Recognizing A Scam

I listed this scam below yesterday mainly to help others. This is the most common scam I see I’m really not sure how they get our information to personal email accounts. Well I do know how but someone needs to take responsibility and stop these scams. It’s getting to the point that I’m receiving one every day. The best thing I can do is remind others that there are evil people out there.

The basic red flags are foreign numbers, misspelling words, Fabric or LTD included within the company name. With most of the companies they say it’s a salary position requesting that you receive payment from their customer. What they ask you to do sometimes is start a PayPal account. Then a fake customer will transfer funds into your account once money is there they want you to wire money with Western Union.

Some people more not know this but the money is stolen from someone’s account then transferred into your PayPal account. Next, you are supposed to take a percentage of payment that’s your “salary”. The other scam that is basically the same they send you a check in the mail. Then again you to take check to Western Union and cash check take out your percentage then wire transfer to “company manager”. Be advised that the victim will notice money missing then report it as stolen. These scams can get you in a lot of trouble the police will not care to hear how you get scammed all the evidence will point to you.
