In the process of being reported for fraud

I too had an email from this 'organisation' today offering me a wonderful job opportunity. It was only upon a search of the telephone number, that I found this site and this information.

My issue is this; the 'guy' admitted that he had found my CV on a well known job site. This is not the 1st time that I have been contacted by a scammer, the last time it was a call to my mobile and the guy didn't have a job offer, he was using his new found information to make obscene telephone calls.

upon reporting him to the 'jobsite, I was told that there was nothing that they could do, as they do not regulate how uses the site!!!!

Welcome to Scamwarners Webwicked.

To be honest I can't see any point in posting your CV on any employment site. The likelihood of any employer sifting through online CV's is remote. For all they know the CV's could be out of date, relate to people who now have a job or who have retired or passed away which would make it pointless.

Employment sites earn money for paid access to CV's and the information is of value to a lot more people than employers who would prefer to receive your CV from you direct. The deal is that you give employment sites your personal information and they sell it.

What you do is up to you, and I have a fake CV posted up just to see what happens and mostly I get thinly veiled job offers that are really nothing more than sales pitches for courses, and some of them are ludicrous. They quote a figure for the projected income when there is no income at all.

Another wheeze I've noticed is that employment sites advertise jobs with each other that are merely attempts for them to get you to post your CV with them. Presumably they're too mean to pay the fee, or it proves that no one genuinely with a job to offer bothers looking at the CV's.

Same here, received emails from "Paul Sherwood" - email address: [email protected] and [email protected] - he got my details from JobSite website - saying about F.S.A. position and some BS.

I have researched online - it is not a rocket science - check out those links and facts:

* The domain name only has been registered on 1st May 2013 - can check via Whois - http://whois.godaddy.com

* The company name "UNDER ONE UMBRELLA LIMITED" is registered in the UK but it has been dormant for number of years. The address is at local home address to a director/owner in different name - not linked to Under 1 Umbrella website and has different business activity. Checked the company name on Duedil, National Business Register and Company House - see link: http://www.start.biz/multi_search/view- ... r=06311050 It appears to be stealing ('borrowing') and faking owning the business name.

* The company name is not available in United State as claim to have HQ there. Checked with my associate friend in USA and said this does not exist and said to be recorded as fraud.

* The website are similar to different websites in other names - even the "Management Team" names and titles are the same but with different person photos! See links: http://www.bobbear.co.uk/wave-group-inc.html and another one: http://www.bobbear.co.uk/bear-group-inc.html

Is my bank account at risk as I have done a transaction for them? Is it a total scam do you not get your pay at end of the month?
by Dotti Fri Jun 07, 2013 4:10 pm
Your bank account is at risk.

Unfortunately, if you both received and forwarded money, not receiving your "pay" at the end of the month (and you won't) is the least of your problems.

Any money transferred into your account was stolen. By receiving and forwarding that money, you have just laundered stolen money. This is a serious crime.

Ultimately, the victim is going to realize his/her money was stolen. He/she will most likely report the crime to the bank and the police. The bank may take steps to retrieve the money from your account. If you have withdrawn and forwarded money, you can end up owing the bank every penny you took out, plus a variety of fines/fees resulting from the bogus transactions.

Even if the bank does not take steps to retrieve the money from your account, it will be flagged. It will very possibly be frozen. The police may be called, and you could be interviewed and even charged with a crime. You may be blacklisted from opening bank accounts in the future.

You NEED to be proactive here. Contact the fraud department of your bank, and explain what has happened. File a report with the authorities, to help document that you were not a knowing party to the crime. Do NOT withdraw any more money if you don't want to be in an even bigger mess.

I cannot emphasise enough how important it is that you follow Dotti's advice and contact your bank, before they take action against you. Getting blacklisted by the banks is only marginally less worse than getting prosecuted and it would have repercussions you can't imagine. It's very difficult to live in the Western world without a bank account.

Even if you could put all the money back where it started, the bank still has the problem that you've delivered your identity in incredible detail to organised crime. It's going to be costly for the bank to protect themselves from potential impersonation attacks using those details. The problem being that you have not only put yourself at risk, but also the bank, and banks are mighty peeved by customers who do that.
