This is a PRE-WARNING. More information will follow as it unfolds!
Via Monster.com I applied for a position as a buyer, and rcvd a contract to sign and return confirming my hire. They are (supposedly) going to send me a check for my first months salary upfront of $2,600. Oo.
I emailed them to let them know that this was fine, shortly thereafter I rcvd another email asking that, since there bank practices have yet to be set up in the US (as they are an Estonian company they said), would it be ok if one of there suppliers sent me a check of monies due them for the sum of $25,000. Oo USD of which i would subtract my salary plus a $1,000. Oo "Thank you fee" and any wire transfer fees.
This is where my suspicions grew wild. I went to check them out on the net here and nothing, so i searched for there website and discovered that it was beinbg hosted on a free server at Netfirms.com who has already pulled there website down. The time it takes them to shack up on another free server/webhost will be minimal though, hence my filing here.
I am currently going to go ahead with them so as to get as much information as possible for monster.com and law enforcement, so any type of correspondence you may have with them (or related info) will help me stop this before it becomes something like capital first banks ripoff.
Will update (daily?).
Thank you and be well,
