hayden_blake | Has anyone had any bad dealings with a company called CIT CREDIT PTY LTD? |
I was wondering if anyone has ever had any problems with a company called CIT CREDIT PTY LTD.
As i am about to work for this company as aN Exchange Manager, which involves receiving funds into my bank account and then transfering it into other clients accounts off-shore.
I am a little worried as i do not want to be involved in anything to do with money laundering.
I found the job on Seek, which is an on line job search site.
If anyone has had any bad experiences with this company or has been a victim of foul play, could you please let me know.
I would be most appreciative.
THANK YOU

Hi Everyone,
Thanks heaps for your answers, it's sounds like we are all in the same boat, i have also tried to find out more about this company, i did what Tom did, i opened a new bank account yesterday and i received an email stating i would get a phone call at 9.00am, it's now 10.15am and still haven't heard anything, like alot of you, i still thing its a scam but i really want to find out more.
I looked on ACCC and i searched there ABN and they are a registed business, also they seem to be a finance company for Honda Aust and Dell, but apart from that i haven't found out anymore, here's hoping Tom might have some more answers for us all.
I will extend this Question Time so you are all free to add more info if you find out more.
Good Luck, and keep me posted!! |

Today I received the same emails & immediately I was interested. After receiving the second & third email, it did become apparent that it was one of those "To good to be true schemes", but I was still very interested in knowing more about it, mainly because the extra income would have been great. What puzzles me about the actual ABN number is that it doesn't come up as an active ABN number on the ABN Look Up Home page. The name of the company appears to be legit & yes the ABN number has previously been reported in the past, but for some reason, that number didn't turn up when I searched for it under the ABN number home page. So I decided to do some more surfing & came across this. Thank goodness for the internet that allows everyone to share important information, especially in cases like this. Thank you all for posting your questions & comments about this as it has definitely helpped me make up my mind. |

I am new to Australia and I had no clue that frauds like this could exist. Although it did sound too good to be true I still went ahead and got involved in it. I have already made 2 transactions with them and the bank contacted me in the morning and informed me that the transaction was fraudulent and that I need to pay them the money back. I can only hope that no one else will fall in to the trap that I fell in to. |

I got the same offer as you! As far as I know they say to be a transaction company, they will put money into our accounts and we have to take the money out as cash and change it to whatever currency they say, then put it into another account?
They will pay us 4 400 per month plus, health cover, UPS-Fedex free worldwide shipping, etc.
It sounds too good, just by 2 hours per day 4 days a week!
Upadate
So anyone knows how much money are gonna be dealing ? I mean, what the hell are you going to do if suddenly 2 000 000 dollars appears at your bank account... I will be terrified...! |

hi i`ve experienced the same scenario- anyway it's unbelievABLE... i showed my husband all emails from JAMES SALIVAN and my husband sent message to him last night pretends that i am the one asking for his company details like address, contact number and face to face interview working in the company and when we checked my email this morning JAMES SALIVAN never answered any of our questions instead he proposed me to sign an agreement form but we refused and my husband replied to JAMES like this;
``THIS IS ANne HUSBAND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THE PROGRESS OF WHAT YOU ARE OFFERING MY WIFE I REPLIED LAST NIGHT FOR A FACE TO FACE MEETING WITH YOU AND YOUR COMPANY YOU HAVE FAILED TO DO THIS AND ANSWER THOSE CONDITIONS YOU JUST WANT BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS YOU SOUND LIKE A GUTLESS OPERATOR THAT HIDES BEHIND A COMPUTER AND LOOK FOR VICTIMS I HAVE ALREADY REPORTED YOU AND SO HAVE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE GET A REAL JOB YOUR NAME IS LISTED ON GOOGLE SEARCH AND OTHER SITES WITH PEOPLE YOU ARE TRYING TO GET THEIR ACCOUNT NUMBERS FROM. ..WHENEVER I DO BANK TRANSACTIONS I JUST DEPOSIT IT INTO THEIR ACCOUNT WHY WOULD WE BOTHER WITH YOUR METHOD FIND A REAL SCAM ********
-no reply yet from james salivan but we're still waiting... he's probably worried/scared by now
LET`S MAKE IT ALL FOR ONE |

Hey guys,
I received the same email about a week ago but lucky for me i do everything late. Ok....so James Salivan is definitely the cause of all this. I received an email from him and it seemed proper. The agreement form required a signature and it said e-mail signatures are as effective as if orginals...that is so suss. Usually the company will call you for an interview before they get you to sign anything. So back to beginning....he sent me an agreement asking all my personal details last week. And then i sent him one back asking whether i'd be working from home or from an office...i didn't get a reply. I printed off the agreement and read it only a few days ago and reread it. Yes, it did sound too good to be true...like medical and dental coverage...free shipping....guaranteed $4400 monthly....most emplyers don't discuss money until you actually have the job. So yea only today i went and opened up a new bank account....there was no way i would give my actual account. I like to trust people but i am not stupid. I sent my application form in and thank GOD it said delivery failure...i tried several times. So i just had to do my search. And i came across you guys. The idea of fraud never came to mind as i have never been a vicitm of any fraudulent activity. But i was sus to begin with. I googled Cit Credit Pty Ltd and the company shows up in Accc's website. I tried finding James Salivan...and obviously no such thing showed up. I tried googling him in every other website. And like the previous emails....someone had already contacted the company. I will contact the company again and keep you guys posted. I will also close my account even though James doesn't have my banking details. As someone said before ...it is already hard enough finding a job and to make it worse you have idiots like James trying to scam people. It looks like James has done a fair bit of research. I have studied law and the agreement seemed a little bit believable as he added all the sections and provisions. I already have 2 jobs and this would've been my third. So this is for those of you that are still looking. Read everything before you sign it. And NEVER EVER EVER sign anything over the net EVER unless you are 110% sure that there is no other way of signing such agreement and that you are not signing into fraud. Every single company will call you in for an interview before they get you to sign anything. Also remember that no company discusses their payments so broadly and company's don't usually say anything about monthly payments they'd either tell you what you get per hr/fortnightly/annually....this is by far what i have experienced...i will try to do something about this so other people will not be victims of this kind of fraud. Good luck to all of you job seekers. Remember what i said....PLEASE read everything before you sign it even if it takes 2 days to read the agreement. Oh and one more thing reciepts are really important. PLEASE ask for a receipt for any payments you make (especially for those of you that have credit cards) and keep it. It is really important and believe me it's helpful. |

surely this is a scam why would the likes of james be contacting me when it states on my resume concretor bobcat and excavator operator.do any of you guys think ihave been offered a job like this.too good to be true,more trouble than it is worth,he must think were all tools but i think you will find he is.good luck if you have taken position |

He called me on Friday and sent me an amount of money. I withdrew the money as he said to do and sent it to someone via Western Union. I have not been paid for my work. Anyone else have similar stories? About the last message, did you contact CIT? Did they say themselves that he's a fraud? Please respond asap. If he is a fraud, I should have kept the money he asked me to transfer lol.
**************************************...
Hayden, thanks to people like you suckers like me get out of this quickly. I got sucked in last week with this James Salivan guy. I feel your pain, its hard enough finding a job without these pricks doin this. I wonder if mycareer is as bad as seek? Again, thanks for posting this question Hayden. However, I don't understand why the bank asked the other person to pay the money back. Banks have insurance. They're just as bad as these ****** pricks!!!!! I'm going to the bank now to cancel my account. Wish me luck!!! |

Hey guys!!
Yeah I got one as well - I was just about to email this guy back until I googled his name and it lead me to this site where I found all you guys that have had the same email etc. I gave the company a call and they told me that the federal police are involved and are working on catching him, by the sounds of they get alot of phone calls about this guy and his dodgy email everyday!! Im glad I found out this guy is not for real otherwise I could've been in a bit of trouble with money laundrying. Make sure you guys tell everyone about it so there's no one else thats gunna be scammed. |

Hey,
I also got same offer.It sound's good.However If I go to bank everyday and withdraw money and transfer every day to otherplace ,would not be big questions to bank people.They may ask from where money comes? Where do you take money?We would not be able to answer those questions and we would be in trouble.
I have checked this compaby in google search I found ABN no which they are using of HONDA campany of Sydney.I am trying to correspond to them.I think it's fraud.Please never believe to them and do not give your bank detail.In Agreement it was written "AS per Law of USA" which I could not understand. |

Hello, I also was emailed by James saying he had found my resume on Seek. A job I applied for that I immediatley thought of when I received his email read as fellows -
Business Capital Financial Group
Customer Service - $61 per hour
We are now seeking an experienced Customer Service to work close to home.
Salary Package: $61 p/hr plus Super
For more information "Apply Now"
Just out of interest is this something we have in common apart from being job seekers??
How did you get on Tom?? Were there funds in your new bank account today, for your first transactions??
Let us know. |

It would be a scam using and legit company and ABN number. You need to remember that these scams are very well done. It is like the scams with Paypal and Ebay. Yes it is a real business and ABN number but it doesnt mean they own it. If it were real and you were offered that much money you would definately have a face to face interview, maybe a second interview etc. You know what its like to get jobs and this is why they are targeting the unemployed. DONT BOTHER. Has anyone contacted seek.com.au to ask whether this is legit employment? As they need to know if a scam is coming from their site. |

Hey,
I have also been contacted by this company, and I am also considering working for them, but like everyone has said this seems too good to be true.
Yes, there are lodgings with ACCC but the ABN that is at the end of my email is a proper ABN - I searched for it and it does come up under the name of CIT Credit, and they usually deal with Honda Finance, and DELL. So I'm not sure whether this would be worth it or not. I am going to wait to see what Tom says in regards to what he did when he received a phone call.
All I know is that if this isnt some cheap scam it would be nice to be able to get that money without having to bend over backwards!
UPDATED!!
I have just sent an enquiry to seek.com.au in regards to these adverts. I have checked to see whether the advert that I saw on seek.com.au was still there and it has been taken off. Also, when I saw this advert the company that was advertising it was the Australian United Corporation P/L, and even though my researching THIS company has been little, cos I have been more interested in the CIT CREDIT P/L, it seems to me that this company isn't a real company anyway.
Lets see if I get an actual email back from Seek.com.au. It looks like they have realised what has been going on though, and taken all their adverts off the system. |

Everybody DONT JUMP IN YET!. Just wait and see how TOM goes. Sounds like he has gotten further then any of us.
Soundz to good to be true if you ask me!
I know the POST OFFICE definitely wont be happy with people continually wanting to bank wire transfer funds ITS TIME CONSUMING! and the amounts being transferred will no doubt be questionable!!!
It definitely doesnt make sense to me WHY there is a need for the middle man-(PROCESSING MANAGER). Why doesnt the client pay whoever it is DIRECTLY INTO THE BANK ACCOUNT? ALSO WHAT IS THE CLIENT PAYING FOR?????
THIS DOESNT LOOK GOOD THINK ABOUT IT!!!
IF ALL GOES WRONG FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON YOU ARE THE ONE WHO RECIEVED SOMEONE ELSES FUNDS AND YOU THEN TOOK YOUR SHARE OUT OF IT-TO PAY YOURSELF AND PASSED THE REST ON TO THE COMPANY THAT YOU DONT EVEN KNOW!
I SUGGEST WE ALL ASK THIS COMPANY MORE AND MORE QUESTIONS!!!!!
THIS IS SUSS.....
Let us know how you all go
Thanks

Hey Everyone
I too received an email from James Salivan offereing me a spot in his company. I thought it was too good to be true and after looking for more info online I came across all of your answers in relation to it being a scam. I know now what my answer will be for the position offered. Say no more!
Thanks people and good luck with job hunting. |

Okay, like everyone else here I received this email and, as we have all figured out, it is a scam. My concern is that it seems this guy got our email addresses from the job applications we submitted for the United Corporations job. I don't know about you guys, but I am a bit concerned that this guy now has all my contact info and details of my work history from the resume I sent him.... |

My freind did his homework on THIS SCAM just in time!!!!
IT'S STOLLEN FUNDS !!
This is what happened.
Nearly got done. I had withdrawn the money from my bank acc. He (james) was extremely persistent with his phone calls, ie ringing me every 2mins. So i decided to ask a few questions & he never answered me, always change the subject. So i rang the AFP (police) and i was waiting on a return call from them. Then my banks fraud department rang me & informed me that they were stolen funds. So i was back at the bank within 2minutes giving back the money. 1hour later i walked out of the bank new account everything cleared up. Rang the accc & Geelong CIU. |

Hi,
I am Tom from Brisbane and I have also been contacted via Seek.com regarding this job, from guy called James Saliman. I enquired further with him and received more info and I also received a job application form which I completed, (I opened a new empty bank account. Wouldn't use my existing one). He phoned me within an hour of me completing the job application and said that he would contact me tomorrow morning at 9am with details of the first transaction.
I am just like everyone here and very dubious but I don't want to knock a good thing away just because it sounded too good. I would assume that lots of transactions through Western Union would create suspicion, especially if they are for large amounts, but I have decided to keep a list of questions to ask him when he calls me tomorrow morning and make my decision there.
I will keep you all updated.
Tom
P.S. if anyone has gone further than me with this, please let me know!

Hi guys,
I emailed this James guy with some questions regarding this job including his companies contact details, address, phone, website etc and awaited his phone call this morning but no joy I am afraid. No phone call this morning and it is now past 10am. Definitely a scam. He assume that he did not like the questions that I raised with him in the email so has stayed away from me.
"If it looks to be good to be true, then it most probably is", and once again that quote has proved correct.
Do not go near this guy and especially do not give him any bank details. I gave him an empty account which I will now close. If anyone knows how we can report this guy, then let me know.
Oh well, back to the real world!!
Good luck with everything gang.

I have also had this job sent to me. Unfortunately I believed this was legitimate due to the ABN number and PTY LTD. I am still awaiting a call and doubt I will get one. Has anyone contacted seek about this issue?? I have been advised to contact my bank and let them know what has happened. I suggest if anyone has been suckered the same way I have you do the same. I am so embarrassed I didn't research this further as I figured seek would be more responsible than to let fraudulent people use their services.
****UPDATE****
I have actually had a friend go through exactly what we went through, but when the money was deposited into his bank the bank called him and told him they have frozen the money because the company it came from is under investigation. Looks like they might b close to catching the guy. I also told seek and they sent me an e mail saying it wasn't their responsibility and they do have a how to spot illegitimate jobs page. Other than that they wanted nothing to do with the case, and offered no apology. To anyone who reads this while the money is in your account - I suggest you take the money out and close the account. That would b awesome. |

I am in Brisbane and I too have been contacted by James Salivan saying he "found" my resume on seek. I would like to know how they get your resume off seek when all I have done is apply for jobs on seek. I think it must be some company that have advertised under a certain name and not "Cit Credit Pty Ltd"
update
yes i agree it was advertised under Business Capital $61 an hour or maybe under a lot of different business names. How frightening, I have emailed seek too. |

Hi, I had the same deal with that company. Guy names James called me and I did what he told me to, transfer money to Russia. But now one of his colleage wants to meet me face to face, near my house. I am not sure I want to meet them. So i have send him a message that I can't work with them anymore. Its just too risky dealing with lots of money. So if any one of you has made any progress than let me know!
thanks |

I would not go near this company. Remember if it sounds to good to be true then you need to be very careful. They offer alot of money but it sounds very bad to me. I would never give my bank details to anyone or be involved with the entire situation.
ACCC have had papers lodged with regards to this company
I have looked further into this and you will probably find that it is a scam from Nigeria using ABN number and Company name. My advise, dont bother. It does not add up, and yes the banks will be VERY suspicious. Not worth the jail time. Sorry |
