On December 19th or around that time I saw a position posted on Monster.com for U.S. Representative debt processor or so I thought they were honest enough to post for that position on Monster.com. I never thought that Monster.com allow such employment scams to be posted on their site. Well, anyways moving forward with my story. I must admit that I have not been the victim of a scam from that company, but thank God for consumer complaints.com; otherwise I would have been in such a financial mess, it would take me years to straighten out my financial ruins.
As I was explaining, I came across a posting on Monster.com for a work-at-home part-time U.S. Debt processor for a company in Germany that requires fast cash-flow. Well since I was in the job market for a part-time job to help me save some money while my full time job would pay my rent, light bills etc. I thought this job was too good to be true, but I must admit they did make their story believable about the fact that it is easier to pay the rep a commision of $800 per transaction (not knowing that I would be paying the amount to myself in the long run).
I inquire about the position via E-mail and they sent me the information about how they will do a background check on me in trusting me with the check that their U.S. Partner will send under my name to cash it and send the funds via Western Union and also they included a downloadable contract for me to sign and provide copies of my driver's license or social security card&Oh, did I mention at least they advised me that I could delete sensitive info such as driver license number or social security number and so I did - but I wondered how could they do a complete criminal background checks with just my home address and without social number or driver licenses, but oh no! I did not want to trust my instinct and only saw $800 commision per transaction ahead of me for doing nothing but cash the checks that their U.S. Partners will send to me and wire the funds via Western Union.
I started thinking of how many stuffs I could purchase and how life will be different now that I will have more money than I ever had at once because they mentioned that after 3 months of employment they will start to send between 20-30 checks a month, so if you do the math I will make between $16,000 to $24,000 a month.
I faxed the contract to a number that always seem to be busy, but get this, the phone number they provided was actually a fax number and that was the only number that I got a confirmation the fax went through—go figure! Still I didn't think much of it, I sent the info on Friday, per the instructions from the e-mail I was informed to contact Petra Habecker-Chief Financial Officer, that I had faxed my contract and to enlist me in they HR employee list.
Next day, Saturday, I received an e-mail from Petra informing me that they already did a full background checks on me and that they could trust me with thei money, but I wondered how could they do a background check so quick? Anyways, they told me that due to fiscal year accounting, their U.S. Creditors won't be able to send me a check until the 23rd of January and I will receive the check via FedEx until the 26th. Today is the 26th, they have e-mailed me of instructions to deposit the funds in my checking acct wait for 3-10 days for check to clear and then let them know so I could transfer the funds to
First Name: Juozas
Last Name: Stonis
City: Vilnius
Country: Lithuania
I am currently at work right now while writing this report, I have yet to go home to receive a check from FedEx that my leasing office in the apt complex may have signed on my behalf. But to get to the point, THANK GOD FOR THIS SITE because I decided to type in google the name of the company and came upon this site and read stories about how some people got scammed by the company or so called company. I am thinking of getting the FBI involve, but I don't how I go about contacting them. Pls someone help me.
Oh! By the way this is a copy of the instructions sent to me from Petra Habecker... Hope you guys can read on...

Hello,
I want to let you know that the check from our US partner has been mailed to you today, 23 January by Fedex Overnight, you will most likely receive the check on 26 January. If you do not receive the check by these dates, let me know immediately so I can locate and provide you with the tracking number.
After you receive the check you must deposit it into your existing bank account on the same day. You can either deposit it with the bank teller in person, or through the ATM machine, whichever way is more convinient for you.
Check should be cleared within 3-10 business days, depending on your bank regulations.
After the check has cleared, and the funds have become available for withdrawal, I would like you to transfer the amount to the Financial Officer of our subsidary in Lithuania using Western Union money transfer service. Our subsidary is now in a situation where it urgently
requires this amount of cash. Western Union is know for it's quick transaction processing and timely delivery of cash anywhere in the world. It is also known for it's sky-rocking transaction charges.
To affect the transfer via Western Union please follow detailed instructions below:
1. First, take a look at www.westernunion.com and find a Western Union agent nearest to your place of residence. This will save you time driving around looking for one.
Don't try to make transfer from Western Union website, because they have strict limits for ONLINE transactions - maximum allowed transfer limit is $2000 per month. I want you to go to nearest WU agent location and arrange transfers from there.
2. As far as we know Western Union accepts funds in cash only, so you will have to drive to your bank and withdraw the funds owed to us in cash. It may be that your bank will not have such an amount in cash.in this case, please request a cashier's check and cash it either at another bank, or at a check cashing service.
Please note that in case you will be cashing it at a check cashing service the agent's fees are paid by us and should be deducted from the total amount that you are going to send us.in no way we want to make you carry any cost for expediting the funds to us. We will cover any expenses involved in this transaction.
We know that the check cashing fees can be high for this amount and we agree to carry the cost of cashing it this way.
The total amount that you will have to withdraw and transfer to us equals to the amount of the check minus your 800 USD fee, any cashing charges and transfer fee.
3. Western Union in Lithuania has a limit of 4000 USD per each international transfer. It is
a new regulation so it is very important to follow instructions below.
I have personally spoken to a representative from Western Union's customer service center today, and was told that to transfer such a large amount of money via Western Union in one day, you must break up the amount into several parts equal 4000 USD and commence several transfers.
Please split amount of transfer into few parts, equal $4000 each, and make several separate transfers (last transfer will be less than $4000 as you see).
Below is information for the transfer:
First Name: Juozas
Last Name: Stonis
City: Vilnius
Country: Lithuania
This is the only information required by Western Union to affect the transfers.
During the transfer, ask the Western Union agent to deduct the transfer fee from the amount being transferred (from our share). The transfer fee will be around 200 USD for transferring of amount equal 4000 USD, which is normal and is accepted by us.
4. After you complete the transfer, email me the Western Union MTCN numbers (Money Transfer Control Numbers) and exact amount transferred. Thereafter, please fax us a copy of a receipt from Western Union to the following
fax number: 1-312-896-7378 (our partners fax number).
Thank you for cooperation and your work for us.
P.S. Please contact me right after you receive and deposit check with estimate date when a check should clear.
