Am I about to get scammed?
Someone has offered $300 per transaction to cash checks that would be mailed to me and wire the money, minus my fee, to them. They want nothing from me but my name, phone number, address, and email. I have given them nothing yet...... Should I? The company contacting me is in the UK.

There are many variations to this scam. Most likely what will happen is the checks will clear. You will send them some money. Then later, the checks will bounce. Checks can still bounce even after they have "cleared." The bank will tell you that you owe them money for the bounced check. You will complain saying: "But you said it had cleared." The bank will say too bad, when a check "clears" it does not mean it is good.

Below is one example of this type of scam.

Don't do it. Don't even acknowledge it anymore. This is exactly how I got scammed.

You shouldn't even need to ask. Good rule of thumb: if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

The company contacting you is probably NOT in the U.K. They could be just about anywhere but the majority of those letters are coming from Africa and Asia - mostly Nigeria, Gambia, Sierra Leone, and many more.

You will receive some sort of check or money order and deposit it in your account. You are then asked to forward the money to them deducting 10% for your services. You send them their money and 3 weeks later, you find out from your bank that the check they sent you has bounced or was some sort of fraudulent check so you're bank deducts the entire thing back out of your account.

You are out the money you sent them because YOUR check was good and they DON'T give it back. By the time you discover that you've been scammed, you've already paid them and they won't answer your emails, return calls, etc.

Yes, it's a scam.

This could be fraud, do you think someone will pay you this kind of money for simply cash out...... They are stealling credit cards and other things, and you are the one who are getting busted. Ask him to tell you his phone, address, full name and corroborate it. You will see how things will change.


gerrifriend
Yes of course it's a scam. Why would any reputable firm need to do that?


HAILUH
dont do it, i got those emails when i applied for part time jobs, its not real, i didnt trust it straight away i knew it was a scam ,


userafw
By the time you know the checks are bad, your money will be long gone with no way to get it back. Don't fall for it. It doesn't matter what country they are claiming to be from, its still a common scam, one warned about on ebay too.


Life's a beach
Forget the "uk" connection - they could be from any where and make it look like the "UK" because it seems more "viable"

I have 4 words for you

DO NOT TOUCH IT

I have heard about scams like this - I have seen it on the news where people have lost their money - and I have had several emails of a similar nature myself (except mine were from a Nigerian Business man)

Remember the golden rule -

- If it's too good to be true then it usually is -

Ignore the offer - delete all emails - do not give out your details - throw away all letters -

- once they get your details, whether you do what they ask or not - they will sell your details on to all the scammers in the World - I have seen it so many times.

Walk away while you can, Mate . . .

Sounds like a scam. If you received this offer by email I would definitely say its a scam. If you're unsure, google the company name to see if there are any reports. Most scams like this have pages warning others against them. If it sounds too good to be true it usually is. I wouldn't be sending my details and money to anyone.


KathyS
Of course it's a scam.
