http://www.nbty.comLet me know if this is a legit job?
Remember only 1 out of 57 internet job offerings are legitmate, the rest are scams.
First clue. They ask for the sex fo the applicant. A clear cut violation of EEOC laws. An employer can ask about your sex only if it is relevant to the necessitities fo the job. In other words, someone of the opposite sex couldn't do the job. No legitmate company would set itself up for an EEOC law suit with this question.
Second clue, they want you to process the payments to employees by check. Sounds like they want you to deposit an instrument and then write someone else a check on it. Old Scam. You send out the money, and then the bank sends back the checks you deposited as no good, and you have to pay the bank back.
An legitmate company will use a CPA or book keeping company to write and track employee salary, because of deductions and with holdings required to be sent to the government.
It has other things screaming "SCAM" if you analyze it.
noLet me know if this is a legit job?
400 bucks a week with hardly anything to do?
HA! Scam.Let me know if this is a legit job?
Dont trust it. They wouldnt ask for this over the internet. not legit
Definitely sounds like bullshit to me. If its too good to be true, it usually is. If you want to, check it out. Put it this way though, if you end up working for them and making a sale... make sure you get the merchandise before you send them any money.
Sounds like it's a borderline pyramid scheme type of thing. It never hurts to call, but when a job listing is devoted more to convincing you to apply then informing you of responsibilities, it's a red flag. They sound a bit like you are interviewing them, rather than the other way around. You can look up a lot of companies on the Better Business Bureau website as well.
I'm not sure how they plan to get your money but that is the plan.
For one, do not give your birth date.
Also, sounds like a scam to get your info so they steal your identity. There is such high unemployment right now, this sounds too good to be true.
Sorry, happy job hunting.
It's like your mother and grandmother told you long ago: "There is no free lunch!" And "If it sounds too good to be true, chances are that it isn't true!"
I've gotten involved with one or two of these kinds of firms since I was laid-off; and they haven't panned out!
cool!
I contacted the HR dept at NBTY, which is a large company. They said that it's a scam. I forwarded the e-mail I received from "aaron smith" and a copy of the original newspaper ad looking for a "bookkeeper" to the real NBTY HR Dept.

Chris. "
Just curious but i feel like this is another scam? What say you?Macdonald and Associates / mystery shopper scam?
100% scam.
There is no mystery shopper job.
The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "secretary/assistant/accountant" and will demand you cash a large fake check sent on a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number and send most of the "money" via Western Union or moneygram back to the scammer posing as the "training manager" while you "keep" a small portion. When your bank realizes the check is fake and it bounces, you get the real life job of paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and all the bank's money you sent to an overseas criminal.
Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.
When you refuse to send him your cash he will send increasingly nasty and rude emails trying to convince you to go through with his scam. The scammer could also create another fake name and email address like "FBI@ gmail.com", "police_person @hotmail.com" or "investigator @yahoo.com" and send emails telling you the job is legit and you must cash the fake check and send your money to the scammer or you will face legal action. Just ignore, delete and block those email addresses. Although, reading a scammer's attempt at impersonating a law enforcement official can be extremely funny.
Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.
Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.
6 "Rules to follow" to avoid most fake jobs:
1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one.
2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order.
3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity.
4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone.
5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram.
6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site.
Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed 'red flags' and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason.
If you google "fake check cashing job", "fraud Western Union scam", "money mule moneygram scam" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam.

Online Personal assistant... a scam?
can someone please tell me if im being scammed?! she replied to my job ad on gumtree.. my gut tells me YES lol
I am Kelly Bynes , 44yrs of age, I'm an entrepreneur and investor by profession and I have been pretty successful in a handful of ventures I get involved in, from the Angel Investment Network in Canada and United Kingdom to various welfare and community service programs. I most very often get my hands occupied, so it is imperative for me to have a worthy assistant who can monitor and keep me up to date with my activities.This position is home-based and flexible, working with me is basically about instructions and following them. My only fear is that I may come at you impromptu sometimes, so i need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings.
As my personal assistant, your activities among others will include:
*Create and modify documents using Microsoft Office
*Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring.
*Scheduling programmes, flights and keeping me up to date with them.
*Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence while I'm away.
*Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
*Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities..

*Good planning, communication and organization skills

I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point as I am presently in United States for a summit. I will be back in Three Weeks time.
I think you're the right person for this post, Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules. It's a part-time, work from home basis and the flexibility means that there will be busier weeks than others. So it's a little difficult judging the exact number of hours you'll be doing per week. If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extra while you do something else on the side. As I have said, I'd want us to get a head start with things as soon as possible. I do have a pile up of work and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with. I hope we can meet up with the workload eventually. Permit me to use the coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards all this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine.
I really need to find the perfect person for this job and i am confident you can take up the challenges. On the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us.I'm online most of the time as I am hard of hearing so I prefer we contact each other through E-mails but if there is need for me to call, I will be glad to do that. I am glad you are willing to work with me and i promise to be a good boss. I am also glad on the commitment in working. I have been checking my files and what i would want you to do for me next week is to run some errands out to some of the orphanage home which I do every month. The funds will be in form of Cashier check, it will be sent over to you from one of my clients and i have some list to email you once you received the funds. You will make some arrangements by buying some stuff for the kids in the nearest store around you so you can mail them out. I will get you more information on that.

Kelly Bynes ...Online Personal assistant... a scam?
100% scam.
There is no job. There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money.
The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "secretary/assistant/accountant" and will demand you cash a large fake check sent on a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number and send most of the "money" via Western Union or moneygram back to the scammer posing as the "supply company" while you "keep" a small portion. When your bank realizes the check is fake and it bounces, you get the real life job of paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and all the bank's money you sent to an overseas criminal.
Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing.

100% SCAM.Online Personal assistant... a scam?
Of course you are!Online Personal assistant... a scam?
sounds like it
100% SCAM
First it's a scam to steal your identity by asking for all of your personal details
Then they pay you with counterfeit cheques/money orders asking you to deposit, keep a %, then wire the balance to the 'orphanage' through Western Union/Moneygram. This is called money laundering
NOBODY would hire a personal assistant they had never met and would NEVER ask a complete stranger they only know on the internet to handle any sort of financial transactions. These are criminal gangs, often run by the Russian mafia, looking for suckers to launder their criminal money for them. And guess who goes to prison for this?
Do not respond for any reason and report the post to Gumtree to get the ad removed before someone actually falls for it
Just google the odd sentence from the first paragraph "I most very often get my hands occupied, so it is imperative for me to have a worthy assistant who can monitor and keep me up to date with my activities." and see how many other times this same exact sentence has been reported in job scams

and several hundred more
SCAM, and there it was at the bottom, cashiers cheque. You must be able to see this is the usual money laundering/bank scam. She will ask for your bank details and ID and there we go. Your account will be emptied.
I think we could all see it before we finished reading it.
Delete.
You will get a cashier's check. It wil lbe fake.
By law, a bank has to clear it within a few days, but it can bounce months later.
(and it will)
They will require you to wire or send money back. (or buy something)
They may even require you to give them your checking account details.
You will be out the funds for the cashiers check, plus the money you sent to this person

Kelly Bynes ...Online Personal assistant... a scam?
100% scam.
There is no job. There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money.
The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "secretary/assistant/accountant" and will demand you cash a large fake check sent on a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number and send most of the "money" via Western Union or moneygram back to the scammer posing as the "supply company" while you "keep" a small portion. When your bank realizes the check is fake and it bounces, you get the real life job of paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and all the bank's money you sent to an overseas criminal.
Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.
If you google "fake check cashing job", "fraud Western Union scam", "money mule moneygram scam" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam.
100% SCAM.Online Personal assistant... a scam?
Of course you are!Online Personal assistant... a scam?
sounds like it
100% SCAM
First it's a scam to steal your identity by asking for all of your personal details
Then they pay you with counterfeit cheques/money orders asking you to deposit, keep a %, then wire the balance to the 'orphanage' through Western Union/Moneygram. This is called money laundering
NOBODY would hire a personal assistant they had never met and would NEVER ask a complete stranger they only know on the internet to handle any sort of financial transactions. These are criminal gangs, often run by the Russian mafia, looking for suckers to launder their criminal money for them. And guess who goes to prison for this?
Do not respond for any reason and report the post to Gumtree to get the ad removed before someone actually falls for it
Just google the odd sentence from the first paragraph "I most very often get my hands occupied, so it is imperative for me to have a worthy assistant who can monitor and keep me up to date with my activities." and see how many other times this same exact sentence has been reported in job scams

and several hundred more
SCAM, and there it was at the bottom, cashiers cheque. You must be able to see this is the usual money laundering/bank scam. She will ask for your bank details and ID and there we go. Your account will be emptied.
I think we could all see it before we finished reading it.
Delete.
You will get a cashier's check. It wil lbe fake.
By law, a bank has to clear it within a few days, but it can bounce months later.
(and it will)
They will require you to wire or send money back. (or buy something)
They may even require you to give them your checking account details.
You will be out the funds for the cashiers check, plus the money you sent to this person

100% scam.
That scammer does not have a child, is not traveling and does not care how much you charge for babysitting. The next email would say that you are hired, your price is perfect and he would like to pre-pay for a month or 2 of babysitting services. He will send you a fake check for a huge amount, you are suppose to cash the check immediately and then send someone else your cash via Western Union or moneygram for some reason. That "someone else" will just be the scammer using another of his fake names and free email addresses to pick up your cash anonymously and disappear forever.
The only "job" here is your paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and the entire amount of money you sent to the scammer. There are similar stories posted at the 2 sites listed below if you would like to read more about how this type of scam works.
It's a SCAM - a classic overpayment scam
DO NOT respond for any reason - these scams are all over the internet
NEVER provide any information like that until you have actually MET them and decide if you want to work for them or notI need advice can someone please read?
Do not beleive on that. It is aspam.They will use your information in illegal purpose like stealing your personality.I need advice can someone please read?
Unfortunately, that's a MAJOR scam... NEVER reply to anything that asks for that information at the bottom. Never know who may end up with it...
SCAM RUN LIKE HELL!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T DO IT! This is a scam, and if you go through with it he could steal your identity. Trust me on this one.
Trust your intuition and walk away from this one. The next thing you know is that he will probably want your bank account # so he can process the payment. He also doesn't seem to concerned about rates which is another red flag as all companies have their limits.
I believe this is a scam as someone else posted as similar ad (exact wording) for a babysitter in Minnesota. The person claimed to be from Australia in that one. Note! any professional person looking for some one to watch his kids while his company paid the tab would not post on Craigslist, they would go through a licensed agency.

Does this sound legit or like a scam?
Here's the details, I saw a post on Craigs list, and I sent an e-mail to do it, it was for a modeling / acting thing.. Here's the response I got (Which sounds a little off.. )
The shot will be held as soon as we both agree on when it should be held and the pictures will be used for the promotion sales. The Store will be responsible for the provision for your clothings,make-up and hairstyle that will be use for the shoot.
The location of the shoot, will be somewhere close to where you are located to avoid any traveling inconveniences on your part.As soon as we both agree,the photographer will get in touch with you to agree on the location, date and time of the shoots and he will becoming over to meet you up so that the shooting can be done in good time.
Let me know if you're ok with $400(your salary) for a day for your service and fund will be sent to you immediately on confirmation of your payment information as clearly outlined below this e-mail. After payment has been received,the photo shoot will be taken and sent to the store.
There will be a pre-arranged photographer,hairstylist and a make up artist that will becoming over to you for the shoots.
They will be contacting you for proper arrangement of time and location after payments has been made.
Guess the arrangement is understood. In order for payment to be made to you, provide me with the following details,
Name in full.........
Residential address in full...........
City...........
State...........
Zip-code............
Phone number...(cell and home).....
Age.............
Charges...$400 (a day)
Statistics for Attires....

Ok so I thought this was legit.. and as I was responding, well I hit send, and went to inbox and had another message. Now after reading this, I got thrown off a bit.. But had already sent my information...
______
Good News!!! I email to inform you that a Sponsor company has finally emerged for this project, The sponsor has great passion for fashion and they will be Launching their own model school soonest and that is why they have decided to sponsor this project.
I am putting to your notice that the payment has been made to cover both your charges(SALARY) for shooting and that of the supervisor and her crew coming over the left over of the funds will be used in the booking of the studio and also cost of transportation for the supervisor and his crew to get down to your location for shooting.
we have decided to USE THIS MEANS BECAUSE the supervisor travels around a lot for shoots and its hard for him to receive payment cause of his unstable location and that was why we have decided to add his fee to your payment so that you can send for him as soon as you have your own payment (PLEASE TAKE NOTE).
Pls We need you to confirm that You are still interested in the offer by replying to this email so we can proceed by sending you payment.
Thanks

Now unless it's normal, Grammar was off, punctuation was off.. I just don't know what to expect, and why would they pay me first? $400 a day for someone with little experience? Well anyway.. If I get a check, I know to cash it out at walmart, not in the bank so he doesn't get my information.. But if they end up calling, what are some things I should look out for? Does this seem legit?Does this sound legit or like a scam?
It's a Nigeria scam, don't touch it! http://www.newmodels.com/Nigeria.html
These scams are all over Craigslist, myspace, facebook, modelmayhem, onemodelplace, etc.
1 - NO company will ever hire a model online. If you did not go for an in-person go-see and fitting, the job does not exist. Remember that one simple rule to avoid most scams. Even top models like Kate Moss still go to castings. If you've never worked for this company before, there is no way to know until they've actualy seen you that you have not lied about your height, age, measurements, etc. They have no idea if your skin is broken out this week from a picture. No way to know if you gained 5lbs in the past week because you've been out every night. No way to know your picture hasn't been completley photoshopped and looks nothing like you. No way to know you would fit into the sample clothing
2 - Models NEVER ar paid in advance of any shoot or there is no guarantee they would ever show up. You are always paid 30-60 days AFTER the shoot
3 - NO shoot for a clothing company would ever advertise on Craigslist
4 - the date, time and location of the shoot are always decided in advance, not around the model's schedule
5 - NO company would send a model money to pay for studio booking, transportation or anything else.
6 - NO real company is going to use poor grammar
DO NOT give them your home address or phone number for any reason. If you have, when the check arrives, save the original envelope and contact your closest FBI Field Office and turn it over to them. They are the agency responsible for investigating internet crimes. Keep copies of every email you've received and do not respond any further. If they call, DO NOT speak to them, hang up the phone or don't answer calls from unknown or foreign phone numbers. Print out the emails with full headers so they can hopefully track these criminals, and if the IP address shows they are from a foreign country (usually Nigeria or Russia) they will work with local law enforcement in those countries to try and track these scammers. http://www.fbi.gov/contact/fo/fo.htm
Wake up. $400 a day in 2010. it's fakeDoes this sound legit or like a scam?
Actually.... the $400 a day is not what it is that is fishy. No this is not legit at all. These are scams that occur too often on craigslist. He will basically send you a fake cashiers check that you will be able to cash but will more than likely bounce later. I did hear of a lady that was sent a cashiers check through craigslist and it didn't bounce (had something to do with the fact that she cashed it at a check cashing place). Her check was for like $1400 or something so she ended up coming out that much richer I guess lol. But the scammers want you to cash it at your bank so that yes.... they want to get your banking info. This is sometimes used to either hack into your bank account or for things such as stealing identities. I would just leave it alone if I were you and when you get whatever he has to send you; if you just wanna stay completely on the safe side; just put retur to sender on the envelope and put it right back in the mailbox. Good luck!Does this sound legit or like a scam?
Go with your gut... If it sounds off then it probably is.
If they sound vague (which they are then it's fake)
Many people are constantly scammed by these types of e-mail.
Ask for some references next time. Craigslist isn't reliable at the best of times.
you need to be careful of anything on craigs list. sounds a little off. don't ever let any of these people know where you live or let them come to your house. you never get paid up front for anything. no
one needs more than your phone no. and e-mail and your name. your salary has nothing to do
with their costs for the shoot or their supervisor and crew. this whole thing sounds a little strange.philosophy
The shot will be held as soon as we both agree on when it should be held and the pictures will be used for the promotion sales. The Store will be responsible for the provision for your clothings,make-up and hairstyle that will be use for the shoot.

Help with puppy contract?
In a few weeks my dog's litter of puppies will be ready to go to their new homes. Lately I have been hearing lots of news regarding dog fighting and the use of bait dogs. This got me thinking about the possibility of someone taking one of our pups and abusing them. My husband and I discussed having adopters sign an adoption agreement and this is what I have come up with so far. I just would like to know if there is anything else I should add or amend. Thanks

ADOPTER'S AGREEMENT
I am aware of the laws and regulations regarding Pit Bull type dogs in my home area.
I agree that the animal is being adopted for myself and will not be sold, re-homed, or given to another party.
I agree that the animal will not be allowed outdoors without proper supervision. When taking my dog outdoors, they will be under my control or securely contained as defined by the breed selective legislation in my home area.
I agree that this dog is to be a companion animal, not a guard, bait or fight dog. The dog will live inside my home, and is not to be kenneled outdoors.
I agree to care for the animal in a humane manner and be a responsible animal owner. This includes supplying adequate food, water, shelter, attention, and medical care.
I agree that if at any point I can not keep the animal, I will return him/her to ****** without the return of my adoption fee.
I agree that all statements I have made on this form are true. If it is found that any statements I have made on this form are not true the adopted dog can be confiscated. I understand and agree that ************make no guarantees about the animal's temperament and will not hold them responsible for future possible damages or injuries caused by the animal. I give them permission to call my home at any reasonable time to assure that the animal is being properly treated and cared for. I agree to keep them informed of my current home address and phone number.Help with puppy contract?
I am a trainer and the owner of a Pit Bull and that sounds really good, the only thing I would add is making sure they take a training class for socialization and much needed training as soon as they can. Best time to start is 10 weeks old for socialization purposes when they get to be around 6 months it gets harder to socialize because of their prey drive.
P.S. I would also recommend that they get them fixed by 6 months old unless you are sure they would breed responsibly.
The reality is that contract is only a promise and once that pup leaves your posession, you dont know what is going to happen. My suggestion is to not worry about the agreement contract and research your adopters better. Go out and visit their homes, ask questions you want answers to, make sure they meet your standards that way.Help with puppy contract?
It's not just BSL you have to watch out for--most townships have laws about having your dog on a leash. So it needs to say in accordance with local ordinances.
You may want to microchip these dogs before they go home.
-adopted for myself AS A COMPANION ANIMAL (PET)
-You need a spay/ neuter clause that says you can confiscate the dog, without return of adoption fee, if you have received no proof of spay/neuter at X age.
-they also need to supply TRAINING
How are you vetting these homes??Help with puppy contract?
Sounds good! I think you should include in the price (charge more so you're not losing money) that is mandatory they sign up for an obedience class so they pay you the amount of the class, then when the puppy is old enough you contact them, register them, and use the money to pay for the class and ask for proof of completion of the class (like a certificate or whatnot) which keeps the contact in-tact.
As well, you could ask to meet at the peoples homes with the pups to make sure they are clean, respectable people and see they have backyards and stuff like that, so you don't have apartment people trying to buy a pit bull and stuff.
Most puppy contracts do offer the buyer that if the puppy is diagnosed with a genetic disease confirmed by a vet that you will either refund the puppy price, or exchange the puppy. That makes many buyers feel better, so I think you should include that. Make sure you add the line "The pup is guaranteed to be healthy upon release to Buyer to the best of the Sellers knowledge."
I saw on this puppy website a very well written and detailed contract, http://www.angelfire.com/extreme/draggah鈥?/a> , obviously contact them before using it to make sure you have the rights to use it, but it can provide you with some good ideas.
Kudos to you for being proper pet sellers!

The reality is that contract is only a promise and once that pup leaves your posession, you dont know what is going to happen. My suggestion is to not worry about the agreement contract and research your adopters better. Go out and visit their homes, ask questions you want answers to, make sure they meet your standards that way.Help with puppy contract?
It's not just BSL you have to watch out for--most townships have laws about having your dog on a leash. So it needs to say in accordance with local ordinances.
You may want to microchip these dogs before they go home.
-adopted for myself AS A COMPANION ANIMAL (PET)
-You need a spay/ neuter clause that says you can confiscate the dog, without return of adoption fee, if you have received no proof of spay/neuter at X age.
-they also need to supply TRAINING
How are you vetting these homes??Help with puppy contract?
Sounds good! I think you should include in the price (charge more so you're not losing money) that is mandatory they sign up for an obedience class so they pay you the amount of the class, then when the puppy is old enough you contact them, register them, and use the money to pay for the class and ask for proof of completion of the class (like a certificate or whatnot) which keeps the contact in-tact.
As well, you could ask to meet at the peoples homes with the pups to make sure they are clean, respectable people and see they have backyards and stuff like that, so you don't have apartment people trying to buy a pit bull and stuff.
Most puppy contracts do offer the buyer that if the puppy is diagnosed with a genetic disease confirmed by a vet that you will either refund the puppy price, or exchange the puppy. That makes many buyers feel better, so I think you should include that. Make sure you add the line "The pup is guaranteed to be healthy upon release to Buyer to the best of the Sellers knowledge."
I saw on this puppy website a very well written and detailed contract, http://www.angelfire.com/extreme/draggah鈥?/a> , obviously contact them before using it to make sure you have the rights to use it, but it can provide you with some good ideas.
Kudos to you for being proper pet sellers!

Mr Oscar RamzyWHAT R THESE PEOPLE TRYIN TO SCAM?
It's either a "check advance" scheme or an identity theft ring.
Mark it as SPAM and make sure the address is blocked. Don't worry about the email, nothing to lose any sleep over, unless you have given them your information. WHAT R THESE PEOPLE TRYIN TO SCAM?
The check will be counterfeit. You will deposit it and wire money back to the "agent". In a few weeks the check will bounce and you will lose all the money wired to them.
