Welcome to Scamwarners. I'm glad you spotted it for what it is.

plus 8% commission from each transaction fascilitated.

The transaction will be banking a fake check and sending most of the proceeds to the scammer by Western Union. These scams make the totally false claim that it is so hard for foreign customers to pay for your products that it is worthwhile employing local agents to take the payment. Complete nonsense of course.

Welcome to ScamWarners igb. While it is intriguing to want to see what the scammer is up to, but we recommend that once you deternine that you are dealing with a scammer, you just drop all contact and communication with the scammer. In most cases, they have your real information and email address.

Staying in contact will do no good. The scammer will continue to ply you for money and you will remain vulnerable to being scammed. We want people to be safe on the internet.

I got this email this morning. "Sparks" was listed in the from column & is also in the salutation. It sounded too good to be true but, after doing a brief search, I found that there is a REAL staffing agency based in Washington, DC called "Sparks" so I thought this was possibly legitimate. I was half way through my response email when I got the overwhelming feeling that I should dig a little deeper & that's when I found this website. Looks like it's been a while since anyone reported on them - glad to make it known they're still pulling the same stunt.

Hello Verseau!

Glad you spotted the scam! Scammers often pretend to be legitimate companies in case someone casual searches about then as you initially did. Luckily you dug a little deeper. One of the dead giveaways is the scammer pretends to be the company but instead of using a domain names email address like @sparks.com he's using a free email account ie gmail, hotmail, live etc.

Anytime something sounds too good to be true it always is so doing research is vital.
