Hello,

Am Helvis Pecker, by name..I saw your ad and wanted to know if you would be interested in this

housing offer which i want to give out.. I stayed there together with my dad before I lost him last year..I

believe this would be an ideal situation for you though,it is not exactly what you are looking for. In his

life time he was a very successful entrepreneur who dealt
mostly in gifts of nature and their derivatives like Gold and golden jewelry to jewelers and jewelry

designers, he was also into the supply of watches, bracelets, wedding rings and gemstones-based

jewelery to stores in the US and Europe and I acted as his marketing manager in the US.
He had bought the house before his death and I happen to be the only child my father had, and as such

the property falls to my inheritance after his death. I have also resolved to continue with his line of

business since he already had a large number of loyal customers in the US.
I will be getting married to an European woman who is based in London,United Kingdom and I know

that after my wedding, my visits to the United States will be entirely unnecessary and ocassionally if not

outright impossible. Now I do not wish to rent out the house and I don’t also want to sell it because it’s

my inheritance and as such I believe that I shouldn’t sell it, as a mark of respect to my late dad..
Therefore, I am looking for somebody who is honest and trustworthy and clean freak for 2 specific

reasons:
1.To help maintain the house while I am away and
2.To help me receive payments [mostly in form of checks,money orders] from the clients/customers

within the USA, on my behalf in his/her name, and have themcashed and then wire the cashed funds

back to the company. You do not have to pay me a dine for the accommodation until meet to get the

arrangement concluded as I did state earlier. It’s just for the purpose of keeping the business alive in the

US.
If you want to keep this assignment as a job, please reply ASAP so I can allocate 5% on each payment

that you receive, that is if at all you don’t want to live in the house, or if you live too far from the

house..The house is a excellent piece of abode with clean bathrooms, walk-in closet, a gym, and all

rooms come furnished with electronics,also comes with Off-street parking,and space for storage. The

pictures are available and if you are interested let me know it is a very lovely house which i know you

will like. If you are interested in keeping the house neat and handling business payments in the state,

please send me your:

FULL NAMES:
HOME ADDRESS:

Once I receive your credit report showing that you have no fellonies I will scheduel a personal interview with you.You can email it to me if it's no more than 30 days old or you can get a free copy here.. www.AlwaysYesToCredit.com Been using them for years with no problems.

Simply reply with info to [email protected] Jeremy Richie Masters Products Inc. National Associates Reg.

Hi leiaza, Thanks for posting the information. Hopefully it will prevent somebody from becoming a victim of the scam. The last one is certainly odd. There is no website at http://mastersproducts.com/ and the email address [email protected] is not working:
confidence rating: 0 - Bad address
error : RecipientRejected - Mail server rejected the email address.
canonical address: <[email protected]>

It looks like the point of the email is to drive you to the website: http://www.AlwaysYesToCredit.com which redirects and you end up on this site: https://www.gofreecredit.com/freereport ... id=25879-1. This last one does appear to be a legitimate site, though I wouldn't give them any personal information. I am not sure if this last one would be classified as a job scam.

edited to fix bad sentence structure.

Clair, given what you've said about what that link sends you to, I'd be inclined to think this is not necessarily a scam, but a sneaky way of getting customers. Those "free" credit reports are "free" only if you become a member, which usually costs something.

The job doesn't exist, I'm sure. Anyway, you don't get a credit report to prove you have no criminal record. You get a Background Check which includes a criminal history - and usually the employer has a contract with a company which gets those for a deep discount. You can get a copy of it if you want, but since the employer is the one asking, they are usually the ones paying.

HB, I agree, I don't think it is a scam, but I still wouldn't want to give them my personal information.
