 |

Got this email this morning...looks very phishy
Hello, my name is Maurice Smith and I work for a company called Latvian IT Inc. I found your resume on careerbuilder.com because we are searching for reliable professionals across the United States who are interested in a potentially lucrative partnership with an international firm.
Latvian IT Inc. is a leading software company in Latvia and we are currently expanding our operations in the United States. But because of various banking and legal restrictions, we are unable to open commercial bank accounts in every state. As such, Latvian IT Inc. is recruiting partners to conduct simple banking transactions on our behalf.
The process is simple. If you were interested in becoming a US partner of Latvian IT Inc., you would sign an agreement that would make you an official financial representative of our company, able to accept invoice payments on our behalf. Instead of asking our American clients to conduct complicated international payment transactions (which are especially complex for Latvian companies), we have them work with our partners to submit payments. You would then forward the payments to us, a simple transaction for an individual.
Latvian IT Inc. pays its partners a 10% commission on every transaction. In addition, we will take care of any incremental tax liability you incur. Depending on which state you are in, and of course on how good business is, your monthly commissions could be as high as $40,000 per month.
If you are interested in working with us, or if you want more information, you can contact me directly at my personal email address: support@latvianit.us. I'll need your full name and mailing address so I can send you the contract and other paperwork necessary to get started.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Maurice Smith

I too think it looks fishy. The website was only registered today and is with GoDaddy and runs for one year.

Looks very phony to me. I would guess it is a fake cheque fraud.

Yep, check fraud or money laundering/mule scam. Keep off.

2. If you do not have access to check cashier’s centers, you can cash money at the bank.
3. After you have cashed the check, please, keep 10 percent of the sum of the check.
4. Transfer the remaining 90% sum of money via Western Union or Money Gram (the transfer fee can be taken off the sum of transfer, so no extra payment shall be needed). |
