check, either a cashiers check or personal check. As soon as you get their check, they ask you to send a monimal fee. In this case they are talking millions, that is way higher than the ones I have seen. The ones I have dealt with include tens of thousands. The people get the check, think everything is ok, and then send out a check of their own. It is illegal even if the person was legit, because this is how people launder money, it becomes harder to trace after trading hands several times. Anyway, the scammer hopes that once you recieve their check, you immediatly cut them one of your own and send it to them. Yours is good and it wipes your account out, but you hope you are about to get it returned plus some. Theirs check however is bad and you get stuck trying to figure out what happened. Your right, if you got brain cells it wont work under the premise of "if it looks to good to be true, it probably is!" But many older people who actually do have a large amount of savings, get scammed by this. Thus the large blatant email to many people. They know 99.5% of the people will trash it, but that .05% make them 100s of thousands of dollars. They even have these scams on monster.com and careerbuilder.com. I applied for a job on monster as a finance account manager. got an email several days later saying I was awarded the job, thought that very strange being a professional position and they didn't even intrview me. They then went into the speal about cashing checks within the states into my personal bank account and then immediatly sending them a cashiers check. I know it was a scamright then and reported it. The job websites have been cracking down after many complaints from users though.
Drive a TT and you'll realize that turbo should be a standard option on all cars!!! |
