Re: [Scam] just updated my hotjobs resume last night
said by goozlady  :My question is this: Is what they are asking people to do specifically illegal? (the receipt and transfer of funds, assuming the funds are genuine) If you declare everything you make, and keep your own accounting aboveboard, are you still violating any laws? I keep remembering all the people who have been nailed on tax evasion because that was the weak link. So, as long as the original bank instruments are legal and I declare the income and outgo, is there anything preventing me from doing this while it lasts? The funds they send you are from stolen credit cards. |

Can this be caught by my own bank, or do they not check? These funds were deposited and held for 2 weeks before being released. Is it possible for me to do it, and should I do some research of my own regarding the source of the funds, and can you suggest any websites that would have more detail about all of this?
I hate to sound like an idiotic Pollyanna. The only reason I'm giving this any credence is because it involves Russian (and other) dating and marriage websites, and I do know from personal experience that there is big legit money changing hands in this area. |

quote:
Regarding payment transfers, while some jobs may require an employee to make transfers for employers, legitimate employers making this request will go to extraordinary efforts to check the job seeker prior to making the hire. This would involve meeting the jobseeker in person and conducting rigorous interviews. This kind of job hire would not be made via email or even the telephone or a single meeting. And a legitimate employer would typically ask you to make transfers from their business accounts, not yours. You need to draw a line and understand that transferring money for employers from your personal bank account or personal PayPal account is off-limits, period.
