Anyone heard of them is this company real?

[ann]

Was contacted from a job site by this man and company to be an agent for them in the USA. Have these guys been part of a scam that anyone knows about? How can I find out more to see if they are real or not?

This was the contract that was given to me after I was asked if I would like a job with them to collect mony owed to them by other companies here in the states.

IS this REAL or IS this A SCAM?

For some of the stuff on these forums is just like what this is but yet this is a different. Who would I contact to find out if this is real?

Dear Ann,

This is most definitely a scam email. I live not too far from Grays by sheer coincidence and there is no such road as Keys Way and certainly no Grays postcode would belong to RM2 which is a central Romford postcode. All Grays postcodes would start with RM17.

Please just ignore the email, and please read this webpage for your own information: http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=174

Be safe.

Welcome to Fraudwatchers, Ann.

You may want to take a look at this link as well:

Scammers of this sort can commonly be encountered on employment search sites. While the formats of their letters can differ, the purpose of those communications is always the same - to get your money.

I would advise you to cease all communications with those people, and not even attempt to process any payments for them. Involvement in such 'enterprises' always means loss of money. Yet, some victims of this type of scam have paid one of the highest prices for accepting such offers - they were arrested, tried and sentenced to jail time.

Be safe Ann.

Dave,

notice their subtle sense of humours as they use "234" (as in the Nigerian country code) for the bogus street address:

234 Keys way

I've come across such insider jokes in other bogus addresses by Nigerian scammers before.

Ann,

yes this is definitely a scam. Offers to forward payments via your bank account are never legitimate.

[ann]

Thanks

Time now to make things right again.

So who is the best to report this too and even if I do the reporting does anything ever happen to them?

Local police is not the answer so I need real thngs to do!

So any help is greatly appreciated.

And again thanks so much.

It's a scam. There is NO legitimate reason for you to process payments for a company and keep a percentage. This would be money laundering if the payments were legitimate.

But in this scam, the checks ( or money orders ) are forged or stolen and altered, and you end up losing twice. You send the money to the scammer, then the bank/financial institution that cashed it will ask you to repay the amount when the payment bounces.

For extra fun, you may also face criminal charges for passing a forged instrument and attempted fraud.
