Taylor Capital Corporation

Guys,

You are right to be wary!

Do NOT send this company your details!!

I sent my details because I was in need of a job/money and always fancied getting into forex trading. I received the exact same correspondence as above. This morning I started my "training".

I received two transactions into my current account of £498.95 and £389.65. I was then instructed to withdraw this money and send on to next trainee member via Western Union, or Money Gram. I enquired about doing this online, however they dismissed this and said it MUST be done in store. This flagged another warning signal to me.

So, I went to the bank and spoke to the manager regarding this and fortunately it had already been flagged by the specialist security team at the bank and my account was frozen and it was under investigation.

Basically, what they are doing is stealing money from someones account and depositing it in your account, then instructing you to transfer the money to them via WU, or MG so that its no longer traceable and you are the one that is accountable!

Tricky bastards! Sending the bank ALL the info and correspondence I have from them..Hope they get caught!

Please also post the emails here, with headers. If there's a website or domain being used for this fraud, it needs to be killed, and we need the emails as evidence to kill it. Also, the next possible victim may search for the new company or website name; if you post it here, they'll find it.

it is a scam. They don't take your money, but use you to transfer illegal money, once you have transferred the money you will never hear from them again. Your bank will find out and most likely close your bank account, so stay well clear of anything that sounds like this as they do use different names from time to time.

I think they just use this girls name, but lets disclose it, it's Gloria D. Hawkins

the phone no. some girl used to call me, as a training manager, or something like that, was: +442032860966

I did not answer the managers call, they did not transfer the money to me, and my bank account was not suspended and frozen. Thanks to this forum

Thank GOD, it is the first day I supposed to receive money, but did not receive and the GIRL told me wait till tomorrow. That made me curious and I searched the web with all the possible key words including the telephone number - Guess what? the telephone number brought me to this site.

Straight away I have called and left a message to them saying do not send money and told them that they are scammers. On top of that called them again and spoke to the GIrl and told her not to send me money as they are scammers. Further I have send emails, warning not send money. I hope I am out of it - but the girl told me they have instructed to send money - I guess that is there usual BS.

Please someone advise me what to do? Should I wait and forget about it or should I inform any authority? I guess I am doing right thing by letting this community know that they are still out there.

Welcome quickandsmart!

It sounds as if you did give your bank account information to the scammers.
At this point, the most important thing to do is to contact the fraud department of your bank, and alert them to what has happened. They may want to see the emails from the thieves, so make sure you save them. The bank may be able to block the incoming transactions, preventing future headaches, or they may even want to change your account number. Since you have not participated in the scheme, you have done nothing wrong, you are just being proactive.

Crowther is dead.

Hello all,
I wish I found this page before I sent my details off, normally I would be suspicious but seeing as I have applied for a lot of jobs. The same people or copycats are now operating under the name of http://www.ortonfinance.com . Please be weary of dealing with them. The serious fraud office have been contacted. Thank you all and good luck

Hello kr01 and thnaks for posting.

Please post the email with the header. The email information is need so the site can be taken down.

Edit to add additional site with the same content.

This company has now changed. It's currently calling itself Watkins Capital Group.
Unfortunately, not being able to find anything scam related under the company name, I thought it was legit so I signed the contract and gave them my bank details. I've contacted my bank who informs me that they cannot withdraw anything from my account with only the sort code and account number. They require my card number for this, which is entirely different. I'm still worried though.

Thanks for the header! Could you post the body? Also post the headers and body of the email you sent to Watkins, to which the above is the reply. Please remove your own name and address; you don't need to post the attachment.

My girl received an email from Laura M. Turner from the HR Department of Watkins Capital Group.

Anyway, It will be going no further and no info will be sent

Thanks all
