This company is sending out fake cashier's check's, the one i recived was for the ammount of $4940.00 USD verry offical looking with a real bank name out of Austin TEXAS "Libertad Bank" with a toll free number 1-888-811-1028
we called the phone number to verify the check and all appeard fine the person on the other end said we can cash this check with out problems and it will be paid, yet something didnt sit right with me in this the envlope had no return address on it and the methods of use of funds of the check seemed fishy i will post them here
below is copyed from the letter accompanying the check
Below is a breakdown of attached funds:
evaluation training pay expenses&$300.00
your tasks as follows, wal-mart purchase&$50.00
Gap purchase - $40.00
western union transfer — $2800.00
service charge by western union&$150.00
money gram transfer — $1540.00
service charge by money gram - $60.00
total — $4940.00
End of copy from letter
ok remember all of this was under the guise of being a secret shopper.
After reading through all of the info it honestly looked like to me a "elegant money laundering system" so i did more research in to things looked up the bank on anywho.com and find no toll free number for them but got this info
Libertad Bank
512 E Riverside Dr
Austin, TX 78704 Map
(512) 693-3600
then did a reverse lookup on the tollfree # on the check and it doesnt show up at all in anywho.com so i call the posted number for the bank and get told that the tollfree is not afilated with the bank at all and that i have a faked cashier check and that i should forward copys of it to the bank for them to send on to the fbi
After getting this info i did a whois lookup on network solutions for the domain name listed for there website and find the following
Domain Name: SHOPPINGJOBSHERE.com
