Physician and Philanthropists Mr. George Brumley internet email scam

Although the link to the tragedy is real, the email of course is a scam. We are sorry for the family's loss, and even more sorry someone will take advantage of such a loss. The scam will be simple, in order to get your inheritence, you will have to pay a fee of some kind, be it a tax, or processing fee or attorney fee. This fee of course will need to be wired somewhere, and wherever it is, it is not coming back.

The Scam makes no sense as why would someone you don't know leave you money? Why would a Solicitor (attorney) email you and not call? Why don't they even know your name? You are in the will, but no name? Makes no sense, but I am still worried someone will fall for this scam.

The email comes from ahmadijafa@sbcglobal.net but they want you reply to solicitors1006@sify.com. Would you not think an attorney firm would have their own email account / domain? Just silly at best.

Hope no one falls for it!

Al-Hawshabi Karim 419 Nigerian Scam New 11/19/2009 hawshabi269@yahoo.co.jp

419 Nigerian Scam, New 11/17/2009
They want you to send email reply to hawshabi269@yahoo.co.jp, but the email comes from k_mekp@yahoo.com.hk. This is a very common Nigerian Scam, please avoid these at all cost.

-----------

Hello Dear

My names are Al-Hawshabi Karim , A Yemen national I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business.

Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends .

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have Distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia.

Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan,they refused and kept the money to themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Eighteen Million dollars($18,000,000,00) that I have with a Finance House Abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and despatch it to charity organizations.

N/B:KINDLY NOTE THAT you will take out 20% of this funds for your effort and time. I await your urgent response

Regards,

Mr Al-Hawshabi Karim

Fake eBay Invoice with Trojan Virus attached / Keystroke Logger

Fairly new email circulating with an attached trojan virus. Some actually come in garbled as the email was incorrectly configured when mailed. Regardless there are some obvious clues before even opening the email.

• eBay would never say in the subject of the email "you owe us" the "amount" or "please pay your fees" it is just rude on the surface and would never be sent from a company in that format.
• It starts off with "Dear eBay Seller" and not your user ID and email as registered with eBay. All official eBay emails will have your registered information as they actually know who you are.
• Email comes from eBay International AG, who is that?
• The whole message just reads wrong, so that should be the first sign it is a scam, but the attachment is the dead giveaway, and the most trouble.

If you ever get any emails from eBay or PayPal or anyone for that matter that you believe is a fake, please do not click on any links or open any attachments. In a clean browser window go directly to the site you are concerned about and log in from there. If there is an issue you will find out that way, not from some rogue email.

eBay Invoice, you owe us $2250.67, please pay your fees!

Dear eBay Seller,

We have not yet received the payment for your eBay fees.

The total amount in listing fees that you have to pay is $2250.67.

As this is an over average not paid invoice we have attached and sent it directly to you by email so you can take it to your bank and have the money wired directly to our account or you can pay the invoice online on our website.

Invoice Date: November 11, 2009

Amount Due: $2250.67

You can review your current invoice details by downloading the attached invoice.

The eBay Invoice attached to this email contains all the details on how you managed to owe us such a large amount.

ATTENTION: If your payment is overdue and you do complete the payment in the next 5 working days we will suspend your eBay account. When your account is suspended, we notify you by email and tell you the reason. The same message appears in the Messages section of My eBay.

REMEMBER: We do not ask for your credit card details or password into an email. Be cautious of emails that ask you to submit personal information such as your credit card number or your eBay password. Some members have reported attempts to gain access to their personal information through email solicitations that are made to appear as having come from eBay. These solicitations will often contain links to Web pages that will request that you sign-in and submit information. At eBay, we identify these as 'spoofed' emails or Websites. Remember, eBay employees will never ask you for your password.

Regards,
eBay International AG

Craigslist job scams are on the rise, Craigslist posts warnings

This is directly from Craigslist. It is nice they added this information to the job search page. Being on the career market myself, I am very tired of sending a resume to an advertisement to find out it is just a scam. I have received back a few of the below, the most common for me have been the "Background Checking Services" and "Training & Education Sites".

It is a very trying time with a bad economy and people more than ever really put hope into finding a job or career and it really stinks when you find a good advert for a job that sounds great and send your resume in hopes to get an interview only to find that it is all scam.

Good luck out there, use common sense and good judgment.


--------------------------
SCAM ALERT - affiliate scammers are posting bogus ads promising (nonexistent!) employment, paid research trials, or other compensation, but then notifying repliers that they'll need to jump through a hoop first, directing them to:

* background checking services
* credit checking or reporting sites
* sites where you are instructed to enter your resume or other personal information
* sites where you are asked to sign up for a "free" trial offer
* sites offering training or education
* sites offering a "system" for making money
* survey or focus group sites
* sites designed to deliver malware or misuse your identifying information


all in hopes of earning affiliate marketing commissions or otherwise profiting at the expense of persons seeking employment.


Lots of variations on this scam, but each generally involves dangling (nonexistent!) compensation, and then directing you to a website where you are asked to sign up for something, use your credit card, or input personal information such as your email address.

---------------

Common scam... the recipient will be asked to contact the head of the committee (comittee sic) and eventually asked to send money to cover fees or taxes before receiving your funds. Of course you will need to wire transfer the funds, and you will never see the funds again, nor the prize. In order to make these scams sound more real, the scammer will use real news reports, and links to real sites/companies or events. Avoid all prizes / wins that come via email, they are all scams.

Mrs joy michael
Avu 7 Rue 14 zone 3

West Aferica.

My greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.I am Mrs.joy michael from South Africa.I am married to Archdeacon michael, whom untill his death served as an archdeacon in the St.Michael's archdeaconry in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2006. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $6.5.Million under suspense account in one of the famous bank here in Abidjan capital of Cote d'Ivoire for safe keeping.

Presently,my Doctor confirmed to me that I have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Haven known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages,helping the widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that givethEI took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peaceE I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I will give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. Due to present condition of my health,I was warned by my doctor to avoid receiving or making any call.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Senator Ahmed Bello Petroleum Technology Development Internet Email Fraud

Hurts too much to read this email!
Return-path:

-------

Date:15/4/2009

Dear Sir,

My name is Senator. Ahmed Bello, chairman ad-hoc committee for the investigation of gross mis-application, mis-appropriation and embezzlement of Petroleum Technology Development funds (PTDF) created for the financing of contracts and other projects. After six months of thorough investigations our findings were perfect, painstaking and sustained.Between 2001-06 various contracts were awarded to both foreign and local contractors, duly approved by the presidency.

Our committee found as fact that: 1. On July 16, 2003, the sum of USDA500million was placed by the PTDF with Trans Atlantic Bank(TIB).2. On December 24, 2004, the sum of USDA70 million was placed by the PTDF with the African Development Bank(ADB).3. On October 20, 2007 TIB advanced a loan of USDA400million to NDTV, a business concern promoted by a local businessman, Otunba Fasawe.4. On October 22, 2003, TIB again advanced a loan of USDA96.8million to Mofas shipping company, another business concern promoted by Otunba Fasawe.5. On October 23, 2003, TIB advanced a loan of USDA330 million to Transvari services limited, a business concern promoted by an American, Johnson Hilton .

These funds were grossly mis-applicated and mis-appropriated by a top Government officials in the presidency(names with-held for security reasons) and his collaborators of which Otunba Fasawe happens to be one of them.

Though some contractors were paid for contracts executed from the USDA500 million placed in the TIB, while some are yet to be paid. The USDA250 million placed in the ADB, accrued to no contractor, but simply kept so that it could end up in the private pockets of this top Government officials and his collaborators whom are all under our investigation and they all denied the knowledge of this funds.

Viewing this as a time of opportunity, i and two members of the committee have decided to keep the knowledge and existence of this funds to ourselves, but have revealed it to you based on the premise that you will keep it to yourself and not reveal it to someone else in order not to scuttle our careful scheming and planning thus far.

With the powers conferred on this committee, we have decided with your consent to forward your names through official protocol to the ADB as the rightful beneficiary to this funds(USDA250million) upon which it shall be transferred to your bank account abroad. At this juncture i seek your honest and sincere co-operation before i forward your names to the bank by you providing the following as contained below:

1. Your full names,2. Nationality,3. Home address,4. Telephone number,5. Date of birth,6. Profession. If eventually we succeed in getting this funds transferred to your bank account, we shall be traveling down to your country to pick our own share of the funds and proceed to preferred destinations abroad.

Be informed, top most secrecy must be observed through out this transaction for security reasons.

The agreed sharing ratio goes thus 70% for me and my colleagues, 25% for you and 5% for expenses incurred during the course of this transaction. Note that all risk involvement were carefully taken care of before contacting you and only your matured co-operation and honesty will help us to attain our set objective, i can also be contacted through my email.

I anticipate your earnest response.

Yours faithfully,

Senator.Ahmed Bello

Mrs. Glory Frankline Internet Nigerian Money Scam

Christians, God, Bible Belt, Tug at Heart Strings = Good Scam, especially for older people.

=============

Dearest In The Lord:


I am Mrs. Glory Frankline from Iran. I married
to late Dr. Joshua Frankline who worked with Iran
embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died
in the year 2004.We were married for eleven years with
out a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted
for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian.
Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a
child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is
against. When my late husban was alive he deposited a
box containing the sum of five Million two hundred thausand Dollars in one
of the security company here in Abidjan.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for
the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a
church that will utilize this money the way I am going
to instruct herein.

I want a church or Individual that will use this fund
for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God
and to endeavor the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the
hand that giveth". I took this decision because I
don't have any child that will inherit this money and
my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't
want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers.

I don't want a situation where this money will be used
in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this
decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where
I am going.. I know that I am going to be in the bosom
of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will
fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

I don't need any telephone communication in this
regard because of my health hence the presence of my
husband's relatives around me always. I don't want
them to know about this development.

With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive
your reply I shall give you the contact of the
security company. I will also issue you an
authorisation letter that will prove you the present
beneficiary of this fund.

I want you and the church to always pray for me
because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that
I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that
Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and
Truth.

Please always continue your prayers upon me.Contact
me on this email address any delay in your reply will
give me room in sourcing another church for this same
purpose. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your
reply.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Glory Frankline.

====================

Hello, Please contact me through my private e-mail ( franciscoff2@gmail.com )

My Name is Sr. Francisco De Manuel Mateus, I am from Portugal I have been diagnosed with cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business.

Though I am very rich, I was never generous,I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for.But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.I Would want to have a Personal and Trustworthy Relationship with you, as I intend and willing to empower the change of ownership for the transfer of my Deposits to your personal possession for further Investment and Charity Disbursement to the Less Privilege and Homeles write me via my mail: franciscoff2@gmail.com

I will send you the photos of me and my very hopeless and selfish family members, including my wife, who I learnt is getting married to my personal friend and attorney, Thank you for your due consideration. God be with you.You can reach me through my private email address at franciscoff2@gmail.com

Mike Foxx Cork, Ireland inheritance / email money scam

Very basic money / inheritance scam, you need to pay taxes or courier fees, or bank fees or they will send you a check to deposit and wire balance or amount to cover fees and of course the check will bounce after you wired the money. Regardless a very typical basic Nigerian scam.


Return email is actually: michaeil@yahoo.co.uk

=====================

Dear Partner,

I wish to intimate you with a request that would be of immense Benefit to both of us. Being an executor of wills, Codicil and Administration of Estate, it is possible that we may be tempted to make fortune out of our client's situations when we cannot help it, or left with no better option.

I am Real Estate | Probate Lawyer Mike Foxx, Courthouse Chambers, Cork, Ireland. The issue I am presenting to you is a case of my client Denny Colin
(M) (an Irish and also Australia National by birth) a consultant/contractor with Gulf Maritime General Trading & contracting Company) who WILLED a fortune to his next-of-kin.

It was most unfortunate that he and his next-of-kin Denny Sawitree (F)died on the same day in the One-Two-Go Orient-Thai Airlines flight OG269 Phuket Airport plane crash of Monday,17th September 2007 from Bangkok to Phuket, a Thai island resort.

For more information see full Passenger' Manifest:

http://angkor.com/2bangkok/2bangkok/forum/showthread.php?t=2764&page=3 (dead forum)

I am now faced with the Task of who to pass the fortune to. According to the Irish law, the fortune is supposed to be bequeathed to the Government.However, I don't belong to that school of thought which proposes that the fortune of unlucky people be given to the Government. My client made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at (7, 500,000.00) Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling for twelve (12) calendar months with Ulster Bank Ltd, Ballincollig Cork, Ireland.

Upon maturity, the bank sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. As the legal representative, It is my legal duty to inform Ulster Bank Ltd about the sudden death of my client and to present the Next of Kin in accordance with the Irish Probate and Inheritance laws.This sum of 7,500,000.00 Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling is in the Bank right now and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.In accordance with the Irish Law on probate and Inheritance, at the expiration of4 (four) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Irish Government, if nobody applies as the Next of kin to Claim the fund.

Consequently, I shall present you to stand as the next of kin to my Late Client so that you and I can benefit from the fruit of this old man's labour to enhance Humanitarian Organization World wide.

For now, I alone know about his last will/Testament, as my client has great confident in me. Everything will be left between you and I. The share would be 50% for you and 50% for me. All I have to Do is to amend the Last will/Testament of my late client to make you the beneficiary (next of Kin) to the claim of the Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling legally.

As I am not very sure of getting your consent on the issue, I prefer not to divulge my full identity so as not to risk being disbarred. The Irish Bar considers it a breach of the oath of the Irish Bar. I need not emphasize to you that the sensitivity of this issue need not be toyed with by neglecting its confidentiality.Due to the risk involve and also the activities of fraudsters now rampant on the Internet, and until I am sure of your consent, full co-operation and genuine willingness to assist me for our mutual benefit, I would prefer that we maintain correspondence by email.

Upon acceptance, I shall send to you a copy of the probate and Inheritance return information form and the detailed Information on how this business would be successfully transacted.At this point I want to assure you that your true consent, full co-operation and confidentiality are all that are required for us to take full advantage of this great opportunity.

Do send your full names, address, and Private telephone & fax numbers for easy communication. Please note that You can also reach me at:mikefoxx1350@gmail.com

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours truly,
Barrister Mike Foxx

POSITION: REPRESENTATIVE MANAGER

Thank you for your interest in the Representative Manager position. We are
currently seeking highly interested individuals for this position Nationwide –
USA. This is a part-time/full time position with excellent opportunities.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

A Representative Manager is a full-time/part-time position, demands 2-4 hours per day and
mostly home-based position. This position requires you to work closely with
Senior Manager, or other management staff to provide executive support in
processing banking transactions to complete client’s payments and
transactions. This is mainly accomplished by banking in the branch – banking
by phone and online is sometimes an option. With branches across USA and one of
the largest banking networks in the world, you will always have quick and
convenient access to your accounts and wide array of banking services.

A Representative Manager needs executive skills to carry out the daily banking functions. Senior Managers
rely on the Representative Managers to make the best of their time by dealing
with bank branch and money transfer services, secretarial and administrative
tasks – integrity is a trait that is highly valued within the company.

In Branch Services:

Open a new account to receive and process transfers into the account from
clients. Every week our Managers will contact you in the case that our USA
client has no ability to send payment to one of our offices - you should send money from your branch.

Withdraw the amount needed to send to the client from the bank branch, and send
the funds to client using a traditional transfer system (Western Union, Money
Gram, Online transfer options, and other options available). After transfer is
completed, email Senior Manager the transfer details given in the transaction
within the given time period allowed in the email.

JOB OFFER:

This position is based on a salary and commission bonus structure. The commission is 8 percents
or every transaction completed on a daily basis (transfers etc), and the weekly salary is 1000 USD weekly.

Weekly Salary Example: [2000 USD received in bank account from client]
subtract 8 commission [160 USD] – therefore, and send 1840 to client as requested
in email from Manager. 3 transfers per week=480 USD commission + 1000 salary per week.

The Weekly commission ranges from [500-3000] for a typical Representative Manager.
The salary of 1000 USD weekly is in addition to the commission received, and
will be processed by direct deposit into your bank account provided to the Senior Manager.

Miner Solutions rule is providing one client’s payment for one account per day – this allows us to be free of additional taxes.


-Working hours are generally from [9:00 AM – 12:00 AM], 2-4 days per week,
with flexibility possible is coordinated with management. Longer hours may be
required, depending on current deadlines and workload.

carry out transactions on a daily basis. The Email account should be checked
regularly in the time frame that is assigned to work within the week.
-A Bank Account is required, to complete the Representative Manager’s

choice.

CAPT.JAMES WILLIAM = OAU (compensation for African Fraud Victims) = Scam

Totally a fake / fraud / scam email, that will cost you money in order to receive (not receive) a bogus check. There are two ways this fraud works, either you need to wire money up front for processing fees or costs, or they will forward you a cashiers check for you to deposit and wire the taxes / fees to another party and once this is done you will get the principle balance, but of course the 1st check is fake and you will owe your bank back the balance.

So many things wrong with the email not counting the typo FRAUDLENT which is silly on it's own as this email is to help you resolve fraudulent activities. The fact they are attaching the Microsoft name to the project, the fact numerous emails are all over the world and free accounts, plus AOL?

This whole thing is a mess!

JAMES GAVIN & ASSOCIATES - Nigerian Scam - Inheritance

Why a fake

1. Someone you don't know, never heard of, lives overseas leaves you millions of dollars for no reason.
2. Email sent to "Undisclosed Recipients"
3. Sender said they tried to contact you via direct mail, but they don't know your name, address, phone or any info.
4. Email comes from Michael Pinder, but wants you to reply to James Gavin
   
5. Huge attorney firm wants you to reply to a hotmail account "james_gavinchamber@hotmail.com" and not the company's actual email.
   
6. Email actually comes from michael.pender@fai.ie
   

Typical email money scam either phising for detailed info like bank info, or will send a check and want funds wired or you must pay fees upfront before receiving a check.

Bogo International Company / Reshipper Scam

As the economy drags and people need work they can easily fall for scams such as this one. Seems so easy to work at home, but this scam comes with a price, a chance knock by the FBI at your door as you are committing / assisting with Credit Card fraud.

The victim (you) must fill out an employment application that asks for Social Security number and date of birth. Then the victim is told he got the job.

Packages arrive at the victim's home. He is told to repackage the items and ship them overseas, using his own money which will be repaid. Unbeknown to the victim, the packages he's receiving were paid for with fraudulent credit cards.

At stage two of the scam, the victim is told he will be paid by cashier's check. But there's a catch. The check will be written for more than the amount the victim is owed. The victim is told to deposit the check and forward the difference to his employer's overseas bank account. Eventually, the victim's bank informs him that the cashier's check bounced -- and he owes the bank the amount of the check.

At stage three, the victim realizes it's a scam and thinks the ordeal is over -- but it's not. The fraudulent employer has the victim's birth date and SSN. He has applied for several credit cards in the victim's name and has been using them to buy merchandise that is being shipped to other unknowing victims of the scam.

Mystery Shopper / Secret Shopper Scam - Fake / Fraud.

Someone who answers a mystery shopper ad is sent an employment packet typically containing a variety of items, including a training assignment and a cashier's check made out for a largish amount, typically a few thousand dollars. The assignment explains that the "shopper" is to pose as an ordinary bank customer (either at a particular named bank or his own), cash the check there, then wire the funds he receives from the teller to an address that has been supplied in the information package. The "shopper" will also typically be told it is imperative he complete the task within two days, or else he will not be paid for his work or hired again.

The pressure put upon him to get the check cashed and the monies from it shipped off within two days works to keep him from discovering that the check he was given was counterfeit. Once this information comes to light (as it eventually does), our hapless "mystery shopper" is left on the hook with the bank for the value of the rubber check. As to how a cashier's check can bounce, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) requires banks to make money from cashier's, certified, or teller's checks available in one to five days. Consequently, funds from checks that might not be good are often released into payees' accounts or handed to them in cash long before the checks have been honored by their issuing banks. High quality forgeries can be bounced back and forth between banks for weeks before anyone catches on to their being worthless, by which time victims have long since turned over the monies the bank gave them to the con artists who have just taken them for a ride.

In a common version of this scam, the unsuspecting dupe is supplied with a money order bearing a face value of between $2,800 and $3,300 and told to use it at a Wal-Mart to purchase a MoneyGram for the amount of the check less the cost of the wire transfer and the $100 or $200 the mystery shopper is to keep as payment for his services. The wired amount is to be sent to a person in Canada that the sender is to claim is his relative.

A more potent form of the con game is an updated version of the "reshipper" scam. As in the original, the pigeon receives a worthless check from the scam artist, cashes it with a financial institution (in this instance, a money transfer company akin to Western Union), keeps a small portion for himself, and sends the remainder to the crossroader running the con. And as in the original, once the certified or cashier's check bounces, the person cashing it becomes liable for the amount the bank or check-cashing agency is out. The differences lies in the backstory presented to the victim: In the original he is led to believe he has been hired by an overseas firm to facilitate the processing of payments from its U.S. customers, but in the "secret shopper" version he is told he has been hired as a "mystery shopper" and that his first assignment is to test the MoneyGram system to determine how well it performs and how courteously its customers are treated. Although the set-up is different, the underlying scam is the same.

Thank you for your interest in the Mystery Shopper position.
Our company conducts surveys and evaluates other companies in order to help them achieve their performance goals.
We offer an integrated suite of business solutions that enables corporations to achieve tangible results in the marketplace.

We get hired by other companies and act like customers to find out how they are handling their services in relation to their customers.

Mystery Shopping is the most accurate and reliable tool a business can use to gather information regarding their actual customer service performance at the moment of truth. This moment of truth is not when the staff is on their best behavior because the boss is around - it is when they interact with customers during their normal daily routines.

This is where you, the Mystery Shopper, come in. You pose as an ordinary customer and provide feedback of both factual observations (ex...the floor was free of debris) and your own opinions (ex...I felt that the temperature in the establishment was too cold).

Mystery Shoppers must remain anonymous. You must act as a regular customer and be careful not to do anything that would reveal you as a shopper. An inexperienced shopper could tip off the staff to his/her identity by asking for the manager's name for no clear or appropriate reason. If you are going to be bringing someone with you on the shop, make sure you educate them about the process as well. Beware that even whispers can be overheard by employees. If anyone notices you are a shopper, you can bet that word will quickly spread around the establishment and you will get some of the best customer service in town.

No company can afford to have a gap between the promise of quality and its actual delivery, that's why leading corporations look to us, the nation's premiere mystery shopping and customer experience measurement company.

In order for a business to effectively compete in today's economy, they must be prepared to meet the challenge of increasing sales by:
* Retaining existing customers
* Acquiring new customers
* Creating word-of-mouth advocacy
* Improving customer loyalty
Once we have a contract to do so, you would be directed to the company or outlet, and you would be given the funds you need to do the job(either purchase merchandise or require services), after which you would write a detailed report of your experience.
Examples of details you would forward to us are:
1) How long does it take to get served.
2) Politeness of the attendant.
3) Customer service professionalism.
4) Sometimes you might be required to upset the attendant, to see how they deal with difficult clients.
Then we turn the information over to the company executives and they will carry out their own duties in improving their services.

Most companies employ our assistance when people complain about their services, or when they feel there is a need for them to improve upon their customer service.

Our company partners with you to implement proven mystery shop auditing and surveying strategies that provide critical information about customer experiences.

You will be paid a commission of $100 for every duty you carry out, and bonus on your transportation allowance.

Your task will be to evaluate and comment on customer service in a wide variety of restaurants, retail stores, casinos, shopping malls, banks and hotels in your area.

Qualities of a good Mystery Shopper:
* Is 21 years of age or older
* Loves to go shopping
* Is fair and objective
* Is ON TIME
* Is very observant and able to focus on details
* Is fairly intelligent
* Has patience
* Is detail oriented
* Is practical
* Types well
* Is trustworthy
* Explains well in writing
* Is discreet
* Loves to learn
* Handles deadlines
* Has full internet access (at home or at work) Mystery Shopping is fun and exciting but also must be approached very seriously and is definitely not for everyone.
