As you all may know, everytime I receive a job offer that looks like a scam I posted here and let everyone know. These job offers look fantastic and for those of us who are in the need, anything looks convincing. I have posted my resume in "Monster" and "Careerbuilder" that means my email is very accesible. I have been on Careerbuilder for 1 month and Monster.com for 3 months. So far no phone calls, all I need is a part-time job. But enough with what I need. I received an email with the title "Bookkeeper" (whis is my preofession) so I opened it contained an attachment as well. It was offering me a job at "Global Insurance Projects Ltd." As a rep here in Los Angeles. I decided to keep reading and opened the attachment, which by the way was a job application/confidentiality agreement. My first RED FLAG came when the job description was "I will receive payments, cash them, deduct 13% and had to foward the remaining balance" from that point I opened a new tab and google this company. The company is located in NY, everything on the job application matches with what's on the website. I try calling the phone number and you can not speak to any one unless you have an extension number. Today I received a second email from the same person "Frank Grant, frankgrant30@yahoo.com" Explaining to me that their HR department are intereseted in hiring me for the "Bookkeping Position" in the branch office in my state. Again, is all bogus. It sounds legit, until you read the whole email and somewhere it saids, "You will be receiving payments from our clients, CASH PAYMENTS AT YOUR BANK" If they had a branch here in my state why use my bank? People, one more time becareful. These scammers keep getting better. NIGERIA is no longer the red flag now they are going national (US) Please protect your self. Do research. Scamms are everywhere and they just want to take your money and feed on your necessity for a job. Take time to investigate a company, if you don't know send me a message trough MyLot and I will do the research for you.

It sounds weird .You would expect someone will use a company e-mail not a free yahoo e-mail.Nigeria was never the country with the most scammers,the most scammers have always been in the US.:) Look at all these "great businesses" you can find on internet.90% of them are made by people from US.

What money will turn this world to is only known by God because this scamming of a thing is worrisome. It is not only in Nigeria, the scammers are everywhere,they always send message to my mail that they want to transfer a certain amount of money to my account and one day I decide to follow it up until they told me that I will need to send a certain money and then I told them that they are a thief.So the issue is now global and not to a country in particular.we should beware.
