But guys, they are partnered with legitimate buisnesses like PayPal, Bank of America, Chase, Visa, Wells Fargo, and Western Union. It must therefore be legit!!!

Plus all their officers, they look soooo trustworthy.

No, THIS ONE is legit for sure. A cousin of a friend of a friend of mine met someone who thought about doing it and now they're a squillionaire... i think. Sounds a bit like getting people to go around with no remuneration for their time, distributing literature for whatever people are willing to pay. But maybe that's a topic for another forum. Surely no one would go in for these kind of things.

Ok so I ell for this scam but i wrote the guy back telling him i wasnt interested. He does have my name and address yes i know im a retard thanks but what should i do when i get the checks in the mail?

kls

Welcome Insane and wow what a long screen name so i will just call you insaneyou are in good company

Jeffro

Some suggestions for when you receive the cheques ('checks' for our American readers):

1) Do nothing
2) Mark it 'Return to Sender'
3) Report the intended recipient to the relevant authorities (somewhat futile)
4) Cash the cheques and wait for a bill and maybe fraud charges.

I would suggest either option 1 or 2, and hope they assume you gave them a false address.

OK. Here's the deal:

On contacts it says this:
"Audit Market Inc."
276049, Latvia, Riga, Brivibas str., 149
Phone: +3719310000

This is a Latvian address. The phone number is a WAP access number. For those not 'in the know' WAP is for accessing the internet, like in the modem days, but for mobile devices, cell phones and PDA's etc.

The IP address for "Audit Market Inc." 212.93.96.65

Belongs to the RIPE servers and related to '212.93.96.0 - 212.93.98.255' Latvijas Mobilais Telefons SIA, the same people who's telephone WAP access number is show above.

SO, I would say it a Russian scam, not a Latvian one.

PS. and why would this legitimate company with so many recommendations and awards need someone to cash cheques for them if they are partners with major backing institutions.

Is this a scam?
