    I just received an email today from [email protected] that stated they found my resume on careerbuilder.com (that's funny, I don't even remember submitting a resume there). It was very similar to what you have posted:

    The link leads to: http://freud-gmbh.com/?reg

    Being that I recently studied the employee training for Western Union less than a month ago, I recognized right away that it was a scam.

    Shame on these people for taking advantage of people during these hard times and making them even harder!

    Thank you for this post, and hopefully more people will do their research before jumping into a "too good to be true" venture!

    I just got an email from "Scott Atchley" stating that I had been selected to be "check assist manager." What a bunch of bullshit! I knew it was a scam right away, I mean, really?

    Here's what the email said exactly;

    Dear M,
    Our Organization is pleased to extend to you an offer for the position of a "Check Assist Manager".
    Basic requirements:

    - US residency;
    - an opportunity to check your email several times a day;
    - computer with internet access and e-mail address;
    - Responsibility
    - Age: at least 21;
    We trust that your experience will have a great value for our team.
    To apply for this job, please visit our web-site.

    Then I was directed to a form on their website at http://frankfurter-gmbh.com/?reg.

    They said that they had found my resume on careerbuilder (I never submitted one their) and that the job would pay about $600 a week.

    Do not fall for this scam. Like the commenter said above do you really need it explained why this is a scam?

    As Natalie said, shame on these bastards! Times are hard enough right now without idiots like this.

    Also, next if you google the physical address of this location, "Rue Charles Calmette 6
    Berlin Berlin 13405"

    you will see this is an actual church location by the name of "Charismatic Daughter Congregation of the Christliches Zentrum Berlin" with the same phone number used on the whois of 331 25 72.

    So this scammer gives us a church telephone number and supposedly it is is located at this location...

    Yeah right. SCAM!!!

    Forgive my ignorance, but what is he trying to gain from this scam? Am I supposed to send him my banking info or something? I got the exact same one after applying for an attorney position. It was obviously a scam, but I don't see the point.

    To anonymous right above me, gee, it's people like you that can't see what's going on although it's pretty clear. Look at the job description.."The general duties of this job is receiving payments [ wire transfers and bank checks ] from our customers in US.
    Every money transfer will follow with detailed directions." That means you receive checks and get wire transfers supposedly into your account. Your own checking account and then you take that money and wire or send it somewhere else. Later on the checks you are accepting are determined to be fraud but you've already wired or mailed money elsewhere before that happens. Then you are stuck with the amount you sent out that didn't exist in the first place. So you pay a fee and the checks you get are forgeries and not legitimate. DO YOU THINK ANY SCAMMER IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A CHECK OR A WIRE TRANSFER THAT IS LEGITIMATE IN ANY DOLLAR AMOUNT? Geez!!

    To anon two above that doesn't see what the scammer gets out of this...is your personal information to supposedly "pay" you and your good money that you send out thinking this job scam is a real job and when the money he supposedly sends to you by check is a forgery and the wire transfer is actually fraudulent overseas. GET WITH IT!!

    They USED my name and last name. Could not believe it, although I recognized the scam right away.

    One thing I wanted to tell you all. Just do not be so mean. People who ARE looking for a job, already facing difficult times, being humiliated by these scam emails daily, really DO NOT NEED to receive extra anger for asking a totally legitimate question: what the heck do they want from me? Some of us just do not get money issues, but really, there's

  • I have been looking for a full time job since I graduated last May. In the past I have received emails from employers that were not spam, but ended up in my spam folder anyway. Just earlier today I got an email from Samara Pohl from Menno Falck GMBH and I thought it was interesting. It wasn't until after I registered on their site that I found out it was a scam. What do I do? Do I just call the banks if I receive any checks or what?
