Am I being scammed?? [email protected]

I was contaced by a guy in responce to an ad I had online looking for a job. He tells me he does the payroll and works for several companies and work has gotten to where he needs an assistant yada yada, What it is I would do print off these checks and mail them out to everybody. I do this once, twice, now he wanted to start using my girlfriend to work with me to but she would handle thier money. All she needed was a bank account, so okay she has one, but then his wanted the passcode and security questions to monitior the activity. I say no, as it is her personal bank account, but I offer to open an account to use, and do. He tells me I would get paid $700 every three weeks and My girlfriend would get 10%of each deposit when she sent them where they go. Am I being scammed? I do not want to end up getting ripped off I am not entirely nieve but I do not want to turn away a promising job because of paranoia... what do you advise? Also, I havnt told this guy I think hes scamming him, so he will probaly want to transfer a wire deposit in the morning now that there is a bank account...??

Its a scam . Probably a money mule scam . Real companies don't hire strangers over the internet . Please post any emails, email headers or websites that these criminals are using . Be sure to edit out your own personal information .

Thanks for posting to Scamwarners

Welcome to Scamwarners,

You and your girlfriend are in the worst scam to be in. You are being used to send fake/hacked check from bank account. Now the scammer has faith in you all. He is now recruiting you to be money mules. You are also mailing the checks from hacked UPS/Fedex/USPS accounts. Everything you all are doing is a Federal crime.

Money mules receive money from scam victims and forward a percentage to the scammer. The problem is the scammer is using a fake name, free email address and out of country.

You and your girlfriend are using real details. The scammer will never be caught. When the victim reports the crime to Law Enforcement only you and your girlfriend will be located.

You will need to now be proactive. Report to your local Police that you are a scam victim. Show them the emails received and give them the bank accounts and mail accounts to send the fake/stolen checks. You will also want to inform your bank and UPS/Fedex/USPS all or what applies.

If you are in the USA also report it here IC3 http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

Protect yourself because the scammer does not care about you. He is protected.

Damn. No doubt about it? I still have the guy on the line (so to speak) is there anything I can do to get him caught up?

No.

Stop all contact. Do not tell him why or he is posted here. Ignore all further messages from him. Follow my directions above.

Do as the other poster stated and post his details so no else fall for his scam.

There isn't anything you can do to get him caught . Just keep yourself safe and follow the advice given in the thread . Exposing his email and other resources here is the best thing to do .

This guy awnsered an employment ad I had out , told me he did payroll for several companies and the workload was getting where he needed an assistant.I needed a printer, special checks and ink all reembursed of course, He emailed me, moved on to skype and even texed me. After having me mail out checks he wanted to use my girlfriends bank account to wire money through it his email is [email protected]

What was the skype ID he used and phone number.

Did he give you a website or company name?

Here are a few threads you and girlfriend need to read if you are not proactive.

ETA: I am willing to bet you have not been reimbursed? Scammers do pay with their own money. That is why you and your girlfriend was also recruited to be money mules. He will allow you to keep to 10% of stolen/laundered money from scam victims. The problem is you can be lining the scammers pocket with money or laundering money to a Terrorist group.

Reported! Skype name andrew rogers. Phone number is on my girls phone I will add it later. Company name Certifiable Payroll Inc.

So he never directed you to a website?

Please keep in mind. Meet your employers face to face. No one in the world will trust a stranger on the internet to print checks, post and receive money.

Scammers do believe this is how the Western World work.

An online job. If you find one will not pay not pay enough to treat your girlfriend to Micky D's once a month.

Well ill be damned

This is a must. Do not withdraw any money from the account. Your average teller may not be able to help you. Get a manager or the Fraud Dept.

You will need to now be proactive. Report to your local Police that you are a scam victim. Show them the emails received and give them the bank accounts and mail accounts to send the fake/stolen checks. You will also want to inform your bank and UPS/Fedex/USPS all or what applies.
