Employment Offer Scams
.
If you have posted your resume, with at least some personal data accessible by potential employers, on a legitimate employment site you will likely receive dozens of bogus employment offers. You will receive job offers to become a “financial representative” of an overseas company. The reason they want to hire you is that they have problems accepting money from Canadian or US customers and they need you to handle those payments. You will be paid 5 to 20 percent commission per financial transaction.
When you apply you will be asked for all your personal information and financial data including bank account information and maybe even access. You will become a victim of:
* identity theft,
* money stolen from your account
* You may receive fake checks or money orders. You will be asked to deposit the payments and then send them a cheque minus your commission. It will take weeks or even months for their phony cheque to bounce and by that time they will have cashed your check. You will end up owing money to your bank, who will NOT be sympathetic to your problem.
Here are some examples of Employment Offer Scams:

My name is John Clark and I own a company that sells textile and
fabric material in London, I am looking for a representative in the United States Of America And Canada who will be working for me as a part time worker and i will be willing to pay 10% for every transaction, which wouldn’t affect your present state of work, someone who would help me receive payments from my customers in the states, I mean someone that is responsible and reliable, because the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive, I am working on setting up a branch in the state, so for now i need a representative in the United States Of America who will be handling the payment aspect for our company.
These payments are in order or cashier’s cheque and they wouldcome to you in your name if you are willing to assist as a representative, so all you need to do is cash the money order deduct your percentage and western union Charges then wire the rest back..
You are entitled to 10% commission for any transaction(that is for any U.S POSTAL MONEY ORDERS or CASHIER’s CHEQUE ETC ).This transaction is risk free and legal from the American Government. Please reply only if you will like to work from home part-time and get paid weekly without leaving or it affecting your present job.
Please get back to me with your Complete Name,Residential Address and Telephone Number.
These payments are in order or cashier’s cheque and they wouldcome to you in your name if you are willing to assist as a representative, so all you need do is cash the money order deduct your percentage and western union Charges then wire the rest back.
Thanks,

How To Whitelist Contest News in your Spam Filter
.
With the advent of outrageous volumes of unwanted email these days, it’s unfortunate that legitimate email publications are not being seen by some of the readers who enjoy those publications. There is much fear today that the email publishing / marketing industry
is in serious trouble, due to mistakes in filtering when legitimate email is erroneously tagged as unwanted email.
While we applaud the anti-spam industry for removing the plethora of unwanted email from many of our mailboxes, from time to time, some legitimate email publications are mistaken as unwanted.
Sometimes, this results in our mailings bouncing back, with requests for us to respond to challenge/response messages to prevent future filtering. However, due to the size of our list, it’s nearly impossible for us handle the volume of such requests.
To that end, please realize that we want our readers to always anticipate and enjoy the valuable information that our publication delivers.
If you currently use an anti-spam program or service, we ask that you take just a minute or two to add our publication to your “safe” or permitted email sender list. This usually involves simply adding our sending address (From:) to your whitelist, safelist, or list of priviledged senders. This is commonly known as whitelisting a publication.
Please refer to the following whitelisting instructions you can use to whitelist Contest News, depending on the filtering solution you use:

the job of putting us into your “People I Know” list.
