Money Scams

Money transfer scams are one of the most common type of money scams. In this type of scam, scammers try to trick victims with fake email letters detailing the help required by victim to transfer money supposedly because it would cost too much to do it by other means, which is a lie. Here is an example of the type of emails victims receive:

Example Goodmorning Dear Sir/Madam, I am [so and so], CEO of company [so and so] which is located in [so and so]. We do services in [so and so] for [so and so] people across the world. We are currently seeking a representative to assist us in receiving payment from our customers across Europe, America, Canada and other places worldwide.

This is completely legal, and you are not required to have any capital. Your tasks will be simple: Firstly: you collect payment on our behalf from the clients, these payments come in the form of all types of checks. Secondly: you then deposit or cash payment at your bank. Thirdly: you take out your comission of 15% of each received payment for your services as our Rep, you will then send the rest of the money via Western Union to where we instruct. Isn't that a great deal!? A whole 15% to you, if you are interested in our offer, please send us your details, this includes full name, your address, city, state and zip code, phone number, your age and sex, also your current occupation. We hope you do not pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity. Thanks for your time, CEO of company [so and so].

*This is just a short version of what these emails will look like, in fact, they are usually long and inviting, almost like a story you can't help but finish read. Of course there are many different types of money scams, but most use this basic strategy: to trick you into thinking you can get something from nothing.
