Company Representative scams, Payment Processing scams and other Employment scams.

Hi Lucky, welcome to Scamwarners.

it appears that this "Laura Jenkins" has either changed her name to Sandra Molins, or there are more than one of these scammers behind ELM.


Either of these options could be correct but my money is on the first option ;)
There really is no way to know for sure which it is but the main point remains, its a scammer.

This is a scam and not money laundering, the only real money involved is the victims so it is definately a scam.

You will be required to cash cheques and forward on your money (most likely by Western Union) the cheques / money orders you receive will be fake or drawn on a compromised bank account and will be of sufficient quality to get past the bank's initial clearance, once this happens, most people believe that is proof the cheque is good but sadly that is not the case, the initial clearance is referred to as "provisional Clearance" and is granted after a 5 day period in most cases. provisional clearance will allow you to draw money on the cheque but it does not mean the cheque is good, that comes later and it could be months later when they finally realise that the check is no good, when this happens the person who cashed the cheque will be liable for it and the transaction will be reversed, in some cases the police may also be involved and may prosecute the victim for depositing a fake financial instrument

Hi Tan, welcome to Scamwarners.

I am happy to hear that you spotted the scam and managed to avoid it, well done.

If you do happen to get a reply please post it here but for your own safety please do not send them any further emails, it is not wise to deliberately waste the time of a criminal who knows anything real about you.

You seem to understand what the scammers are up to but if you have any questions please ask

Hello rach86,

Yes, it is possible that someone (perhaps a victim of another scam) sent some money obtained by fraud into your bank account - and this was then reported.

As you do not have the emails the scammer sent you, I suggest that you make an appointment to see a solicitor as soon as possible, and ask her or him for advice. If you are in the UK and on a low income, you may be eligible for legal aid, and not have to pay for the solicitor's advice. You can ask at your local Citizen's Advice Bureau for a list of solicitors in your area offering legal aid. But please seek this advice as soon as possible.

I replied saying I was in full time work but yesterday they still sent me email below with agreement attached, asking for all bank details. Thought it sounded suspicious as salary was so good for 3 hours work and also thought it was strange as i'd already said i couldnt take the job, looked online and luckily found all your posts, so pleased I realised this was a scam before sending them.

Looks like they've changed the name to Sandra Molins and also it's from elmcareer.com now rather than elm-job.com

Received this, email address looked somewhat dodgy to say the least.

Search for ELM obviously returned too many hits, email addresses came up blank on Google, but "Position Available ID" returned your site among others.

Thought I'd post so others who get the email can find sender here first:

Position available id(7070)?

Hello,
I received the same scam just this morning, I wonder why they do this, do they want our bank account numbers? Do they think people are stupid ? I received a first email requesting my short Cv yesterday, I sent it because I really did apply to many job website where my cv is actually searchble, even without personal details. This morning I found this email by Sandra Molins.I wish they could stop these people.

Thanks to your forum !

Hi.
The want you to send them money via Western Union for work permits etc. Some people do fall for this scam. Not because they are stupid, but because they don't understand the formalities needed to get employment abroad.

Hi Guys,
Frist all I would like to thank you for saving me from being scammed the frist time around by this dodgy shit of a company called elm....

In return for you all helping me out, i thought i should let you know that they some how got hold of my new email address and are now acting under the email address:Gray Mcleod ([email protected]

Hi retrotina,

I'm glad to hear you found us before you lost anything. Thanks for posting the new adress. I do want to ask you though to not send those type of mails (refer them to this place, prove that they're wrong) back to them. We don't want scammers to learn, you see. If he comes here, finds this thread and reads how many people have been informed by it he'll quickly change data and his scripts to avoid being found again. So please, if you ever do encounter scammers again, don't even bother to reply. It's in everyone's best interest that they stay uninformed :)
