How do I spot a job scam?
1.) The message is for a position that you did not apply for
2.) The message is from or asking for a reply to an email address from a free email provider (ie: @yahoo.com, @gmail.com)
3.)The position is for a work at home job. Let's get real here most of these positions are hard to come by.
4.) The message provides no phone and/or no mailing address
5.) The company does not have a website or the website was created in the last year. Do a whois lookup to see when a domain was created.
6.) The job has few qualifications
7.) The message is written with poor english
8.) A google search for the company finds little or no history for the company
*** This list is not all inclusive. Remember if you have to ask yourself if it's a scam it probably is!
What should I do if I provided my information to scammers?
- Do not respond to further communications.
- If you sent bank Information: Call your bank immediately and tell them what happened. They should be able to change your account number or cancel your account.
- If you are still concerned you might want to enroll in credit monitoring such as LifeLock Identity Theft Prevention
- You can also file a claim with The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). They are probably overloaded with these types of claim though, so I would not expect an individual response.
- Post a comment below with any information you have on this scam to inform other people to try and avoid any future victims. Post the email you received with exact wording if different from original posted so when people search for terms they find this warning.

I have received the same email, and got worried, that people like these get access to our details on the totaljobs website.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU TELL THIS VICTORIA GREEN NOT TO EVER CONTACT YOU, AND NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS TO ANY SCAM LIKE THIS, AS YOU WILL END UP LOOSING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, YOU WILL BE FORBIDDEN FOREVER TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT IN THE SAME BANK OR ANY OTHER BANK - IF THEY BELONG TO THE SAME FINANCIAL GROUP.
there are so many scams like this nowadays, and it makes me mad, that people still believe, they will get 3K by sitting home transferring money....BE AWARE GUYS!

I got exactly this same scam. I am in the UK and emails came from abroad. They can't even get their company name consistent from one email to the next. Advice is not to contact them again and don't give any personal details or ban their email address. Mine came from totaljobs. They clone the original companies website, so don't touch it.
