(Slightly different to the ones reported by HannahsDad).

Same old 'money mule' job proposition that will earn you nothing but a visit from the police, a frozen bank account, losing your money and potentially worse.

I won't bother reproducing the FAQ's which are the same as all the others, which in itself gives away that it's merely a fraudulent 'doppelganger' that knows will get shut down in days.

Where do I begin ?

Firstly - your PERSONAL account with your bank is not for operation of any business transactions or the transmission of third party payments. The website is unintentionally correct in stating that your arrangement then causes you to become an independent contractor and your account should then become a business account. If you don't notify your bank of this arrangement, you are breaking the terms of your contract with the bank. Your PERSONAL account is not for the operation of any business transactions.

If you notify the bank, they will change your account to a business tariff which attracts a very different scale of charges that you would have to negotiate with a business manager, who would not allow you to use your account for this purpose - acting as a 'money mule' for illegal stolen funds.

The risk is, that by operating your account outside the terms of your agreement with the bank and failing to notify them, they will show you no mercy when the police trace the stolen funds going through your account, as they inevitably will, very quickly. Reading the terms you'll note that the insistence of payment turnaround within 24 hours suggests that the criminal believes this arrangement will only likely last for one payment, two perhaps, but the the more payments you send, the more you are at risk.

Next.

YOU MUST NEVER EVER GIVE ANY THIRD PARTY ACCESS OF ANY SORT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT - NOT EVEN READ ONLY ACCESS.

THERE IS NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON FOR THIS. VERIFY THIS WITH YOUR BANK OR THE POLICE.

I'll be taking full copies of this website for future reference.

No doubt the police will be interested in this website and how it came in to being. A report will be submitted to the police at the earliest opportunity.

The webpages have been saved and recorded as evidence.

What is a money mule?

'Money mule’ is a term used to describe someone who is recruited by fraudsters needing to launder funds that they have obtained illegally. Money mules are often recruited through scams that advertise high-paying job opportunities, often with the ability to work from home.

After being recruited by the fraudsters, money mules receive funds into their accounts and then withdraw the money and send it overseas using a wire transfer service, minus a certain commission payment.

Money mule adverts or offers can take a variety of different forms and they may even copy a genuine company’s web site and register a similar web address to add authenticity to the scam.

The site builder is slowing down I suspect. I'll need to find something to do online waiting for him to catch up.

Making them non-Googlable does help.

This is a Bimbom-Bump site, and the Bimbom-Bump gang does, indeed, ask for the password to a mule's bank account, as stated in the manual which is found on every Bimbom-Bump site. A victim had his PayPal account messed with by the gang, probably because he used the same password for both accounts.

Now that we're getting the sites posted and reported even before they've contacted potential victims, their likely effectiveness is going to be massively reduced and the scale of their scam spamming is only likely to educate people to the risks of this type of job offer.

I have two methods of picking them up and other members probably have their own. I can get the sites within 24 hours of being set up which means we can get to them first.

Global Consulting INC.com has become Collabera. They are targeting IT's through job markets, Most frequently hit is Http://www.dice.com

phone number associated is 973-929-6878 The man Mr. Rajit had no knowledge of Job locations, or Time Frames. Asked for an updated Resume. He did leave a message, and he did answer when I tryed calling him back. Which means he does recieve incoming calls. Hint: "If this where a call center, then it would be VOIP, or PBX designed for outgoing calls only. The asking of the SSN is definatly an indicator of a scam. If there where a subcontracting position available Especially here in USA, there are two requirements or practices related to hiring a contractor. There is the Tax Forms, and the I9 forms. All seekers, will gladly receive a Resume, because upon a face to face, or tele-conferance, there would be a standard application process for interviewed applicants. As an American, you reserve the right to withhold your SSN, until the final stages of hiring. (ie. BackGround Checks) or the Goverment forms associated with a standard new hire packet.

This tidbit brought to you by http://www.davissystemspc.com/ As an employer I do know a bit about the rights of an employee, and as a Preferred Technician for nearly 30 companies. I know a bit about recruitment procedures.

Hmmm....

Well Collabera look like a fine upstanding company here: http://www.collabera.com/

They rate a page in Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collabera

Collabera was established in 1991 by an American named Hiten Patel who has Indian origins in Morristown, New Jersey, in United States, by the name of GCI (Global Consultants Inc). The company now is one of the largest minority owned IT Services organizations in North America.

The jobs they are advertising on Dice look kosher to me
they don't have a fly-by-night domain
they give numerous checkable addresses and phone numbers
and they certainly don't come near to looking like one of the Prez's spawn.

so I can only assume the suggestion is that someone is using their name in emails

Prove me wrong

Honestly I could go on and on with the cussing and fussing as I am so disgusted with this company called Global Consultants... IT IS A COMPLETE SCAM!!!... They sent money to someone that I know and they did make a commission off of the transaction after wiring the money, however, a few days later the same amount of funds that they sent to this person's account was taken out... Let me break it down a bit more... for example, on Tuesday 1500 dollars were sent to this person's account from Global Consultants with a message stating how important it was to wire the money in a timely manner, give the reference number, and if it was done before a certain time, a bonus would be added to their salary... on monday, the person received an email from Global Consultants about the next task, however, the next day instead of money being sent to this person's account, 1500 dollars was taken out of their account which caused this person to go into overdraft fees!!!... The person tried sending emails and contacting the number posted on the Global Consultants website only to get no reply and a constant busy signal on the phone. All I have to say is beware of this company!!!... Is their anyway I could enlighten this person on what to do from this standpoint?.... Please help and notify anyone who is considering working for this company

Unfortunately, the "company" is not going to respond to your friend.

It is important to understand that your friend was not working for a real company. In reality, he was laundering stolen money for criminals.

here's how it works:
-The criminals obtain bank account information from (innocent) people or businesses. They may get this information by phishing or hacking, or they may buy the account information from another criminal who actually does the hacking/phishing.
-The criminals plan to steal all the money from the account--but if they transfer the money to their own bank accounts, they risk the money being taken back or their accounts frozen when the person realizes the money is missing.
-So the criminals make up a fake company name, maybe even a fake website. They post some fake job ads, and offer "jobs" receiving and transferring money. The person who receives and transfers money is known as a "mule."
-When someone falls for the fake job and gives them information for the transfer, the criminals transfer money from the compromised bank account into the mule's account. They instruct the mule to withdraw and forward the money immediately. Time is of the essence here, because they have to get the mule to forward the cash before the owner of the bank account has reported the missing money.
-The owner of the compromised account discovers the missing money, and notifies his bank. His bank immediately reverses the transfer, because it was not authorized by the account owner.
-The money is pulled from the mule's account, and he is left with the loss, including overdraft charges, transaction fees. His bank may even report him to the police as he was an active part of a fraud, and he could be arrested or face additional fines as well.
-In the meantime, the criminals, who have used all fake names and information, have walked away with the cash and will simply move on to the next mule.
Your friend needs to keep all corresdence with the scammers. He should consider filing a police report, and filing a complaint with the appropriate agency (IC3 if he is in the US.) Unfortunately, he can and will be held liable for the money, because as the account owner, he is responsible for any transaction he authorized or initiated--and by giving the criminals his number and then withdrawing the money, he authorized the whole thing. If he has a good relationship with his bank, he may want to contact his bank's fraud department, explain the situation and see if they will work with him or at least reduce the penalties. Some banks are willing to do that when they know the customer was scammed. It is unlikely that they will let him out of paying back the $1500, though.

Thanks for your advice dotti... Yeah its been a big mess for my friend...I shared the advice you gave and it was a start but unfortunately my friend does have to pay the bank that money back... It is really sad though... My heart goes out to my friend and any other people that have been scammed
