The following is in reference to CareerBuilder.com, an online jobs board, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

CareerBuilder Job Scam

I posted my resume on www.careerbuilder.com; I was solicited by a potential employer affiliated with CareerBuilder, Niamax Limited. The email was sent on CareerBuilder letterhead, as are many emails I receive from the CareerBuilder site. The soliciting company's website is www.niamax-ltd.com; this company is listed as doing business in the United Kingdom.

After expressing my interest with their company, I was emailed a legal document (employment contract) to email or fax back to them. The employer then conducted a preliminary "background check" on me and offered me a job. I agreed to work part-time for them as an independent contractor, processing payments from their customers in the United States. I was instructed that I needed to process these payments through Wells Fargo Bank, and would need to obtain a Wells Fargo Bank account if I currently didn't own one.

I accepted two payments (online transfers) into my Wells Fargo Bank account from two other Wells Fargo Bank customers that were supposedly Niamax customers. I was instructed to send the bulk of each payment to a specified business associate, after subtracting my 6% commission, and the Western Union transfer fee. I sent both payments to business associates in Athens, Greece by Western Union; both payments were picked up same day. One man's name was Cornet Deglos, the other was Cleys Mercken.

Wells Fargo Bank has now reversed the initial online customer transfers into my account, stating the transactions were unauthorized (hacked from the accounts of other Wells Fargo Bank customers). I am now responsible for the gross amount ($1977.30) of both unauthorized transactions into my account because I withdrew the money and sent it on, as instructed by my employer, Niamax Limited.

Wells Fargo Bank is not interested in discussing the fact that their system was breached by a hacker, or the fact that I only processed the payments. I asked Wells Fargo Bank why holds were not placed on these online transfers into a NEW account, but they gave no answers, and didn't provide me with an explanation.

Additionally, I notified CareerBuilder's Integrity Team regarding their affiliation with this employer. The representative stated CareerBuilder can't screen all employers utilizing their website, and that I should have read their fraud disclaimer, which is obscurely located in fine print on their website.

Well they are at it again I suggest you forward all information on this company to the FBI there are several different names they go by. If it involves giving out any banking info for processing and then using western union proceeds for any reason JUST SAY NO. Come on people use your head in this world of Electronic transactions why would they need YOU to proccess payments in this way, be CAREFULLLLLLL when seeking a job If you have already falllen into the SCAM close your bank account and report it to the authorities.I might also advise those of you on here to omitt your social security number from your resume if it is on there as well as your date of birth. I recieved an invite back after submitting my resume on career builder to an ad for a payroll company or so I thought and it was the SCAM. My reply back to them was not something I would repeat on here but lets just say I made it clear to them I would not be accepting thier generous offer to rip me or anyone else off, and the email was sent on to the FBI

I have received this same email from three different accounts in the past 10 days, all show a different hotmail address as the contact. My reaction was to submit it to the FBI, I don't know what, if anything, they will do with the information.

To All Who've Posted Here,
I also received a suspicous email and started searching for answers. I found this forum and saw many people have also received similar offers from overseas companies. It seems that both the authorities and CareerBuilder aren't extremely concerned with catching these individuals so I believe it is up to us to inform each other about potential scams and fraudulant activities.

I received this email 07/29/09, so apparently they've been doing this for some time as some of the posts here date back to 2006. My email supposedly came from CandidateEmail@Site.CareerBuilder.com but when I clicked 'Reply' it apparently came from Carmen.OnlyGadgets@BestJobCandidate.com.

When I researched this, I found this post http://www.scam.com..?t=118884. I found another post about bestjobcandidate.com here: http://www.scamwarn..=9&t=3108.

DO NOT MAKE ANY DEALS OR TRANSACTIONS WITH ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH BESTJOBCANDIDATE.COM.

Protect yourself and do not send any information if you are wary of the recipient. Do your research and remember something I found on almost every scam-avoiding website, 'If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.'

Information on CareerBuilder.com said to forward the suspicious email to TSST@CareerBuilder.com, below is what I sent to them and the original email with the bogus offer.

I just hope this helps someone else to avoid their scams and maybe even catch some of these people.



Sent to: TSST@CareerBuilder.com
To Whom It May Concern:

I received this email and was immediately suspicious. I did some research online and found several forums that discussed similar email offers. When I clicked 'Reply' the address that came up was not candidateemail@site.careerbuilder.com but instead was carmen.onlygadgets@bestjobcandidate.com. When I researched that name I found several listings describing it as Scam and Fraud. Your website, CareerBuilder.com, says to forward the suspicious email to this address, so that's what I'm doing. Hope this is helpful in some way to catch these internet scam and fraud individuals.

This has changed my opinion on Careerbuilder and online job searching in general.

I used to think I was smarter than this, but I was finally fooled. This is a scam! I went as far as creating an account and having the money wired to me. When I was told to wire it via Western Union to Russia, I started asking questions, and that's when I knew I had been conned! They threatened me with their 'security department,' the state police, and a lawsuit. I think they're scared tactics, but that one story with the guy on 2008-12-10, page 18, scares the crap out of me! Are they going to send hired goons to 'rough me up?' Although, I never touched the money, stayed in the account. This message board has been a great help in getting me through this ordeal! Along with this website that someone posted early on in the thread.

http://www.fraudaid.com

If you've been screwed, read through this entire thread (all of the pages). Some of the stories are very helpful and that's how I found that link.

I notified my bank and they are investigating it now. I'm in the process of taking identity theft measures. I feel so violated. Just about the only thing they didn't get was my SSN. I haven't notified the Feds yet.

I have seen this scam (or some variation) a couple of times.
I've gone as far as requesting information, but once they ask me for a bank account number all my red flags come out.

I respond with an e-mail requesting to speak with someone directly as I have a couple of questions to ask regarding this business.
I have never received a response to that request.

Bottom line --- never ever feel like you've been hired to do something productive when you've never even had a conversation with your new employer... you have no idea who they are or where they are.

Horrible people preying on those that need work... just awful.
