* Craigslist Job Scams

Craigslist is being swamped with tons of fake employment ads offering unusually high pay. Most of these ads are posted by someone with a gmail, gmx, live, in or even yahoo addresses, but now they get smarter by just using craigslist auto response addresses. The jobs sound very generic, usually Receptionist, Administrative Assistants. By responding you will notice you get almost an instant response where they prompt you to fill out an application – DO NOT DO THIS – IT IS BOGUS. I am unsure of what the scam is and how they profit, I can only imagine they fish for information, hence you email gets clogged with spam. Legit job ads follow general pay scales and tend to elaborate about the company, with company website info, phone number, etc.

    OKAY so I put an ad up on Craigslist advertising myself as a Personal Assistant and I got a Phone Call and I am pretty sure this is a SCAM too because each email I get is asking me for my PayPal Account. I can’t see how the guy will benefit from Paying me for working for him through PayPal but I have just spent 4 Hrs on different sites and I it seems my concerns might be legitimate because
    1) he could be using a stolen credit card
    2) once I give him my login, he is one step closer to accessing my account info which is linked to credit cards, bank info etc
    3) IF he did pay me for hours worked i honesttly would NOT be stupid enough to send him money under NO circumstances because I have got screwed over enough times in this country to have learned about the different scams BUT I read PayPal can reverse the transactions….sooooo, still not really sure how that can affect me BUT still Red Flags…so here it goes..

    Okay this answers my question….YES its a SCAM and I think you’ll find this article VERY useful about online job scams. Thanks G

    1. Introduction

    Job seekers who use online job search web sites must be careful to avoid a type of job scam in which the applicant is asked to accept payment to his or her own bank account. These are known as payment-forwarding or payment-transfer scams.

    Payment-transfer scams involve a con artist who pretends to be an employer. The con artist uses a job ad to lure an unsuspecting job seeker, or they may use information from a resume they have found online. Such con artists can be quite convincing, and may even steal company names and corporate logos to convince victims that they are legitimate employers.

    After the con artist has won the job seeker’s trust, the con artist tricks the job seeker into giving up bank account numbers. The reasons given for this can be clever. One ploy is to tell the job seeker they can only deliver paychecks by “direct deposit.

    “The “job” a job seeker will be asked to do involves forwarding or wiring money from a personal bank account, a PayPal account, or from Western Union to another account. The other account is often overseas. As part of their pay, the job seeker is instructed to keep a small percentage of the money as their payment. Sometimes the payment for making the money transfer is as low as $15. Sometimes it is as high as several hundred or several thousand dollars. Almost always, the money the victims are transferring is stolen, and therefore, the victims are committing theft and wire fraud. Usually, this kind of scam involves at least two or three victims.

    There are many variations of payment-forwarding scams. Following are very simple tips that will go far to protect you from falling victim with some clarifications noted below. Again, this scam can be quite clever and refined.

    Do not give personal bank account, PayPal account, or credit card numbers to an employer.
    Do not agree to have funds or paychecks direct deposited to any of your accounts by a new employer.
    Do not forward, transfer, or “wire” money to an employer.
    Do not transfer money and retain a portion for payment.
    Legitimate employers do not usually need your bank account numbers. While direct deposit of a paycheck is a convenience, if that is the only option an employer offers, then you should not accept the job. A legitimate employer will give you the option of direct deposit, but not demand that it is used. You should wait until you have met the employer in person before agreeing to a direct deposit option.

    There is one exception to this: the U.S. government typically does require that employees agree to direct deposit. If you have been interviewed in person, and you are sure that you are dealing with a government agency, then agreeing to direct deposit is not a problem. Also, if you have been working for an employer for a while and you are very sure about their legitimacy, then agreeing to a direct deposit is usually fine. This is especially true if you have received a number of paychecks from the employer and you have met the employer in person. “Work from home” and telecommuting jobs are most at risk when agreeing to direct deposit, especially from brand new employers. Use caution and good sense.

    Regarding payment transfers, while some jobs may require an employee to make transfers for employers, legitimate employers making this request will go to extraordinary efforts to check the job seeker prior to making the hire. This would involve meeting the jobseeker in person and conducting rigorous interviews. This kind of job hire would not be made via email or even the telephone or a single meeting. And a legitimate employer would typically ask you to make transfers from their business accounts, not yours. You need to draw a line and understand that transferring money for employers from your personal bank account or personal PayPal account is off-limits, period.

    2. Known Red Flags

    Payment-forwarding scams contain certain “red-flags” that should alert you to fraudulent job ads. Here are the known red flags:

    Request for bank account numbers.
    Request for Social Security number (SSN).
    Request to “scan the ID” of a job seeker, for example, a drivers’ license. Scam artists will say they need to
    scan job seekers’ IDs to “verify identity.” This is not a legitimate request.
    A contact email address that is not a primary domain. For example, an employer calling itself “Omega Inc.” with a Yahoo! email address.
    Misspellings and grammatical mistakes in the job ad.
    Monster.com lists descriptive words in job postings that are tip-offs to fraud. Their list includes “package-forwarding,” “money transfers,” “wiring funds,” “eBay,” and “PayPal.” World Privacy Forum researchers also found that the terms “Foreign Agent Agreement” often appears in contracts and emails sent to job seekers.

    Me again, soooooo I emailed the guy and told him I was concerned it was a Scam because of my research which said

    If they ask for PayPal
    Poor Grammar

    yay da ya da ya da….and i told him in a really nice way I couldnt accept his employment because I was concerned it was a scam and the guy was very gracious and understanding….HENCE my Post that I might have been WRONG and I wish I could delete the poor guy’s email from my post above.

    I do want to keep the 1 article up above that does tell you about the online scams to watch out for BUT pls dis-regard my 1st posting and if the owners of the blog check and remove anything pls remove that posting w/his email and this one.

    STAY safe everyone

  6. GinaG says:

    It WAS a SCAM, the guy finally confessed to me today that he IS a scammer and he isn’t even in this country…..sooooo EVERYONE beware of

    [email protected] or gmail.com

    he says they are launching a new company here and he wants to posts ads on yahoo hot jobs OR craigslist and he needs you to do it

    He’ll go as far as saying they can give you a reference to people here verifying them.

    I was always 50/50 about this guy but in wanting to trust him BUT being cautious i had opened a separate PayPal not linked to any bank accounts, no money ever passed between me or him so that was good, he saw how persistent i was in trying to help him BUT i always tok a cautous road, not using my OWN CL accounts and tody to verify the account i told him i needed to use HIS phone number to verify it and CL couldnt so I told him i’d wait for him to get me a number…finally he fessed up that it had all been a scam so THERE you have it, WOW man.

    New scams every day, he started emailing me people’s PRIVATE information, like AOL user account information and a whole bunch of information like people’s credit card information, and told me he could make me tons of money I told him i was NOT interested and NEVER EVER in a MILLION years would be in scamming people and to stopemailing me all this information and that iwas keeping a record of everything.

    SO he got pissed off and told me to keep my mouth shut and started insulting me soo I signed off and removed him from my messenger. I will of course forward this information immediatelty to the FBI BUT since I already had a running tab of a posssible SCAM i wanted to keep everyone updated, you never know.

    Good luck and Take Care

    Nearly got scammed….. lucky I asked sooo many questions and didnt go through with it… I posted my ad online expecting someone local to buy my car, but then got this sms from some guy called Mathew… saying that he will offer more than my asking price (too good to be true), and to email him details of my car:

    I won’t be available to come for inspection my self due to my transfer to Newzealand . I have a pick-up agent that will contact you on where and when the pick-up will take place after have completed the payment but i will like you to tell me a little bit more about the present mechanical condition of the Vehicle on how often do you service it and the history ?
    Your quick response is greatly appreciated then i can proceed with this transaction immediately. but am sorry but I can only make the payment via PayPal. I can’t make a Bank transfer from another country because of the security attached to my internet banking neither can I send a Bank draft or cashiers cheque. In other words, I can only make a bank transfer from the IP I used in registering for my internet banking. The only available and secure method for me to make the payment is PayPal , but if you can not do that then am sorry i will have to try else where because i need to be safe and if you don’t have one i will advice you to on http://www.paypal.au or http://www.paypal.com and register with them and link to your Account and get back to me with your PayPal email
    And as soon as you reply me with your PayPal Account email i will make the Payment immediately i want to make the payment now when the pick up agent inform me i will have to pay for the freight fee before they can schedule a pick up time with you and they are charging $600 for the pick up and delivery to Tasmania and they said the payment must be sent only to their Co-Operate International Headquarter in Johannesburg and the payment must be made to them through Western Union or Money Gram money transfer.

    And due to the fact that i can only make a Payment only via PayPal i will add the $600 and the 2.4% that PayPal is charging you to the money am sending to you through PayPal and immediately i make the payment to you, I will contact you and please i will need you to help me send the money to my pick up agent’s Hq in Johannesburg through western union money transfer after i have sent you the full payment. I would have done it myself but I can’t send money through that means due to my present location. I’m a little incapacitated but I’ll appreciate your help here as soon as i make the Payment to you .

    Please respond a.s.a.p. so that I can proceed in making all the payment to you now
    Regards
    Mathew

    HOW FUNNY!!! Obviously thinks I’m silly…. I dont even have a paypal account, let alone internet banking… 🙂
    I offered to give him some prices of a few local/national freight carries here, but he ignored my offers…
    The last email I got was:
    Here is the pick up agent information needed for you to send the money through western union money transfer:

    Name: Emmanuel Olawale
    Address: 413 Broughton Street, Gaston
    State: Johannesburg
    Zip code 27832
    Country: South Africa
    Amount: $600
    Question: what is the Color
    Answer: White
    Email me the necessary details; the mtcn which you will be given at the western union office after you have sent the pick up fee, the name of the sender, address and the question and answer you used in sending the money so that I can forward it to PayPal or better still, you can email it to PayPal directly, that is fine with me as well so that they can credit your account with $2,700.00. Please send me your address where the vehicle will be picked up and also your phone number because I must forward it to the agent who will contact you immediately they have received the payment and your account is credited so that a convenient pick up time can be booked.

    I didnt even get the chance to open a PAYPAL account…. how weird??? 🙂

    Concerning your posting Lot of 13 Dell Axim X50 Handheld Portable Computer w/ Windows Mobile – $495 (Piscataway) placed on the Craigs-List web site.
    Is it still up for sale?

    GOOD LUCK GUYS, BE AWARE OF LOTS OF DIRTY HUNTERS THAT THE ONLY THING THEY ARE LOOKING FOR IS YOUR E-MAIL (when you respond). THEN THEY SELL YOUR E-MAIL AND AREA WHERE YOU LIVE (it is in the ad) TOGETHER WITH THOUSANDS THAT THEY COLLECT LIKE YOURS. SCAMMER COMPANIES PAY VERY GOOD MONEY FOR A LIST OF E-MAIL WITH THEIR AREAS.

    Hello,Is this item still up for sale?I am Pastor Mike Johnson.

  13. M says:

    I recently applied for a job on Craigslist by sending an email to [email protected]. He’s a scam artist. He asked me for the following information which seemed reasonable.

    FIRST NAME ………………… SURNAME………………
    HOME ADDRESS(NOT P.O BOX)……………..
    CITY ………..STATE…………..ZIP CODE…………
    PHONE NUMBER (S) ……………………
    PRESENT OCCUPATION……………….. ….
    GENDER………….
    AGE……….

    Then he sent me the offered me the following job as an admin for $450/week and sent me the following letter. This fits into the Excess funds scam category. So, I rejected the offer.

    Hello,

    Have received your confirmation e-mail and Congratulate on your new job.

    That means you are ready to take the job position am offering , I’m sure you’ll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point. Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules, it’s a part-time, work from home basis and the flexibility means that there will be busier weeks than others, so it’s a little difficult judging the exact number of hours you’ll be doing per week. If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extra while you do something else on the side. As I have said, I’d want us to get a head start with things as soon as possible. I do have a pile up of work and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with and i hope we can meet up with the workload eventually.

    Permit me to use the coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards all this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. I really need to find the perfect person for this job, I’m confident you can take up the challenge and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us. I am glad you are willing to work with me and i promise to be a good boss. I am also glad on the commitment in working. I have been checking my files and what i would want you to do for me next week is to run some errands out to some of the orphanage home, I do that every new month.

    The funds will be in form of check and it will be issued to you including your 450$ first week payment, am going to email the list of what to do to you as soon as i compile them all but it will be better to wait till you get the fund before i give you the list . You will make some arrangements by buying some stuff for the orphanage kids at any nearest store around .

    I will get back to you with the task for next week. Please understand you will be paid for the first week immediately ( Check Payment ) as i have stated in my message above ,its important for me to have everything setup before i get back from my trip. Hope i am clear with that.

    Get back to me asap..

    Since it is now 2011, I don’t think the poster (“marvin”) will be checking this anytime soon, if at all, but the message you received is OBVIOUSLY a scam.

    Aside from the comments that other people have left, did you stop to think why would the individual would need you to send him back money for air fare to the States when he’s a businessman and could probably very well afford it himself? Otherwise, if he really couldn’t afford the flight to the States, why would he send you more than what you need, only for you to return a portion of it back to him? The message has “SCAM” written all over it. Hope you didn’t fall for it.

    I answered a job offer for a Warehouse Position for $18 per hr. This was the first thing that seemed strange.
    Then I received an immediate response asking for my personal info. I played along and less than a week later… I have a real FAKE check in my hands for $2450.00
    Who in their right mind would fall for such a thing. NO ONE will trust someone they never met face to face with $2450.
    First call in the morning in the University this check is drawn on, then to the bank on the check, then to the authorities. I can’t believe they sent it USPS, from a real address in NJ. Although that is probably fake too. But it was printed by a label printer through the USPS website.
    At the least i wasted a little of their time and a few dollars of their money to get the check to me.
    If you ever get one of these checks in your hands… NEVER CASH THEM. It is a felony in every state. And can lead to Federal charges, especially in the Post Office is used.
