I normally am very vigilant when it comes to scams online, let me assure you I definitely am one tough nut to crack when it comes to being scammed, however on this occasion even the best of us at desperate times leave a gaping hole for scammers to glady stroll in! Below is a transcript of two emails I received this week, the first one I actually went full month and handed over bank details and all (not card details). When all didn't go to plan and the company never called I became more than suspicious, I then googled the company online only to find that it was all a scam! After that, literally the next day, another joker tries to pull the same scam, this time I sent him a piece of my mind.
DON'T think it won't be you, sooner or later you might learn the hard way, my advise NEVER give out your true details no matter how small the details may be, if a person like me can harvest details about anybody online imagine what these guys can do? I contacted my banks and they are on 24/7 alert and I made sure all my money is removed from that account, however they needed my bank details for something more sinister! MONEY LAUNDERING. I found an article on here that states this and also speaks of the same "HR" rep that emailed me! As long as my bank has instruction to refuse any incoming or outgoing transactions and to close the account down within 14 days, I'm more than happy to say, I'm one person they shouldn't have fucked with, because like I said, I know how to harvest info, and I have managed to find out where these fuckers claim to live, now I'm going to confirm it, as soon as anything happens to my account, I'll be send the boys to knock on their door NOT MINE!
