Has anyone recieved a letter in the mail concerning a sweepstakes that you had one and all you need to do is deposit a money order for x amount to cover the taxes that you would have to pay fo winning money? The header of the letter states that they are the company Optimal. I did a little research and this company (out of canada) had no information about this money order that I recieved. The guy I talked to on the phone from which I recieved the money gram swears up and down that he is from Optimal. To my knowlege there is only one company named Optimal which does deal with money and investing and credit card transactions. He claims he is the "other" optimal. He also stated that I could tear it up cash it or deposit it and call him to get the rest of the money I had won. Which brings me to ask, could I get away with just opening a savings/checking account and once it clears withdraw and cancle my account? I am not about to deposit and then call him back... only to futher investigate this "money" I won and how it came about.

I applied for a job that I saw on a local job bank. I later received an emial from the Landine Fabric Company,
65-98 Sinclair Rd,London w14 ons,stating that I have been
approved for the position of Customer Service Representative.I would be required to cash money orders which are payments from clients that are not easily cashable in the UK.They said that I will earn a 10% commision on every payment processed. After I sent them my contact information they sent me a letter of employment for me to sign. I do not want to sign the letter of employment until I know that this company and money orders are not a scam.
Please advise.

Does anyone seem to notice this 10% commission pattern with these money order scams or what?
This guy has posted on so many sites this supposed "Customer Service" money order position. I thought people should get a heads up on this person's activity. I almost fell for it as well. _______________________________________________________
My name is Micheal Landine, I am the owner of the Landine Fabric Company. We are recently established company based in the UK. My company is involved in the production and distribution of quality textiles and materials. In the past year, there has been an increase in the number of companies such as mine that offer services to clients in the international market. With most of my clients being located outside of the UK, I am in need of representatives in my foreign markets including the North America (USA and Canada) to assist me in the processing of payments.
Most of my clients make payments for my goods with international money orders and cheques. These money order and cheques are not easily cashable within the United Kingdom. It is for this reason that I am in need of a representative in your region to aid in the processing of these payments. The payments usually fall in the range of five thousand to ten thousand dollars. As a representative, you will earn a ten percent commission on every payment you process. Since payments are made to my company on a weekly basis, you will be able to earn about five hundred to a thousand dollars a week.
It is a very simple process:
As a representative, you will be responsible for receiving payments from my clients. These payments are usually sent by courier mail. As soon as you receive a payment, you cash it in your bank and forward the balance to the company (after you deduct you commission) by a Western Union money transfer.
BEFORE WE CAN COMMENCE TRANSACTIONS, I WILL NEED TO SATISFY ALL PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS. I WILL NEED SOME OF YOUR CONTACT DETAILS. ONCE YOUR INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROCESSED AND APPROVED, I WILL FOWARD IT TO MY CLIENTS IN YOUR REGION WHO WILL ISSUE PAYMENTS IN THE FORM OF MONEY ORDERS AND SEND THEM TO BY COURIER.
Requirements:
Your full name, address, and phone number.
Once we receive and process your information, we will forward it to our
clients who will make the payments to you as the company's representative.
A letter of employment will be sent to you from my company. Once you receive the letter, you must sign, scan and send it back to the company. You must also send an acceptance letter and a scan copy of your identification. Once your information is confirmed, you will be given an employee number.
As was stated before, I will notify my clients who will be begin sending payments to you as the company's representative. I will notify you of all payments coming your way. I will also give you all the necessary information needed for you to send the payments to the company (AFTER YOU HAVE DEDUCTED YOUR COMMISSION).

I also recieved a bogus e-mail about Michael Landin Fabric Company. I'm sure it is a money order scam as well. I wouldn't be surprised. Keep Listing these Frauds and Scammers everyone.

I signed a contract for one Alma Adams representing Intermed International, UK, on the 20th of Sept. I received a personal check from a person in New York City (I live in Michigan) 5 days later, for $2960.00. I cashed it. It's sitting in my bank right now, waiting for clearance. Now, I find out it is a scam. Had my doubts anyways, as most everone else on here probably did too.
So, now I have to fix the issue. I think I caught this just in time, as not to get myself completely mixed up in some illegal mess. I know what I am going to do to get out of this issue and I plan to report it, with the help of my bank, hopfully. But, I am hoping to get some helpful advice or tips on this issue, as it is the first time it's ever happened to me. Can anyone help?

sculptures and produces various fabrics materials,batiks,
assorted fabrics and various traditional costumes from all over

Just received this. I smelt a rat when I saw the postcode SE28 - it does not exist and the offer seemed too good to be true. I searched for Susart and found the CCRC w'site alongside.
Nuff said??
Dear Sir/Madam,
Would u like to work online from home/temporarily
and get paid weekly ?
we are glad to offer you for a job position at our
company,susart Fabrics
and Textiles
We need someone to work for the company as a
representative/book keeper
in the states.
This is in view of our not having an office
presently in the US. You
dont need to have an Office and this certainly wont
disturb any form of
work you have going at the moment.
From the Site, you will find out the Company
produces the following
varities of clothing materials:- batiks, assorted
fabrics for interior
decor, silk and traditional costumes which we have
clients we supply
weekly in the states. Our integrated yarn and fabric
manufacturing
operations use state-of-the-art textile equipment
from the world's
leading suppliers. Order processing, production
monitoring and process
flow are seamlessly integrated through a
company-wide computer network
* The average monthly income is about 4000.00 usd.
* No form of investments from you.
* This job takes only 1-3 hours per day
About the job:
you should know that
our company manufactures and sells textile and
fabrics.
We have sales representatives all over the world to
distribute our
products.
You know, that it's not easy to start a business in
a new market (being
the US). There are hundreds of competitors, close
direct contacts
between suppliers and customers and other
difficulties, which impede our sales promotion.We
have decided to
deliver the products in upfront, it's very risky but
it should push up
sales on 25 percent.Thus we need to get payments for
our products as
soon as possible because customers can just "forget"
to pay.
Unfortunately we are unable to open bank accounts in
the United state
without first registering the company name.
Presently with the amount
of Orders we have, we cannot put on hold, For fear
of loosing the
customers outrightly. Secondly we cannot cash these
payments from the
US soon enough as international Cheques take about
14 working days for
cash
to be made available. We lose about 75,000 USD of
net income each month
because we have money transfer delays.
YOUR TASK
=================================
Your task is to coordinate payments from customers
and help us with the
payment process.
You are not invloved in any sales. Our sales manager
sells products.
Once he makes a sale we deliver the product to a
customer (usually
through FEDEX).
The customer receives and checks the products. After
this has been done
the customer
has to pay for the products. About 90 percent of our
customers prefer
to pay through Certified Cheques and Money orders
based on the amount
involved.We have decided to open this new job
position for solving this
problem.
Your tasks are;
===================================
1. Recieve payment from Customers
2. Cash Payments at your Bank
3. Deduct 7% which will be your percentage/pay on
Payment processed
4. Forward balance afer deduction of percentage/pay
to any of the
offices you will be contacted to send payment to.
(Payment is to forwarded either by Moneygram or
Western Union Money
Transfer.
Local Money transfers takes barely hours, so it will
give us a
possibility
to get customer's payment almost immediately.
