I came across this just yesterday when spring cleaning my personal e-mail box and thought it prompted me to write a discussion on this topic as I have seen a few of these circulating lately.
A couple of months ago I received an e-mail from an Australian Job site called CareerOne. This e-mail was a "job offer" which entailed using one of my bank accounts to move large sums of money, from one account to another, and offered me a commission of funds.
Now, the alarm bells went off and I promptly reported it, because I knew this was a scam but how many people out there new to the Internet would recognise this as a scam? It would be very tempting for someone who is genuinely seeking a legitimate Home Based Business to innocently jump at such an apparent opportunity. Unfortunately without realising, they unintentionally end up on the wrong side of the law.
Work From Scams are often conducted through spam e-mails, advertisements in classified sites and on noticeboards. Most are not legitimate job offers. In fact, many of them are a front for money laundering scams, an upfront payment scam or a pyramid scheme. You might receive an e-mail offering a job where you use your bank account to receive and pass on payments for a foreign company, just as I did. They promise to pay you commission for each payment you pass on. This money you are transferring could be part of a money laundering ring and you could end up in serious trouble for being a part of this. Sometimes they are just after your bank account details, cleaning you out after you hand over your details.
You could also be offered a ‘job’ for doing something like stuffing envelopes or typing ads. You are required to pay for a starter kit or administration/joining fee before you can get started. However, once the money is paid, you may receive nothing at all, or simply a set of instructions on how to con other people into joining the same scheme. They proliferate the Net. I actually saw one of these typing ads in my local Messenger just the other day. They wanted a $199 start up fee.
KNOW THIS
Legitimate Online Job Sites will never send you unsolicited e-mail offering you jobs. Remember there are no get-rich-quick schemes: the only people who make money are the scammers.Be highly suspicious of products or schemes that claim to guaranteed income or winnings.Be highly suspicious of job offers that require you to pay an upfront fee. You should not have to pay to get a job. Money laundering is a criminal offence: NEVER under any circumstances agree to transfer money for someone else. NEVER send money, or give credit card or online account details to any company that cannot be verified or someone you do not know. Do not open suspicious or unsolicited e-mails (spam): delete them.
DO A BACKGROUND CHECK
Before responding to a job, try to find out if the company is reputable and well-known. If the job offer involves transferring money for someone else, ask yourself if you really want to get involved in something that could be money-laundering and likely to attract police attention. If you are concerned that they are using a legitimate company as a front ask for a direct phone number to the company they are representing and check it out. Check the website address they have given matches the Company name and phone number. There are a number of ways for you to verify their identity. If they cannot provide you with this information then you know that you have caught them out.
If you think you may have received a work from home offer that you think is a scam, or if you have responded to a job advertisement that you now realise is a scam, report it to the SCAMwatch website. If you have received an unsolicited e-mail from a well know Job Site, report it to them. This will help others from falling victim themselves.
Remember this: Do not pay for a job. If you are looking for a home based business that is different to a work at home job. Legitimate home based businesses have start up costs but these are usually for items like website hosting, marketing tools and advertising costs. Take the time to look around and think through any decision to sign up to a program or home based business opportunity. They will not all be the right one for you.
