You take your commission and all fees (cashing and Western Union) from the check amount after you cash it.
I'll send you a detailed instruction about the check processing after the check is sent.

Checks are of different amount, usually from $2,000 to $3,500.

Marie,

I understand the basics, my account should clear in-state checks quicker than out of state checks, I know it shouldn't make a difference in this day and age, but i won't explain that to you. Western Union has set fees for certain overseas transactions, how am i assured the client has included these amounts?
If a check bounces or is canceled what is my recourse, through you or are the checks bank drafts, which clear instantly.

Thanks for addressing my concerns,

Sincerely


ME

Welcome to ScamWarners dumboy. I guess I don't understand your purpose for posting this here. Are you asking a question?

If you are showing us that you are messing with this scammer, that is not something we support here. You should go to http://www.419eater.com to get support and instruction about messing with (baiting) scammers safely.

Thank you for helping in our mission to warn victims and expose scammers.

The company's sounded good, plausible


bubbles you misunderstand i got sucked in, you can see just how far
but i did

i'm not messin with who ever this is , im not out time or money,
but i didn't think i could so easily be suckered,
i ve read the easy to pull apart ones but in the end they said what i wanted to hear

this is key

it wasn't millions of dollars

it was we believe in you, we want to hire you

the money was moderate, not vast sums

i was suckered because i wanted to fall in love, or be fallen in love with by a company

i wanted to be the one in a million

it is my weakness they preyed upon, but

i was wrong

i'll admit it and move on


i wanted to share the info , so others might benefit
cause i looked up scam forums
and wa la
lots of warning signs of actual scams

Hi dumboy. Welcome to ScamWarners.
The scam is either a fraudulent check scam, or money laundering.
Either way, you lose.

It looks like a check scam as they have given you a rough amount and asked if you could process that amount with the lure of 15% to you if you send them the difference fast.
They have tested the water with the figure they gave to see if you have the funds.
They hope that the 15% will be enough of a lure for you to pay them before the check is discovered to be fraudulent.
The bank will ask you to cover any losses and will likely report you for the fraudulent check.

If it turns out that you are employed as a money launderer, well, there's only one outcome... Jail!
You were wise to spot the warning signs.

Thank you for posting this scam, as I can guarantee it has been sent to others who may not realize it is a scam yet.

There is no need to feel stupid that you started to fall for it. Scammers wouldn't be doing this if they weren't making money at it! They evolve over time, and some of them are quite plausible, especially when you aren't expecting it. It is nearly impossible to keep up with every new variation of scam out there.

The important thing is that you realized before you lost any money or put yourself in an unsafe position.

I'm so glad I saw this before it went any further. It was definitely to good to be true. They prey on people desperately seeking jobs. They emailed me and said they reviewed my resume from beyondsandiego.com (which I did post my resume). The email itself was very shady as it came from a hotmail.com and had a lot of grammatical errors. Dumb me, I still clicked on the link which re-routed me to a weird site. The site itself looked very professional. I fill-out the application and with-in a couple of hours received the same email above. When it actually explained what I would be doing, I didn't go any further because I told myself that this sounds illegal. I reported them to beyondsandiego.com today and hopefully there's a away to get them to stop. Here's the site I was routed to when I clicked the link. I hope people see this before they also become victims.

I made it so the link doesn't work as it is a redirect. ~Bubbles
