Can't possibly be fake, sign me up right now, I could use the supplemental income. I'm demanding 10% though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switchgear Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 link Job and Recruiting Scams: Payment Officer / Transfer Manager Scam This is a category of job scams unto itself. Have you received an email offering you a job as a "Payment Officer", "Transfer Manager", "book-keeper", "receiving agent", "distribution officer", "local agent" or "local representative" in which you "receive payments", deduct your "Processing fee", deposit the checks and then wire most of the money to an overseas "company"? It is an AFF / Money transfer Scam. They'll send you counterfeit checks which you are supposed to deposit, take out some percentage (typically, 10%) for your work, and then MoneyGram or Western Union wire the remaining 90%. Of course, since the check is fake, it will bounce a week or so later after you deposit it. But you have already moneygram'ed the scammers 90% of the amount, and that is transacted almost instantly. So you now owe the bank for the full amount. You may also face criminal charges for passing counterfeit checks. --- Looks like they lowballed you, Eers. It's usually 10%.
