This company hired me a la Hotjobs to process their US payments. They claimed they needed someone to cash US checks locally because it takes too long for checks to clear internationally. The rep (or victim) then cashes the check, and Western Union's the money to a "subsidiary rep" in Eastern Europe, minus any fees and $600 rep fee.
Dont fall for this...
The check I received I verified with the actual company, and the money was being drawn off of a non-demand checking account, meaning checks could not be cashed off of that account. What is so incedious about this is when I called bank customer service, they verified that yes, those funds were available. Because money was available, but not for CHECK WITHDRAWAL. I found this out after calling the actual company. As you all know, customer service usually does not know anything other than basic info.
I would have never known the checks were not good until the check came back and guess what? I would have been responsible for $4-5K I'd have already wired out to BF Eastern Europe.
They really had me thinking they were legit until I saw a name of a REAL German chemical company called Chemacon... Not Chempacon. Very slick...
I just happen to find this website from Google after trying to find out if it was legit. They apparently were trying to hire from all over the country, so this may be a big scam starting up everywhere. Its sad that so many people may lose their money...
Smarter than them...
