The scams continues inspite all of our efforts. Law enforcement is slow to act and is focus on terrorists.
Please visit www.ScamFraudAlert.com and see the many variations of these scams.
Best advice, stay away from those tempting easy job offers.

I got an email telling me they want a rep for their Company called Susart World Inc. supposedly based in Great Briton.
Any wrongdoing involved with these guys. Let me know.

I went to monster.com and found an ad about home-based jobs. I sent an inquiry since I'm interested in supplementing my income. Got an email from Alma Adams from Surgimed Intl based in London.
Here's the job offer and I'm posting it here so everyone will be forewarned that this is a fraud.
"Here you have the description of this job in simple steps:
1. You agree and sign the contract, send us your full name and postal address.
2. In 4-5 days after you have agreed to work for us you will start to receive checks/money orders/cashier checks made on your name from our customers in U.S. and Canada. Our customers use hospital funds and the checks are always covered. The payments are made for our products and services which have already been delivered.
3. You cash the checks/money orders/cashier checks at your bank using your pre-established account.
4. You deduct the 10% commission from the total amount of the check or money order that you receive and cash.
5. You send the remaining 90% minus transfer fees to our company as per our instructions to one of our offices. We have offices in almost all of Europe ; we will instruct you where to send the balance. This means that the funds will not always be sent to our headquarters in U.K. You will not make the transfer on our company name. One of our employees will be the receiver for the funds. The methods we use for transferring funds are: wire transfers, money transfers, checks and money orders. Depending on our needs we will instruct you to send the funds using one of those methods.
6. After one month has passed since you signed the contract you will receive your first salary.
i did my due diligence and found out the same name Alma Adams also appeared representing Orthomed intl with the same scheme.

I was a victum myself of this very scam, I am a person who loves to help other people in need and was approached via my E-mail by this Kalim Durak to start a orphnage in his name. He ( kalim) laid a story on me about being terminally ill and needed someone that he could trust to start an orphnage in his name after his death, and here is the scam, he would finance the whole deal and would pay me to help with all the leg work once funds were sent to me to pay for the whole deal. He since has sent a company check, that was deposited for clearance, But has not since cleared, So i will never be fooled again by any of these people again.I was fooled by he's pictures of him being in the hospital, which i saved on my computer. So if anyone would like to see them i have them here.I would like to help the authorites catch these people and put an end to this, so nobody else will have to be hurt financially by these people. I would like for some of us to stand together and try to catch these criminals and beat them at their own game.If there is anyone out there with the guts to help me with this please E-mail me.
Sincerely,
Larry

I also received an email about SUS Artworld the same as Thomas Starr

I,too, have received an email that was in response to a posting of my wifes' job resume which was subsequently listed with monster.com The message was an offer for a "Representatives" position with a company called Orthomed International, supposedly located in the UK, and founded in 1954. A following email provided a "contract" that was to be faxed, scanned and emailed back to a person calling themselves Alma Adams (though in the contract Adams is referred to as "he").
While several of the people on this listing have said that this appears to be money-laundering, it actually falls more along the lines of fraud and mail fraud.
My actual irritation is with monster.com,though. Because my wife listed her resume in good-faith in a legitimate effort to land employment. Someone please list possible proceedures against monster.com .

I recieved this e-mail today. Does anyone know what happens if you go through with it??
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have been directed to bring to you in offer of work online from Home/Temporarily and get paid weekly? We are glad to offer you for a job position at our company, H & F FABRICS. We need someone to work for the company as a Representative/Book keeper in the US. This is in view of our not having an office presently in the US. You don’t need to have an Office and this certainly wont disturb any form of work you have going at the moment. 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
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 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 it possible. Unfortunately we are unable to open Bank Accounts in the US without first registering the company name. Presently with the amount of Orders we have,we cannot put them on hold. For fear of loosing the customers out rightly.
Secondly we cannot cash these payments from the US soon enough,as international Checks 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 is to coordinate payments from customers and help us with the payment process.You are not involved in any sales.we make direct contact for sales of products. Once orders are received and sorted 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 Checks 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. Receive payment from Customers
2. Cash Payment at your Bank
3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed
4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices
Payment is to be forwarded either by Money Gramm or Western Union Money Transfer) or any Local Money transfers take barely hours, so it will give us a possibility to get customer's payment almost immediately. For example you've got 3000.00 USD, you take your income: $300.00 USD Send to us: 2700.00 USD,First month you will have 15-20 transactions on 3000.00-4000.00 USD so you may calculate your income.For example 18 transactions on 3500.00 USD gives you $6300.00 USD Plus your basic monthly salary is 1000.00 USD Total: 7300.00 USD per month After establishing a close co-operation with us you'll be able to operate with larger orders and you'll be able to earn more.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you can have them cashed in your bank or other Cashing Services.Deduct your weekly salary and forward the balance to the company via western union money transfer or money gramme money transfer We understand it is an unusual and incredible job position. This job takes only 3-7 hours per week. You'll have a lot of free time doing another job, you'll get good income and regular job.But this job is very challenging and you should understand it. We are looking only for the worker who satisfies our requirements and will be an earnest assistant. We are glad to offer this job position to you. If you feel that you are a serious and earnest worker and you want to work for H & F FABRICS, kindly email us and let us know about what your intrest is.

My husband and I recently decided to rent out the basement of our home, so as to fill some gaps in our bills, after losing my job and going to a lesser income.
We posted a listing on roomates.com, and a few weeks later we recieved a response from someone wanting to know more information. She (he ... whomever it really was!) stated that she liked the pictures and to reserve the room. She stated that she was a model, sold jewelery, and would be moving from Ireland. The next email said that she needed help with the shipping, she was going to have her client send us the money prior to her arrival, and to pay the shippers and take our first months rent out of that. A few weeks went by and we talked about furniture and she even asked how our son was doing! We recieved 6 money orders all for $950 from Mesquite tx via UPS, and we notified her. We deposited them in our account. That night we recieved an email that the shipper had decided that he wanted paid prior to delivery, and she asked us to just cash the money orders when we got them the next day and take them to western union and send it to her shippers international office in Ghana. We then of coarse withdrew the money at the bank the next morning (still a little confused as to how the bank let them post and didnt catch it first), and sent the western union. Yesterday (4 days later) the money orders were returned from Superamerica as fraudulent to our bank account and all $5750.00 was then deducted from our account. Leaving us negative in the account.
All of this and tomorrow is our sons 5th birthday, with our Mortgage due today.
What kind of world am I raising my son in??
If any one has any information that can help us please let me know.

Alma Adams from orthomed international is a fraud!!!!! I received the email yesterday, and I respond. Today She send more information about the company and the job discription, responsiblities. I did what every sensible person would do, I went on to the internet and put in the company name. Guess what? the company is in France and there is non in the UK, and it was established in 1980 not 1956. Now I was very curious, I type in Alma Adams and I was directed to this site. Thank god I found out before it was too late.

I’m not sure if there were any bulletins, but it sure seems like the crooks always manage to stay one step ahead of law enforcement. You would think that the financial institutes with all their computers and fancy schmanchy equipment and computers that can communicate with each other across the globe in a matter of milliseconds would be able to catch fraudulent activity or protect someone from committing a fraudulent act unknowingly in this day and age. Instead they allow the checks to go through. When I did have job, I couldn’t cash my bosses check unless he had money in the account. The bank would simply say the check could not be honored at this time without further explanation. How come these fraudulent checks make it so far into the system without being detected? Could this be made possible through the cooperation of multiple organizaions?
