colsoop Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I have not seen this method of scam used before (long post): We are glad to offer you a job position at our company Spredonline. We have studied your resume and considered you to be a suitable candidate to join our company. Let me give you some information about our company and its objectives. This information will help you to understand working principles and follow the company’s rules. Our company was established in 1997 and since then we have been developing and improving our business. Now we are going to open 5 new offices in the UK (in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham) by January 2006. Also you can find more detailed information about our company on our official website (http://www.spredonline.com). Our offers: - regular job with a guaranteed salary: J 3050 plus extra 5 percent from a transaction turnover. - 7-12 working hours per week Benefits: - six paid holidays per year. - a fortnight paid vacation per year. - a possibility to work at home - flexible hours Your task: If you visited our website you should know that our company deals with money. It’s evident that is rather complicated to obtain new clients in the rough competition conditions. We do our best to improve and perfect our company’s service system. Recently we have introduced 24/7 support and SMS delivery service. And now our clients have the whole range of services for successful operation with working financial assets. Also we are planning to develop a new dividend payment system. On the payable date all the dividends are to be surely sent to the clients. All wires have to be transferred through our bank accounts. Also we are able to transfer funds from our banking account only to another bank account but not to money transferring system account (including WU). At the end of each year we have to provide an annual financial report to Board of Inland Revenue in which our financial activity is to be represented. At the same time about 90 percent of the clients live outside United Kingdom and they are unable to receive money through short term wire transfers because international transfers take 5-14 business days. It causes certain customer inconveniences, transfer delays and customer dissatisfaction. To avoid any discords with the clients and to improve the dividend payment system we have decided to open a new job position. This post is targeted at attracting new customers, speeding up payment process, increasing company’s turnover. YOUR TASK is to help us with the payment process. You have to acquire a bank account in any of UK banks. If you don’t have a UK bank account you can easily set it up. It takes only 2-3 days for a UK resident. Now let us present a working algorithm: - J2000 should be transferred to our client. - you receive J2000 on your bank account. - on taking J100 (your income) you are to transfer J1900 to the client as soon as the funds appear on your account. On completing 16 transfers per month, J3000 each, your monthly income is J2400 + J3050=J5450. We are fully aware of the position benefits, good salary and further prospects. Despite illusory simplicity of the job it is rather challenging and will require responsibility and diligence. We must respond to our customers` every need and we want you to realize it. Our company’s policy is to provide a constant clients flow. So the main rule is effectiveness. If you feel you can be a reliable and serious worker and are eager to get this job please, contact us: [email protected] You will be provided with all necessary information within 24 hours and will be able to start in 48 hours. Please, do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have. Yours Faithfully Sale Nelk Spredonline Co` manager 12, Cotrury road Dongguan, China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I've had a job scam before, almost sounds reasonable I'm sure some would think "well maybe it'll be alright!". Have you looked on the website? Take 5 mins to look around - it's CRAP!!!! I could've written something better than that!!! They spelt policy wrong for a start!! Half the links don't go anywhere, it's basically just a front page with a few sub-pages of text!! I bet their getting loads of peoples bank account info as well, making cheque books with them and copying identities etc. Bastids!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian R Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Could be a case of they send you cheques you pay them in they clear you pay the money out 6 months later its refered to drawer and your out of pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Yep, it's a variation of the stolen cheque scam. Last time it was contacting people selling bits on eBay and asking to pay them the asking price in exchange of accepting a cheque worth 10 times more --- then send back most of it. Guess what? the cheques will never clear, and even if you DO get the money from your bank, they'll hold you liable for the whole sum, because some cheques may take weeks to clear (and not just 5 working days as most people think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTIN R Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Sounds like a stolen cheque scam to me to!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
