I whis that I would have found your site a few weeks ago, because it would have helped me alot. On 1/12/04 I recived a monster job alert. It was for part time work at home Helping a company in Germany process U.S. Payments for their headquaters in Germany. I looked up the company website and everything looked legal.
What the job entailed was that I was to recive checks from U.S. Companys that owed money to Technologie-Transfer-Zentrale Schleswig-Holstein GmbH (aka TTZSH). It said that I would make $800.00 per money transfer and all I had to due was to wiat for the U.S. Companys to Fedex their checks to me. I was then to deposit them in my checking account, wait for the checks to clear and then send the money via Western Union to what ever branch in Europe needed the money. All I can say is thank god I have a good bank.
I deposited the first check that was sent to me on a monday, that friday I recived a call from my bank telling me that the check was counterfite. I felt so dumb and stupid being taken in like that. I asked the bank what to do. I was told to call the local FBI office and report what had happened. I also called Monster Job to inform them about what had happened. They told me that they are trying to keep these scams off their sites. As soon as they find one they pull it.
If anyone else was taken by this company the best thing that I can tell you is to make hard copies and print everything that they send to you. That is what I did and I am sending it to the local FBI office. To find a listing for your local FBI office, look under Federal Goverment listings in your phone book. It should have a local number that you can call. There is a number for the Federal Information Center. 1-800-688-9889. I am glad that I did not lose any money with this scam.
