I feel like such an idiot because I filled out the forms with my personal information including house address, phone number, and bank details. I sell online and rationalise that they can only make a deposit with the little bank info I provided but it turns out, with as little as that much information, someone could steal your identity and withdraw all your savings with a fake ID. Also, the attachments from the email included a fancy brochure or 'presentation' or whatever, which made it look somewhat professional but the other forms that required filling out had a fake signature and stamp from some director name Dylan Hobson. The address is 1940 W Gray St, Houston, TX 77019 and if you look it up in Google maps you see nothing related to OLT (the company that they claim to represent) and start to question whether it exists at all.

After filling out the forms, this is what 'Audrey' replied:

Now I was getting a bit too hopeful and my boyfriend who is oh-so-smart and rational thinking told me his thoughts: it was a scam. The words that I definitely did not want to hear and denied from the beginning but wanted to still trust people out of the desperation of unemployment. So I did have a strange telephone interview with a girl who was very unenthusiastic and sounded dead (maybe her soul is dead because you must be, working for 'them'). She seemed to ask me very general interview questions, which I answered to the best of my ability - thinking back how dumb I must have looked. I wish I could turn back time and slap my old self to reality. Funny thing is, before I stumbled across this forum after doing some intensive research, I remembered back to the phone conversation when the girl mistakenly asked me 'So, you're talking to Wendy via email?'. OK, so that's the deal guys. And no, I have not heard from them ever since but if I do, it will probably be something to do with taking part in their money laundering scheme. All I have to say is that when applying for jobs, stay safe - ALWAYS get a second opinion from someone who you do trust and obviously never give out personal information over the internet. All the best!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More evidence that the scammer is Russian: he peppered the first email with Cyrillic look-alike letters.

Please post the email you sent to oltjob.com with the filled-out forms (you don't have to post the forms), with complete headers, and the reply (the one offering you the job), with complete headers. Omit your name and email address. oltjob.com is email-only, so we need the headers to kill it.

Hi guys....just found this site and thread, thank god !

I have been dealing with "Audrey Blake" the last week. I thought I would play the game for a while as the info etc provided did look genuine, and I trust myself to be careful. I think I might just got as far as anyone else before pulling the plug.

I completed the form and sent it back. I used a bank account with no money in it (no way would I give any other details). Looked OK till yesterday - a call from some foreign lady asking if I would be OK to start transfers - I said sure, send me the money and I will disperse as per your requirements - you are supposed to take out fees and a 5% commission. Promised myself to do nothing until the money appeared in my account.

Onto this morning - an email from "Audrey" saying $2850 would be sent to my account immediately and the details for the transfer. Still OK - let's wait for the money, but alarm bells were starting to ring - surely if they have just made the transfer I won't see it in my account till tomorrow?

Now the fun part - I received a call from a guy in the Ukraine purporting to be the client asking if the money was in my account and to enjoy my "little bonus". Odd as the trial agreement says clients will not contact you in the first three weeks.

Half an hour later he calls again - no, no money in the account. The killer line....."send Audrey a print screen of your accounts" !!! And that has nailed it stone dead - no way would I send any account details to anyone.

Another email from Audrey - check your account at 10.30 and let us know. I know the next step will be that the client is getting worried, please send the money from your account and we'll pay you back !

I am about to send a reply now that I was not to receive contact from a client in first three weeks, I have concern that they do not know that transfers to Australian bank accounts online are not instantaneous and that they requested a print screen of my bank details. Thirdly that Audrey Blake AKA Wendy Norton and the caller appear to be the same person. Finally I will advise that I have closed the bank account in question immediately and reported the company to the AFP.

A close call.....be very aware !

Thank you for posting here . Your post will help warn other potential victims . Could you please post any email addresses or websites that the scammers are using ?

Never thought id say this but i have to admit, all those nights watching ACA whilst feeding my lil one has paid off....

i just recently have been wanting to get back into the job scene after 5 years raising my son on my own and put up a job profile on jobseekers dot com dot au and on careers dot com dot au last month. i got a reply straight away via email for a job i never applied for but in response to my profile, and even though i did get a lil excited about the opportunities that were described i thought to myself its too good to be true and so when i read the email, all those pajama filled nights with Tracy Grimshaw came flooding back and instantly i thought "this has to be a scam".

So i got on the good ol' trusty computer and asked my mate "The Goooog" since we all know "The Goooog" always has the answers, and searched for OLT major global goods distributors and low n behold knowing that "The Goooog" always leaves tags everywhere, your website come up and i thought to myself that i must post up this email i received and email address that it was sent from, not only to see if i could help in stopping these parasites as any information helps but more to warn others of just how low and despicable the malice acts that they perform can come so easily to them.

Preying on the ones most in need and desperate by offering what seems not to far fetched and over the top job, that really, if it were a real job, i know most people would think "hey i can do that!" and they don't even blink an eyelid...? Like c'mon honestly? Have they no integrity? No empathy for what they know they will cause?

So anyway just wanted to show some gratitude for your website and to the original TG from ACA for not only making me aware of the scum out there but for enabling me to relax at night as she used to put my son to sleep hahaha soooooo early pj nights thanks Trace....

Thank you to this site and all those that posted about this.

Some people just so lazy to work and has to live their days scamming others. Same thing happened to me, what a waste of my time. Thank you so much for posting your experiences. You have done well.
