Have you run into any employment scams on Craigslist?

100% SCAM DO NOT for any reason give this criminal your home address. NO employer ever needs your home address before you have met in person and fill out your tax forms This is how the scam works 1 - you receive a counterfeit check/money order for $3000. Your bank can't tell if it's real or not because the counterfeiters copy real company names and use real account numbers 2- you are asked to deposit it,then wire $2500 through Western Union/Moneygram to some "travel agent" (NO travel agents ever accept Western Union, he would call his travel agent and pay with a CREDIT CARD if this was real) 3 - you check your account after 3 days and see $3000 is there and you think the check is good 4 - you send off the $2500 through Western Union to the scammer 5 - 4 weeks later your bank calls to say the check you deposited was actually counterfeit.

You now owe the bank $3000 + $45 NSF fees. As the bounced check was over $1000 your account is closed, you are put into CHEX System preventing you from opening any new account for 5 years, and you are investigated for bank fraud and possibly arrested 6 - you just lost $5545 of your own money: $3000 you owe your bank for the full amount of the bounced check + $45 NSF fees + $2500 you sent to the scammer NOBODY hires employees they have never met. Anyone from overseas that you have not met IN PERSON who offers you a job is always a scam Google money mule scam or check overpayment scam if it's too late and you already did give this criminal your home address, do not accept any delivery.

They will send the check through UPS or FedEx. DO NOT sign for it and tell anyone you live with not to sign for it. Tell the driver you will not accept the envelope and they need to return it to sender.

Once you sign for it, these criminals know where you live. If it's too late and you already signed for it, print out copies of ALL emails you received with full headers and bring them with the check and original envelope to your local police and report that you are the victim of a money mule scam. DO NOT reply to the "employer" for any reason - the next step is they will send you all sorts of threatening emails saying they are bringing a lawsuit against you or calling the FBI.

Don't believe any of it.

Yes, this is the classic cheque scam. Basically, Western Union doesn't verify that money orders are real. So they send you the large sum in the form of a money order, and instruct you to then send another portion of that money to a third party.

The third party is usually the same person under a pseudonym, or else an accomplice. So you send off the money, but then it turns out that the money order you received initially was fake. By the time you find out, you've already sent your real money to the scammer, and there is nothing you can do to recover it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
