In the process of being reported for fraud

how did you know that they where scammers?

i got the same job offer and on their website it stated the business partners on the right hand side.. i contacted them and they are not partners with them.

This is a standard website put together a gang of criminals who have been using people who aren't aware of these scams to launder money for years. HannahsDad and others on our site killing team have literally dealt with hundreds of their sites.
Accepting a "job" with them is a good way to end up getting arrested for money laundering or fraud.

While this site was located because it is a standard site for this group, many of these fake sites are not quite as easy to find.

It's important to remember the following when it comes to this type of job offer:

Legitimate companies have their own bank accounts and make use of the many legitimate payment processing services like paypal and many of the credit card processing companies.

Legitimate companies do NOT hire random individuals to transfer money through their bank accounts, EVER. If they did (ignoring the serious legal issues with such an arrangement), they would soon be out of business due to the ridiculously high amount of money that would be spent paying these individuals and the money that would inevitably disappear in this process.

They put links to MT, Formspring, and the other two (I didn't even bother bringing up the site, I've seen so many like it) on all or many of their sites as part of the template. They make up new company names every day, but don't tell their supposed partners all the new names. I have at least five sites downloaded that look just like that one, all of them money mule recruiting sites. They have several other templates. And if they invent a new template (which they do occasionally), we have other ways to recognize them.

An interesting aspect is that although there are companies that use that name, a serious UK financial company wouldn't because, although it sound like a clever play on words, it also has disparaging linguistic connotations which indicates that the website hasn't been set up by a native UK speaker.

Sumthink/sumfink are phonetic representations of how some people in the UK might pronounce the word 'something' and it mocks them as being uneducated or stupid. Mocking, or appearing to mock regional or class accents is something a UK company would avoid.

The scammer who thought this one up was having a bad day. He built a dud.

So should anyone have been really naive and given them their details, what should they do?

If you've given them your bank account number, notify the fraud department of your bank. If any transfers appear in the account, do not withdraw any money for any reason until they are sent back.

If you've given them the password to access your bank account online, close the account, and all accounts which have the same password, and open a new one with a different password.

Stop talking to them. Act as if you suddenly died, as far as the scammers can tell.

Please post the emails you got here.
