Welcome to ScamWarners njmsdadand thank you for posting this information. It will help keep someone else from getting scammed.

Oh yes, I received the same type of response via craigslist.com for Altech Computers home base in Australia stating that they were looking to train applicants for the company in the USA. They were looking for a remote location in my area, and once confirmed I would move to the location. I was told that I would be receiving a $2600 ck yesterday via FedEx, and I needed to deposit it into my checking account as email a snap shot or fax a copy of the deposit slip once received. I found it fishy that they would send me money to purchase equipment before my training had been completed. So when I contacted FEDEX since my package was returned, they said that I would have to contact the sender as it was intercepted. So when I looked up reasons for interception with FedEx, it became more clear to me that it was bogus. My task that was given to me today was to submit an article in my own words The best ways to prevent Overdue Accounts. Thats when this sight popped up. I am so glad that I didnt waste anymore time on something that wasnt going to pan out.
Just really makes me mad that these scammers are taking advantage of real people who are stuggling financially and working so hard to find work.

I got a similar offer with UK-based Advanced Computer Solutions. on day 2 of training today, I did write an article for the best ways to prevent overdue accounts. So far they have not been selling me anything or sending me checks. I plan to explore further with this within the week to see where this is going. On day 1, i was made to reconcile a bank statement! I've never done this in my entire life. Today, i got an email from Altech Computers offering me a similar position. Since I will be online anyway, I plan to fish more information. I will get back to you and give a more detailed report about their M.O.

There is no doubt that this is the same scam as all the others. They have been running the exact same scam for a long time now, using the same "reconcile a bank statement/write an article" tasks to make their targets think they are applying for a legitimate job.

Since the scammers presumably have your real life information, continuing to correspond with them is not recommended. We never recommend playing with (baiting) a scammer who has your real life information. You can visit our baiting site, 419eater.com for more information about safe baiting.
