Ugh, my husband fell for one of these scams. I'm so scared because the VERY next day the police paid ME a visit, and called my husband in to the sherrif's dept. He was upset and e-mailed the Nigerian scammer guy and insulted him, and now I'M paranoid because this guy has our physical address and i'm afraid he's going to hunt us down! what should I do?? My husband has to go talk to the president of the bank, and i'm praying to God that the bank doesn't press charges!!

Here is a good one, although your website seems to be littered with this type of e-mail. I was wondering if this one classifies as such. Should I reply to it telling them I have forwarded it to the Federal gov't?

Since my posting on Craigslist.com, I've received numerous solicits "spam" and potential "fraudulent" employment requests for someone to work the backside of their company, here within the United States (they claim to be from either the UK or in this particular advertisement from Africa). For your protection, I've copied and pasted the advertisement received. Beware, this is obviously a bogus company working the internet to "scam" consumers.
**** WILCO FABRICS AND PRINTS©***** Hi, My name is Ray Martins .I live in Western Africa with my wife and two kids and three dogs. I majored in business management and have been working in a small firm till i recently inherited my late uncle's company WILCO FABRICS AND PRINTS©,a year ago.The company produces various clothing materials,batiks,assorted fabrics and traditional costume for which we have clients companies that we supply weekly in the states. before the demise of my uncle, he was in the process of expanding into London, UK and the US.I am at the newly completed base in Africa right now and we have made such a large client based in the U.S. but I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling to Americans,they are always offering to pay with a US MONEY ORDERS OR CASHIERS CHECKS, which is difficult for me to cash here in Africa or United Kingdom. I am looking for a representative in the states who will be working for me as a part-time worker and i will be willing to pay 10 % for every transaction made,This would in no way affect your present job or place of residence.This job requires someone who would help recieve payments from customers in the states and get them processed at U.S. banks. The requirements for this position are honesty,dedication and reliability.However arrangements are been put in place to set up an office in the states but for the time being the company needs a representative in the united states, who will be responsible for handling payments in the U.S. These payments are in form of money orders and they would be made in your name, so all you need do is cash the money order deduct your percentage and wire the rest back. It wouldnt cost you any amount,you will receive payments(money orders) which will be sent to you via fedex or usps from my business patners, you are then to cash it,deduct your 10% and send the remaining cash to us via western union money transfer. all western union charges will be deducted from the remaining monies before being sent. Kindly get back to us as soon as possible if you are interested in this job offer. further details will be communicated to you as regards your employment and all replys.

I got a e-mail from a supposed company in the UK called Surgimed International. They used Monster.com to do it, it almost sounds like and money laundering!
If the company is that large then they should be able to afford to have the funds transfered and cashed. I use to work for a bank they should have no problems setting up and over seas account and having the supposed "companys" that "already" have the "products" depositing them into the account or sending it to a bank here!! They are full of crap!!!!!!!!! DO NOT FALL FOR THIS GARBAGE!!!

I received a similar e-mail from SINO textiles in Brussels, Belgium offering a position as bookkeeper. I kindly sent Mr. David Adrain an e-mail declining his offer and inserted a link to this website as reason.
I thought this was a fraud and thank everyone for confirming it for me.

Dear Candidate,
We will never ask you for bank name, bank account number, routing number, credit card, passwords, ssn number etc. If anyone asks for those on our behalf please do not give out this info. This is to ensure that you will not be the victim of an identity theft case.
Before we start you have to understand what our company is looking for and if you feel that this type of job is good for you follow the instructions below this introduction. If you have one free hour daily (not including weekends) you are welcome to join today. Our job is a flextime, flex-place opportunity designed to fit around your family's income and time needs. You can earn from $50,000 up to $200,000 a year (depends on our sales) and more after one year working with us. Our company can guarantee $5,500 every month income in your first year of work.
Here you have the description of this job in simple steps:

I recieved an email from Surgimed International.
I checked them out using www.surgimedinternational.com
I found a company with that very same name. So it seems that they are using legit. company names for a profit.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. Obviously some people have fallen for this scam, thats why they continue to do this.
IS THERE A WAY SOME GOVERMENT OFFICES CAN STOP THIS?
2006-08-10 15:54:43 -
I received an email from a Alma Adams.
It just did'nt make sense to me. It came from
Surgimedinternational.
Is anyone familiar with this?
Should the FBI be notified about this?
