My esperience started much like the others listed but I went ahead with it. The SCAM works like this. They promise the clients will wire transfer you money. Seems safe and secure so I opened a seperate bank account to protect myself and filed ficticious name etc.
Money was transfered to my account but not threw wire. Paypal was used. Then I was instructed to take out my commission and send the rest to the Ukrane. Sure right. First of all Paypal money can be reversed, but to guarentee the ripoff they opened a paypal account using my bank number so they could send money to themselves out of my account. The bank would pay, overdrafting me, and making me liable for the funds. I noticed on my bank statement that a paypal account was opened and called paypal to close it. Then I contacted the FBI and IC3, freezing the bank account. The FBI instructed me to not contact or speak to them.
It seems they are now gone but will open under a different name and similar scam. They use skiping to call you with ficticious numbers showing up on your caller ID. They are good but in the end I got them and lost no money.
