Gold Star Careers Is A Scam (Career Networks)

The fake job company Career Networks now has branched out to offer fake employment on an additional name...Gold Star Careers, located at the URL of http://www.goldstarcareers.com/. It's a carbon copy of the same front page of Career Networks contained in this blog elsewhere.

I just WISH there was some sort of recourse to shut these scammers down!!

Wujiang Wanlida Textitle Company Job Scam

Funny, no faster than I posted about Career Networks, another scam email about a scam job came in from China or allegedly China. You can never be too sure these days.

This one is a bit interesting because the company hiring needs you as an employee to have "a good credit rating with your bank. and may also have a line of credit (LOC) or equity line of credit with your bank. This is to boast our confidence in
you and to also ensure that the problems of funds misappropriation is
avoided."

That's sort of funny to me to say that about needing a good credit rating with your bank and a line of credit to boost confidence that I won't, as an employee divert funds for my own good.

And this desire for me having an excellent credit rating is supposed to make me feel better about a job with this scammer?

I am not sure I really do.

But I digress, here's the verbatim email I received:

Intake Representative Job Scam By Career Networks

Hey everyone, well, after a few months of relative quiet, Career Networks appears to be coming back again offering fake jobs to lure you in and then giving you information about how to further your college education.

This particular offer shown below comes from Mary Ashford, an HR manager with a company giving a convincing description of why this should be one I should apply for with their company.

She doesn't mention she won't return emails asking for more details about the job like its location.

No way, that would mean she or he or it would have to divulge more information that is of somewhat great benefit for job seekers.

I have read and posted comments from others about changing your email address to keep these types of emails from coming to a main account when you are job seeking but I've decided to keep the email the same and continue to document these types of job email scams.

I too am again looking for work after my last job fell through.

Anyone out there have any LUCK with actual jobs with Career Networks? You can read back on the blog history to learn more about my experience and the experience of others with this totally fake job website/organization.

Good luck everyone!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Steven Alexander Fake Job "2010 year offer for USA citizens. New Job vacations"

Well, it's been a little while since I've received fake job scams but this one arrived in my email box today. Here's the verbatim email allegedly from a person by the name of Steven Alexander with a reply to email address of steven.alexanderpjx@hotmail.com which goes completely contrary to the letter that says as below it was "This is not a Bulk Message. E-mail marketing campaign was officially bought from Yahoo Mail!"

But anyway, here's the verbatim email:

Hello,

We are European company, searching for partners in USA. Being formed in 1999, we have great experience in international finance and law areas. We have wide network of partners and customers in Europe, Australia, Asia. We provide our customers with high-level financial services, such as incorporation, account services, cashing and money transfers, loans. We also offer our clients legal services. We are member of EBA (European Business Association), German Consumer and Business Network (GCBN) and associated member of European Legal Advisors League. We also are in close contact with major European banks, such as BNP Paribas, Drezdner Bank and Parex Banka.

If you have any questions or want to submit application form, please, visit our website at www.xpressfinances.com

We are looking for partners in USA. Vacancy is called Financial Manager.
Our requirements are:
Age - 21+
USA citizenship
Computer+Internet
Good credit rating

If you are existing business owner (own LLC or S-Corporation), we can offer great opportunities as most of our big clients work with companies only, and amounts that you will be working with, will be from USD30,000 to USD150,000 per transfer. Personal Financial Managers (who have personal bank account), can earn from USD3,000 to USD9,000 a month.

Our job is commission based, you get 5% from incoming transfer, and all fees are paid from our part. We can arrange up to 3 transfers per week after we are confident you can work with big amounts of money.

About taxes. You are responsible for your income, for 5%. 95% of the transfer is our company income, and we pay taxes here. We have consultings with IRS and got oficial response that partner is not responsible for taxes for 95% of transfer.

Last one, why do we need you? There is a law in European Union, that forces companies to pay approx 20% from incoming transfer as Value Added Tax (VAT) from any transfer received from overseas. But if we get transfer from our partner (you act as our agent in USA), we have to pay almost 3,5% from that amount. That saving allows us to give you income, and make our services cheaper than other companies. Everything is confirmed with authorities, we are working for more than 3 years with that scheme, and had no problems at all.
For you, that job means new contacts, income, career. There are no investments upfront, our company pays for anything.

If you have any questions or want to submit application form, please, visit our website at www.xpressfinances.com or email us at fxfinexpress@googlemail.com

Thanks for your time and God Bless.

P.S. This is not a Bulk Message. E-mail marketing campaign was officially bought from Yahoo Mail!

Oh yeah it's still a scam. Anyone else have any comments on it? I'll post more later.
