The fact of the matter is this whole situation is a scam. Often scam artist will reference a real company's name and address so when you do your research then it will come up clean. However if you actually try contacting the company using the information on their website and not the email you received (which is usually from a free email account like yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc), you'll usually find the company has no idea what you're referring to. But even if a scammer goes through this extra step of deceit, it's still easy to figure out it's a fat scam. It's nothing more than an elaborate check cashing/ wire transfer scam we've covered on our scam page: www.workathomenoscams.com/scams This is why I'm always preaching read that page from top to bottom because you'll find stories of other so called companies doing the same thing. The names may be different but the scam is always the same. In terms of the check or wire fraud, it always works as follows regardless of the name and other details. You receive a check or a fake deposit into your account, you take a portion of that money and they keep the rest. The checks and wires are always fake and you end up in a heap of trouble with your bank. End of story. Any variations before that doesn't matter. Once they start taking about checks, wiring money, etc, etc that's the end of the conversation. lol At the end of the day your instincts are usually correct in these situations. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. I'm mean think about it, why would a company offer you job that you never applied for. Furthermore why would they allow you to handle such large amounts of money without any interview, background check, references, face to face meeting, etc. It literally doesn't add up. But do your part and spread the word to the Attorney General. They will probably contact the legit company that this scammer may be imposing.

Hi Larry,

Thanks for sharing this information. The fact of the matter is this whole situation is a scam. Often scam artist will reference a real company’s name and address so when you do your research then it will come up clean. However if you actually try contacting the company using the information on their website and not the email you received (which is usually from a free email account like yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc), you’ll usually find the company has no idea what you’re referring to. But even if a scammer goes through this extra step of deceit, it’s still easy to figure out it’s a fat scam. It’s nothing more than an elaborate check cashing/ wire transfer scam we’ve covered on our scam page:

Recently, I received a job offer, unsolicited I might add, that seemed so good to be true, I investigated it to a point. It was from a company called Cash Advance Inc in Norfolk, VA. They wanted me to be a company executive. I had to be available from 2-4 hours a day. They would deposit $9000 into my bank account, money that they had received from their clients. I would check my email several times a day and I would receive an email telling me to wire funds from account via Western Union to one of their clients who needed cash. I would deduct 8% from the amount requested for transfer as my commission. In addition, they would pay me $970/week salary, so besides the salary, I would be earning 8% of the total monies that I would wire. As soon as the transaction had been completed, I was to email the company. Sounds like a great job for four hours a day? They stressed that they didn't want any of my login info for my bank account. I called the Attorney Generals office in Norfolk VA, told them about it and gave them the address and princioal of the company. They were listed as a legitimate company, but the Attorney Generals office thought it sounded fishy and urged me no to comply. They also wanted me to forward the emails I had received from the company to them and they were going to investigate. Have you heard of this and has anyone else been contacted by this company?
