New Type of Russian Dating Scam?
We received this letter from our of our viewers recently:
This scammer posted a job on a work from home board.
They claim to be sellers of jewelry ect...
You will be asked to set up an account where funds could be wired. It will be your job to redistribute the money to buyers who had purchased products from an ebay type auction.
They promise to pay you 8% of everything you process and they promise to pay all fees.
They wire $10,000 to your account . You in turn send it it to the people they requested via Western Union.
You assume you are safe since there is no SSN attached to the account nor do you put personal funds in it. Nothing could be further from the truth.
A few days after the transfer, the account will be hit for a large amount of money. Since the money is not in the account, the
original bank says that the $10,000 transfer was fraudulent and that your small, local bank must pay them back.
Therefore, your account would be overdrawn nearly $10,000 and you are liable.
