Employment Scams

 Search Employment Scam Emails

Yet another scam that I really get angry about because these scammers target those who may be in desperate need of a job.  I have seen victims' stories where they have lost everything in these scams including their families and homes.  Scammers targeting jobseekers find victims through legitimate job sites, social networking sites and freelance sites.  They will also post ads on job sites and on sites such as Craigslist looking for "logistics managers", "personal assistants", "payment specialists" or "account managers".  Some may or may not require your banking information for "direct deposit" in which they will either use that as an excuse to get your bank account or just ask for it to make them appear legitimate.

Some of the scammers have entire networks, complete with online databases on their fake websites for their "employees" to use.  Many of these are quite sophisticated scams and unfortunately, many victims don't hear the alarm bells until they've already done the work.  Most of the time they don't realize it's a scam until the scammer disappears on "payday".  They run a few different scams, but there are a few that seem to be a bit more rampant right now.

Check Mule

The scammers ad or email will claim that they are looking for someone to handle their payments.  They may give some excuse about having problems with payments outside of their own country and that's why they need people like you.  Some of the scammers try to copy well-known company names, others may require utmost secrecy and are very vague about what their company does.

In short, what they will have you doing is either receiving a bundle of their fake checks or they may even have you printing the checks yourself.  Then you are provided a list of names and addresses to mail the checks to.  The purpose of this scam is to have you use your mailing address and information to help them scam even more victims by sending out the fake checks.  This way, none of the checks can be traced back to them.

Payment Mule

Many times, scammers use the guise of "mystery shopper" or "personal assistant" to perpetrate this fraud.  It's despicable what these scammers do because many times the victims are innocent people looking for legitimate "mystery shopper" jobs.  The scammers tell potential victims that their first "job" will be to receive a check and they are to cash the check at their bank.  Then, they are told to take the cash to a Western Union or Moneygram and send the money to someone else.  The scammer may also tell them that if they do this "job" well, that other types of jobs will come.  In all cases, the check is fake and when the bank returns the check, the victim is responsible for the money.  In some of the cases I've seen, the victims may have cashed multiple checks before the bank returned the first one, leaving them thousands of dollars in the negative.

Reshipping Scam

The reshipping scam is a way for scammers to launder their money, use stolen credit cards and/or get merchandise to resell or use themselves.  They will typically call the job "logistics manager" or "distribution manager".  They will use stolen credit cards, stolen Paypal accounts or fake checks to purchase merchandise online.  They will have the items shipped to your address and when you receive the merchandise they will have very specific instructions on how to reship the items.  They may have you test used products, take detailed photos of the items, record serial numbers, print "packing slips" and in the end, repackage and ship the items to another country.  They do this with mules to avoid anything being traced back to them.  Once the scam is caught, all documentation will lead back to the victim, not the scammer.

Foreign Workers Scam

The emails sent out in this scam can be very convincing.  They may often appear to be sent by legitimate companies for legitimate positions, but I assure you, these are scams.  The emails will be specific about needing "US" or "UK" or "Australian" workers only and that they are needed in a foreign country.  A popular target for these scammers also seem to be Au Pairs and cruise liner employees. They will ask for your Resume or CV and passport.  Of course most people will reply that they don't have a passport and that is the scam.

Once they know you are interested, they will then have you contact a fake immigration office or travel agency.  Then you will be required to pay all sort of fees to supposedly get your travel documents and passport in order to go to work for the company overseas.  As in all scam cases, they will have you send the fees through Western Union or Moneygram which is NOT how ANY country requires you to get your travel documents.  You will never receive your passport since there is no real job or real agency.



The best way you can protect yourself from scams like these is to:

1) Steer clear of emails that sound suspicious or are too good to be true

2)  Do an internet search for the email address the sender is using.  Many times it will more than likely appear on sites that report scams

3) NEVER give your bank details to someone you don't know, especially if you "met" them through uninvited emails and especially if they ask you to email your information to them.  Legitimate companies, banks, lawyers and other professionals would NEVER do this.

4) NEVER send money to someone you don't know, especially if they ask you to send the money to another person in another country (Africa should sound the alarm!)  Legitimate companies, banks, lawyers and other professionals would NEVER do this.  Legitimate companies will also NEVER have you send money to an individual's name through Western Union, Moneygram or any other money sending service, even if they are in the same country.


My list of past employment scammers for search purposes:
*Please do not report these emails to the service providers.  The scammers will simply create a new email somewhere else making internet searches fruitless.  We don't want them creating new emails because as long as they continue to use these email addresses, people that search will find them listed as scam emails.
