Hello,

I have also been scammed by "Corp Travel LTD" (https://thecorptravel.com/vacancy.php), what before "used to be" BS Travel. The object is about travel manager for business class travelers with the future salary of 4000$ + bonuses.
The thing what I am concerned about is about stolen ID data, given bank account number, my name and address of residence.
The stolen data, your opinion, what can be useful for for the scammers?

Thank you for answer,

- Aida

I wish it were hello under happier circumstances aidagrn. First of all, don't panic. It's unlikely the scammer will use your personal info for anything un-toward. The reason it's asked for is to make the scam activity seem more believable, at the time. With your banking details, may I suggest you contact said bank, explain the situation and raise your concerns. They can give the best advice and steer you in the right direction.
Once the scammer/s realise you are not an easy target, they will leave you alone. However you will need to be on the lookout for future scam attempts from the same scammer using a different name or email address.
You don't have too much to be concerned about, is the good news.

Thank you for the reply. Better news at the end :)
I was more worried when they called me yesterday, with cold voice saying that I NEED to do it right NOW (transfer of the funds to unknown person,- urgent task, with payment after of $50). And after continued to email me, but I think they understood that have been suspected, yet funny and pity that so many people get into really much serious problems.
The fact that job offer gave company's address in Montreal I got into trap. Mistake of not checking it before.
Thank you once again, I am more quiet now and hope this information will be useful for other victims.

And that is another scammer tactic, whereby the target gets rushed into doing things. The fraudulant people are ringing and trying to hustle you into sending funds quickly without you thinking about it first. That would apply to if they think they have been suspected because intimidation does work for them in some instances.
Also if you are concerned the scammer knows your phone number, perhaps ring your phone provider. They may be able to block certain phone numbers calling you.

I really want to thank you for information. No more calls from them, I also changed bank account for security, contacted the Consulate of my country here in Canada.
Happy ending thanks a lot.. Just funny now how they think they can use to push people to make various transfers by using the cold voice and higher tone.. and the emails like this :


Good day,

Did you send the transfer?
