all over the world. Attracting clients from different corners of the world we should have our agents everywhere in order to be able to provide instant payment protection solutions (in-state bank transfers take no more than a few hours). We engage new technologies to deal with thee-document exchange, which makes the process reliable and safe. Our servicedeals only with the paperwork, leaving the financial part (accepting funds on your personal bank accounts from the buyers, and routing them to the sellers according to our instructions afterwards) for you. We can't bare the financial responsibility because in today's world of extremely fast solutions it is time that is of significant importance to our clients. Having an escrow agent in every country we can quickly transfer funds inside the country without wasting time on the international bank transfers, and continue our rapid growth rather than overwhelming our own bank account with inbound and outbound transactions leading to severe hold times and probably service interruption. Career and Benefits Your main task will be receiving money transactions to your personal bank accounts and forwarding them to the next party of the payment protection process, according to our instructions. You will benefit from the commissions, which are 5-7% of each transaction and depend on the quantity of completed transactions and the speed of your work + you will be paid a basic salary of 1500 GBP per month. For your convenience there will be no paychecks, your commission will remain in your account after every successfully completed transaction. The money transfer fee is not included in your commission, meaning that you will deduct it from the received amount, not from your commission. Also you receive 5-7% of the transaction amount. Normally the amounts that we process vary from 2,000GBP to 10,000GBP, but can go higher on special occasions. If you are ready to proceed, please provide us with your AVAILABLE phone number Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need more information. -- Sincerely yours, Ostin Brown, Evona Pty. Ltd.

Scoboblio Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 It's money muling by the sound of it - last I heard was that if you're caught, it has to be proven that you knew the money was from an illegal source to be convicted. Oh and if you took them up on the offer (which obviously you wouldn't), you're going to be dealing with some pretty dubious people who won't leave you alone should you decide to stop.

michael Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 ...what repurcusions could i face if i played thick... You'd get laughed at by fellow forum members. You are playing thick now aren't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 we can quickly transfer funds inside the country without wasting time on the international bank transfers, and continue our rapid growth rather than overwhelming our own bank account with inbound and outbound transactions leading to severe hold times and probably service interruption. Translation.... the amount of money we are shifting around draws attention from the IRS and inland revenue, and we need a mug to pin it on. http://forum.escrow-fraud.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=4140 Doubtful that is linked to the real company.... http://www.evona-online.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendor Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Sounds like you get funds then send on but the funds you receive are retracted several days later leaving you with a big hole to fill. Whats banks and FI can retract after many days and even weeks is astonishing. You unfortunately dont have that protection as it is from a personal account. Steer clear IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
