It sounds very attractive, but a search on Google shows that these letters have been sent out to thousands of others.

Anyway, I answer Mr Mangu that I am interested.

4 months later I receive this from A.M.:

Dear Miss Young,

In doing research on the CMIEC letters for the Work-at-Home Check/Funds Processing Business fraud, I found your site: http://419.bittenus.com/CMIEC/

Thank you very, very much for spotting the scam and reporting it. The information below will help you flesh out your report.

The Work-at-Home Check/Fund Processing fraud originated in the Former Soviet Union countries and eventually found a home with the Romanian fraud rings.

It is an offshoot of the Nigerian Counterfeit Check scams that went into full proliferation end of January / beginning of February 2003.

At this point in time, the Romanian gangs and Nigerian gangs are working the Work-at-Home scam together. The gangs have joined hands. You can read more about the scam here: http://www.fraudaid.com/ScamSpeak/Nigerian/check_processing_scam.htm

Also, you will see my analysis of the one email I received that was forwarded by one of our viewers here: http://www.fraudaid.com/ScamSpeak/Nigerian/check_processing_letters/cmiec.htm

As an aside, we work with victims who are arrested in this scam for Internet Crimes, money laundering, and theft, as often happens.

A.M.

What elements to watch for - Red Flags: bullet The Payment Processing Business scam is always either for Work at Home or Part Time Work. bullet The job offer arrived through unsolicited email, snail mail, chat room, Instant Message, Private Message, Private Chat Room, phony company web site, posted on job web sites, posted on Help Wanted bulletin boards, posted in Classifieds (on or offline), response to posted resumes. bullet The hiring company is selling product internationally and needs a representative to accept checks in the customer's country. bullet The hiring company cannot process the checks it receives in its own country and needs someone outside the country to process the checks on its behalf. There is always a reason they cannot accept funds and want you to do so for them. There is no country in the world in which checks from another country cannot be cashed. bullet NOTE: This scam is becoming so effective that new variations are being developed daily. Please keep in mind that it is NOT the names or the reason for needing a representative that are important. It is the INTENT. If the intent is to get you to accept funds from a person with whom you are NOT dealing directly, and send those funds off to someone else, then it is a scam. The acceptance and wiring of the funds is called MONEY LAUNDERING. bullet The job does not require a knowledge of proper bookkeeping and accounting requirements. bullet There is no requirement that you be bonded and insured. bullet There is no background check performed to ensure that you are a trustworthy individual. bullet There is no requirement that you be properly licensed and registered to accept their funds, account for them, and file the proper tax forms to report the income. bullet There is no requirement that you open a bank account in the company's name in a local bank to receive the funds, as is proper and usual. bullet Checks are made out to you instead of the company. bullet Checks are made out to you without an exchange of product or service that you directly provided. bullet Money are orders made out to you without an exchange of product or service that you directly provided. bullet Funds that are wired into your account from a party to whom you did not directly provide your banking coordinates. bullet A request by the company that you open an account in your name at a specific bank, such as Bank of America or Citibank. bullet Any request that you transfer money you have accepted on their behalf by any means that is difficult to trace, i.e. by Western Union, PayPal, MoneyGram, Money Order, bank-to-bank to a bank in a country other than that of the hiring company, or by any other method.
