Scam to lure jobseekers into cheque/Western Union fraud!!!
I have just in the last few days been scammed by a company called UNION LTD with a fancy website with the domain http://www.unionltd-uk.com. This is the latest scam now making the rounds. The steps is simple, once you are signed up on Jobsite or other jobs/vacancies site you are sent an email that you have been selected for the next round of interviews and short listing. You are directed to the website where you are required to input your details. Everything looks so legitimate and you get an email from a Christopher Dryer welcoming you to the company reputed to be dealing in Art works. This is backed up by a phone call from a Grace Hightower who calls to reassure you that all is legitimate and you should be ready for your assignments. You are told to log into your company Task Manager between 9.00am to 11.00am regularly to access your tasks. Finally a certain amount is deposited in your account and you are told to remit it via western union/money gram. The scam is you won’t even get the chance to access any money as this is lodged into your account and almost immediately transferred out. Then you get your account overdrawn to the amount, your bank account suspended and your card seized. You have just been used as a mule for money laundering. Then the problem begins with your bank and a large debt claim. Please be WARNED!!!
