I Posted my resume Through Career builders. I was contacted by Christopher Larson via Email to deposit checks for his company. He explained that they needed a U.S. Citizen to clear the checks then wire the money to his company because it took too long to clear checks from the states once they had them in Finland (up to 2 months). I would keep $600.00 plus the transaction fee for wiring the balance of a check they sent me using Western Union. I was then contacted by Kirsti Ollilainen via email. I am to wait for further instructions.
I have since found out that the checks they send you to clear in your U.S. Bank account are counterfit. They tell you that they do not need your bank account number but they do ask for a copy of your drivers license and tell you to block out the number, to be able to do a back round check on you. After you fax them a copy of your drivers license and a copy of a signed employment contract that you print from one of their emails, they send you an email stating they hope that you do not break the trust they have in you.
Thankfully I read the report here at usacomplaints.com. I don't know what to do if they try to contact me again. They have my name & address. This really scares me. I took a copy of the email I had recieved to the bank to ask if the "job" was legal, The only thing the bank rep said was that if it sounds to good to be true it probably is.
I had told my sister about the job and she later spoke to someone who knows and friend who actually sent Erwido Oy the money from a check sent to her less the transaction fee And her comission. The woman is now serving 4 years mandatory minimun sentence because the checks cleared but when they were processed the checks were counterfit. Because the amount was more than $10,000 it became a federal offense thus the minimun 4 years. She had already sent the money to the person as per her instructions so she couldn't cover the checks.
My conversation with my sister urged me to enter scams into the search engine then I entered Erwido Oy into the search engine and found the report on this site. Thank you for posting the report. Your report has prevented at least one more casualty from Erwido Oy.
