Victoria Medical Centre - Financial Rep

Has anyone here been offered this position (Financial Rep) by this company? Here's some of the offer I just rec'd from a lady named Helen Lara:

JOB DESCRIPTION, TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Our problem occurred when we had to
receive the payments for what we've made, for our work. We cannot receive
the payment in a timely manner due to high delay with our based banks, check
clearance and other form of payment. As long as we need the money real fast
we have agreed and come with a solution. Our clients could pay us where we
want by sending checks to an US Address. What we need you to do is to
provide us an address where we can receive our customer checks. We asked for
feedback from our customers and they said this is safer and faster working
directly with their bank by sending checks. We need someone who can receive
the money through this method of payment. Regarding the check process all
you have to do is to receive the checks our customers will send to your
address, take them to your bank, cash them and send the remainder amount to
us. All fees for transferring money will be supported from our share.
Bonuses will apply for cashing checks in same day or within 24 hours. You
will always take your percentage upfront.

1. Receive payment from our customers. All check will be written in your
name. All checks are US checks, no international. You will receive all
checks via USPS (no signature required).
2. Cashing the checks at your existing bank account.
3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on each payment processed.
4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices
you will be contacted to send payment to. (Payment is to be forwarded by
Western Union Money Transfer).

There's a lot more to the e-mail that I can post. It came from CareerBuilder.com, which I am going to ask them if they have had any complaints. I've tried finding any reports on them at RipOffReport.com, but nothing came up.

Thanks,

Don't worry yourselves. It's too much like a scam with free e-mail domains, and the whole rest of it. I'm learning how to smell out these rats pretty quick now.

Funny...I just got the exact same set of emails... I wonder what...if anything Career Builder is doing about this

I just got this too. I reported it to Career Builder. The email is [email protected] to do so.

I too have received the e-mail from the job poster on carrerBuilder. out of curiosity I responded wanting more information. That is when I got a suspecious e-mail asking me to accept checks, deposit them into my account and then Western Union money to the company. I have reported it to careerBuilder and then are looking into it.

I have to say that I am upset considering that I am actively seeking employment and to have a response of this nature.

Thank you for helping spread a word of caution about these types of messages! Based on the information listed within your original post, the message in question does appear to be a payment processing (shipping) scam. It also appears to be a spoof message designed to appear as if it came from a legitimate source or 3rd party company in order to lend its credibility.

Do you mind forwarding a copy of the email in question to us? We would like to review the emails you've received, please send a copy of the entire email to [email protected]

We recommend such messages be disregarded and any current or future correspondence attempts related to the message be ignored.
