I have just been emailed by this company too. I asked for more information on the job as they said they saw my resume on jobsite, which I use regularly and sometimes receive emails from. The job sounded far too good to be true.

Welcome Parker!

Could you post the emails you did receive, with the email addresses used (delete your own.)? The OP is a site killer, and he most likely found the fake website itself through other research, so he has evidence from the site perspective--but the more (and different) evidence we have available, the better it is for getting action taken. Having any email addresses they use posted will also help other potential victims who don't think to google the site itself.

I have been receiving mails from this company too.
The job role seem very complex and when I 'googled' the address, the company was not in the list of legitimate businesses in the location.
It seems like a very promising opportunity anyone looking for quick cash would fall for.

Kiefer Resources and IT Group Limited are run by two different and apparently unrelated money mule recruiting gangs. I'll go start the process of reporting Kiefer for fraud.

Is this definitely a scam then?

I got contacted by them as well and it seemed too good to be true.

They wanted me to hold payments in my bank account and send them to other people. Which sounded dodgy.

Yes it is 100% a scam.

No legitimate company would ask you to do this - what you would be getting involved with is money laundering and when it got discovered, you would be the one that the police would be investigating as everyone else would be anonymous.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Welcome to Scamwarners Daboot.

There is no doubt that these people are criminals and want you to engage in crime so that they can get their hands on money they've stolen which will be traced back to your bank account.

At worst you'll be prosecuted and could go to prison.

Leicester man's bank details used for car scam money laundering


This is an unusual result in the UK but I don't know the specific circumstances and, if there's any reason that it's believed you could be knowingly involved, then you'll be in big trouble.

In any event, you'll only ever handle one payment at most, as the first victim or a scam baiter will report your account to the police. Then, even if you avoid prosecution, your account is likely to be frozen and is very likely to be closed. If the account is reported, you could find it impossible to get another bank account and I'm not sure how anyone could manage without a bank account.

No company passes its payments through an employee's account for any reason. If these people can, they'll take over your bank account completely and they'll try to get your logon details if you have online banking, then they don't need you at all. You could find yourself with payday loans set up and all sorts, but primarily they just want you to launder stolen money for them until you get caught, which is after one payment usually.

Potentially, it could be worse. I was in banking before I retired and, if they knew how, they could do some very scary things, but these fraudsters are skilled in what they do, though they aren't sophisticated and they don't have the skills and knowledge to perform high level fraud.

I remain gobsmacked that UK banks remain so lax in dealing with this type of money laundering, not only because of the harm it does to the victims of theft and the people who are duped in to using their bank accounts, but these criminals have a massively valuable means to transfer money anonymously that could be made available to any other criminal or terrorist group who would pay highly for the facility. In this way these criminals have effectively established a 'shadow banking' entity within the UK banking system.

As mentioned, any one account will only last for a very short length of time before being shut down but, as long as they recruit new launderers, they have an ever changing and untraceable payment system that will attract the interest of other groups who need such a method to move money. How it will harm and damage you isn't any consideration of theirs, which is why they cynically offer 'bonus payments' that you'll never get. This merely reflects the fact that they know your account will get shut down before you get a chance to claim it.

Considering that this offer is made to those desperately looking for work, it's a nasty cynical crime.
