| Anyone ever heard of a company called "Navy Finance..."? Note to Mods: if you feel it appropriate to merge this with my thread on Treasury Finance, Inc you should feel free to do so.
You may remember my »Anyone ever heard of a company called "Treasury Finance Inc" thread from a couple months ago...well...this one is in the same vein. I am looking for information on a company called "Navy Finance and Payroll, Inc". They have a CSR position posted at »www.careerbuilder.com/JobSeeker/···ostID=US. A Google search does not turn any info on this company, thus I am wondering, as with "Treasury Finance, Inc" from my other thread, if this is a scam. Any info would be appreciated.

This has to be a con. That kind of pay plus a company car for HS ed and no experience?
Likely one of two things -
Identity theft
Money laundering scam. |

I mean, just because someone doesn't move and/or register a pulse, that doesn't mean s/he can't make a valuable contribution to a given company. Stop being so narrow-minded!

I sent my resume to Navy Finance and Payroll. It sound like a money laundering company. Here's what they replied back with:
For example:
$7,500 you will receive to your bank account from our client.
Then you go to the your bank, withdraw this money in cash and then go to nearest Money Gram or Western Union department and send it,
your salary in this example is 8 percents = $600, $6,900.00 you will transfer via western union or MG to our head office.
Since this moment the task of our company completed, we will send orders to both parts , sender and receiver.
Since then main service was transferring money worldwide and exchange the currency at the same time.
Within 8 years of hard work the company acquired international standing and managed to develop into a global financial holding
having the staff of 3000 people and representative offices in more than 30 countries.
Through these years we are keeping optimizing our services to the client's needs and update our technologies.
We transfer money and exchange currencies in over 20 money units.
I certainly don't want to give me my bank account to deposit money to. Yikes! Hope this helps. |

Best bet is that when you never heard of the company don't do business with them.
"It sound like a money laundering company."
Looks like one to me too, Stay clear. |
|
| Overall it sounds like, as with "Treasury Finance, Inc", the advice is to stay as far away as possible from this company as it is a money laundering type scam. I, for one, will certainly be heeding such advice. I do wonder (and it does sound like logicwoman did the smart thing here by not sending her bank account info) why people fall for things like this.

Con games work largely because of greed. Everyone likes the thought of making money without having to do much to earn it.
Nowadays, unfortunately, there's also a measure of desperation for confidence tricksters to play off, too. If you haven't worked and/or eaten in a while, it's a lot easier to convince yourself not to ask too many questions when something like this comes up, even when the arrangement appears too good to be true.

good grief. for a company boasting a huge staff in so many countries, they couldnt find a school that had a grammar class? I thought they were getting better at one point. that was pitiful

Definitely a fraud. Also related to Remington Finance. These sites are being used to recruit money mules and to try and give some degree of credibility to their scams. |

Definite scam. The kicker is the Money Gram/Western Union. That is how they avoid the Postal fraud penalties.
What happens is the check they send you is bad, but by the time you find that out they already have the money and you now need to pay your bank the face value plus penalties.

I know this one, have heard stories on the news of people who got suckered in by companies like the one I have posted about in this thread. Fortunately, this is one of the oldest scams in the book (and thus should be well known/understood by now), unfortunately many people still get suckered into scams like this.

Or maybe this is a calculated risk on their part, seeing as how the criminal penalties for wire fraud are less severe (?) than those for mail fraud?

Yes, but postal penalties are much more severe. The wire fraud, I believe, are a slap on the wrist and pay a fine much less than what you scammed.
