Got the same exact email today.
ReplyDeleteMe too! For the 2nd time.
ReplyDeletegot this too!
ReplyDeleteI got the same email today 5/1/11. Thanks for posting this scam. Even though it was caught in my spam box I usually double check.
ReplyDeleteMary
Yup, we got the EXACT same one today. Lazy scammers don't even mixed it up! I have a friend who always messes with these types of scammers. He engages with them and they always give a Western Union adress to send the money. Then for the next week he tells them he sent it and he doesn't know why it wasnt there when they went to pick it up! Oops, sent it to the Western Union on the other side of town! Sorry to make you drive all over the place and waste all that time you could have been trying to scam people!!! (Who's the one gettin scammed now sucker?!?) Haha!
ReplyDeleteThat's actually very funny. Somehow it always pleases me when people make the scammers work a little harder for their cockroach ways and get just a little taste of their own medicine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this story!
Mark strikes again. Still has not change the game. Same letter to the period.
ReplyDeleteyes we got this our inbox too and thanks to your posting we just deleted it ! we nearly responded but Googled first and saw the scam! Thanks !
ReplyDeleteI received this email twice now...fun times.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I dont believe all of you received the same email that i have got yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this email info, i was trying to call the number and searching hi and low.
Thanks for sharing !!
So glad i double checked on google... I thought it might have been a bit fishy, and thank you all for posting.
ReplyDeleteI got this today.Why would people do these things to other people????Karma will get them some day!
ReplyDeleteIt's not just Artists that they are scamming. The company I work for doesn't even sell products - we are a fire protection contractor and "sell" service. Somehow I doubt they are trying to fly our technicians around the world to test their (probably non-exsitent) fire protection system!
ReplyDeleteI have this email today...... thanks for posting!

My brother put an ad on Craig's list and got an immedite response from a John Mark. He emailed saying he would buy my brother's handicapped vehicle sight unseen. My brother got an email from PayPal saying that John had put the money plus $600 that he should wire to the person that will be transporting the van out of state. My brother wired the money and then he got another email from PayPal saying that $900 was put in the account and for my brother to get insurance. Now we all know that the purchaser is the person to get the insurance. When he emailed Mark he told my brother that the woman never got the wire. My brother has proof from Western Union that she picked up the money. Is this another scan of the same John Mark?
ReplyDeleteOh man, that is painful. Yes, that is a scammer at the other end and that money is gone. Your brother can now report it as a crime but it is usually for the sake of reporting and not to get his money back (which rarely happens).
ReplyDeleteThis is why I feel wiring money is something that people just need to stop doing. Scammers NEED wire transfers in order to cleanly steal the money and get away without a trace.
Often these Paypal emails are faked to look like they are coming from Paypal when no money has been deposited at all. Did your brother manually go into his paypal account and see? Even then, the scammer can reverse the payment.
Time to report this one as a crime - the police, to paypal, to ic3.gov.

I have receive an email from this immigration service can anyone please tell me is this the fake or real
I see them trying to post in various groups, but I would not interact with any business entity that has an email address of 54646446cb@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteSome flags for typical work abroad scams are:
1. random email from generic service like gmail, yahoo, outlook, etc)
2. Address - look up the address and look for confirmation it is a legitimate business address. Many scammers work out of their home and use PO boxes or residential addresses (or they just fake the address by stealing an existing business address that is not theirs)
3. Ask for employer references who use their services and confirm the references are real and not just their friends helping them with the scam
4. Be wary of any instant hire or act fast hire scenarios. Don't complete any hiring process strictly via email (or some scammers will do Skype but then have some story why the visuals on Skype don't work for them so then it is just a texting exchange - be wary of this)
5. Avoid any service or job that requires any up-front fee or investment
6. Never send cash in the mail, give too much personal information to the service (some scammers are just collecting info to sell), services unwilling to provide a written contract, be sure to read any contracts that are offered - even the fine print, be skeptical of any money orders (which may be fraudulent), and look for grammatical errors and sketchy job descriptions.
