You’ve got to be kidding me. If you’re reading this and you don’t know already, I work as a consultant for a software company working implementation projects. I also have a background as a UNIX System Administrator. I’m not sure what on my resume pushed their buttons. I have a feeling nothing did, that they just spam monster accounts. Maybe that’s obvious, but I sometimes assume people are more intelligent than they really are.
I only had a one line reply that I use quite often.
Please explain to me what part of my resume made you think I would be interested in this position so I can remove it.
Does anyone else out there get these?
If anyone else is interested, feel free to email them….

It’s good to see that I wasn’t the only one to get it.
I was actually expecting to hear from someone asking me to remove at least the email address. Oh well, spam bots have at it…..
October 1st, 2006 at 6:11 am
I just received an e-mail like the one you are all talking about; and like all of you, I too looked up the name and found this site. It appears that the company, if we can call it that, is in search for people to scam of whom are in desperate need for work.. the add plays on emotion.

Increase available personal time;
Achieve financial independence in half the normal time (1-3 hours per day);

Pennsylvania Attorney General Corbett Warns Consumers About International Check Scam Targeting Job Hunters Who Post Their Resumes Online
Tuesday August 16, 12:47 pm ET
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050816/phtu024.html?.v=21
HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ — Attorney General Tom Corbett today issued a warning to consumers to be aware of an international check forging scam that has targeted residents across 18 states including Pennsylvania. The victims have all been job seekers who have posted their resumes online.
ADVERTISEMENT
Corbett said the con artists, operating in Turkey and possibly Latvia, typically send an e-mail to consumers as soon as they post their resumes on job search websites such as Careerbuilder.com. The person sending the e-mail claims to be a representative from the European company “Void Computers Inc.”
In the e-mail, the sender claims that the company has decided to hire the consumer and welcomes him or her as a new employee. The message continues with an explanation that the company needs help cashing checks from one of its “clients,” the State of Arkansas. Two separate State of Arkansas checks, one for $2,400 the other for $2,800, are made out in the consumer’s name and mailed to the consumer at home with instructions to cash the checks and wire the money to an address in Latvia. The target is told to subtract a 10 percent fee which he or she may keep.
The con artists encourage consumers to avoid banks and cash the checks at check-cashing outlets, liquor stores or other similar businesses.
Arkansas state and federal officials investigating the scam say the checks are counterfeit and the signatures are forged. The phony checks are excellent reproductions and contain the exact water marks, colors and other identifying symbols found on authentic Arkansas state checks. The checks also contain the same check number, 05I-0614300, believed to have been copied from an actual state check.
The Arkansas State Auditor reports that many consumers cashed the checks and wired the funds, however none of the checks were honored when they reached the state.
Corbett said a Lancaster County woman last month received an e-mail from the bogus company that found her name and address on her resume posted on Careerbuilder.com. She told the sender that she was not interested in working for them or cashing the checks. When they insisted that she participate, she repeatedly stated that she would contact the police if they mailed her the checks. Two weeks later, two separate checks totaling $5,200 were mailed to her home and she immediately reported the incident to the Arkansas Attorney General.
“This Lancaster County consumer said that the con artist refused to take no for an answer, even going so far as to claim that she didn’t have to pay taxes on her 10 percent take if she would cash the checks,” Corbett said. “The woman said she knew right away that it was a scam and couldn’t believe how brazen the thieves were even after she threatened to contact the police if the checks were mailed to her address.”
Corbett said this scam is similar to the Nigerian counterfeit check scam. In that illegal operation, consumers selling products on e-Bay were mailed cashiers checks that were several thousand dollars more than the purchase amount and then instructed to wire the change back to the buyer overseas. In those cases the banks cleared the checks and consumers learned weeks later that they were counterfeits.
Consumers are urged to contact the Office of Attorney General to report this or any other scam by calling 1-800-441-2555 or by visiting http://www.attorneygeneral.gov.
Arkansas Attorney General Mike Beebe announced that forged checks have turned up in Pennsylvania, Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

Oh my God!!!
I too received this e-mail along with a contract. I did sign and send back the contract with a copy of my ID. I got a little concern when they ask for my bank information. Then I
decided to search his name “Inese Veips” and foud all your comments.
November 6th, 2006 at 6:08 am
I got this exact scam mail this weekend, it looked very natural but too good to be true, required skills were zip compare to the money offered, I was skeptical and did not knew if the name Ines veips was male or female so i did a search on internet and this new scam was exposed immediatlly.
Many thanks people

I did receive the same email as noted at the top by Marc. This is a scam and thanks to folks like you that rest of the folks on the net get enlightened and educated. I do agree with Marc as why our resumes would get targeted cos I am too an IT Consultant. I wonder what type of verbiage on my resume got the Spam to select our emails?

Keep Safe

I just received the same email today. Off the bat I knew it was a scam. Several months ago a similar scam was being posted on craigslist.org. At first I was interested but when I realized it was a scam I emailed them to not send me anything. They started emailing me physical threats and also to other people who had wanted nothing to do with the scam. They were empty threats but I would watch out just the same.
January 14th, 2007 at 10:55 am
Thank you so much for all of your information. I left the email sitting in my junk mail for a while before I decided to look into it more, and now I’m very glad I did. Thank you so much!! (below is the actual text from the email)

I’m really glad this has been so helpful to everyone. I’d like to think someone seeing this has prevented then from falling for this scam.
January 15th, 2007 at 5:14 pm
They want your ID to put the checks in your name so that you can cash it, then wire it to their company. It’s global financial embezzlement. I’m glad you guys decided to post this. But I also want to hear from someone who has actually gone through the process and it worked for them. Anyone please share?
January 16th, 2007 at 2:40 pm
I just got one today and it was sent to SPAM@UCE.GOV plus a complaint to the attorney general in FL.
It had a new name on it.

January 16th, 2007 at 3:54 pm
It’s sad how many scams are out there, this is the second check cashing scam someone’s tried to pull on me. I’m glad this information is listed here, I never proceed with a company I don’t know anything about – and if you can’t google it there is a red flag. I have notified Monster.com and the Arizona Attorney General. Watch out for this one too; the scam first was a person pretending to be a broker for a foregin government official (ya right – not my car) hired to purchase my car I had listed in the Auto Trader, they wanted to send me a certified check for 12 thousand and the price of the car was only 7 thousand. I was supposed to cash the check and send them the difference via wire transfer western union, the check came from Canada. I had involved the local police but hit a dead end.
January 16th, 2007 at 9:55 pm
I received the e-mail, too, and forwarded it to the IRS and the Department of Homeland Security. Both agencies have departments dealing with these types of scams.
January 17th, 2007 at 11:03 am

Thanks everyone, for your postings – I almost got suckered! Summer-Exchange contacted me this week, and I thought it would be helpful to update everyone. The name being used this week has changed to Ingrida Lumere, and I tried to contact the above phone numbers listed by Frank. The attorney general’s office forwarded my call to the FBI, and the agent was quite interested in the new information I provided.
All of the postings above helped me, and thanks Marc, for getting this site online. It is truly unfortunate that someone else may visit this site tomorrow.

yes.. ingrida was the name on my email too.. this is rediculous.. it needs to be stopped!!!

I just received this email today… Upon researching the email, I came across your site. However, the email and the originating email address has changed ever so slightly. Wankers.
June 21st, 2007 at 1:50 pm
I received a similar email yesterday through CareerBuilder.com. Funny thing is, it’s almost an exact copy of the “Inese” email, but using the name Braxton McCray.
I sent a reply saying I was interested but I was sure they’d understand that I needed some more information about the company before I gave out any personal information. I asked for the name, address, phone number, and official website of the company (as none of this information was listed in the email.) I’m so glad I did not give them any personal info…although they probably have it anyways if they actually did see my resume!
The email came from braxton@monster.com. The “reply to” email address was: mccray.braxton@globalfundtransfering.com.
I assumed the name of the so-called “company” was Global Fund Transfering (which BTW is spelled transfer-r-ing!) so I tried to look it up online. I found NOTHING!!! I couldn’t even find any scam info on that “company”, so it may be a new one.
Thanks for giving the heads up! Hope this helps somebody!
