Work at Home Job Scam

Scammers who don't get their way are often like angry children who have been thwarted in their plans to cause trouble! Instead of recognizing that they are the cause of the situation, or that they were doing something they shouldn't do, they assign blame to someone else (the target or victim). In their anger, some scammers can and do retaliate.

You may not be too concerned about scammer showing up on your doorstep, but he can still cause you some headaches. In their attempts to retaliate, scammers have been known to
-use a victim's name and even spoof their email address when spamming their scam emails, causing the victim/target to lose their email account (in one known case a scammer sent out a "hitman" format, and the person whose address he spoofed ended up being visited by the police!)
- pull new scams in the victim's name
-report the victim as a scammer to the dating site/social networking site/ employment site
- contact the vic's email provider, claiming the victim is a scammer and causing it to be shut down.
-use the victim's pictures and/or other information in a future scam.
-go all over the internet posting negative things about the victim, or again, reporting the victim as a scammer. Scammers regularly try to report their victims here--we identify and remove those posts, but not all sites will do that.
-use the victim's address as a return address for fake checks (another headache that has resulted in visits from the authorities)
-One scammer we dealt with even sent a nasty, incredibly vulgar email to his victim's employer, full of profanity and accusing her of a whole host of things. The message was so completely over the top (frankly it made the scammer look like a lunatic) that the employer didn't take the accusations seriously, but it still left the victim in a horribly awkward situation with her employer, and undoubtedly made the employer question her judgement for having anything to do with this scammer.

Since he has your real information, he could cause quite a headache for you personally and professionally. The more you play with him, the more likely he is willing to spend his time trying to get revenge.

Western Union and Money Gram payments can be picked up any where in the world. Some places do not require ID. Other places, the clerk can be bribed or the scammer will use a fake ID. Some case the reference number or control number is all that needed. Can you imagine a scammer sending this information to a victim.

Test question: What color
Answer: Blue

How would you explain this to your local Law Enforcement why you are receiving stolen money. Time off work and legal fees is not worth it.

Thank you for having this site.
I too have just been made a victim of Lynda Prisca. Unfortunately, I received the job offer from MiTalent.com, the web-site through State of Michigan, unemployment offices.

I have reported Lynda Prisca to them, through their web-site, but have not received a response.

My concern at this point is how much of my information does this Lynda Prisca now have? And worse yet, how much of my information did the State of Michigan supply her?

For Future Reference, Lynda Prisca is running a scam. DO NOT GIVE HER YOUR INFO. and if you receive notice from your State Agency, report it to them immediately.
