My first post ever.
I have never joined a forum before so this will be a learning process for me. I hope you all grade on a curve. It is amazing to me how many scams there are, but even more amazing is the amount of people who fall victim to these scams. Recently my wife was looking for work through a legitimate job finder site. The only reply to her resime was from a scammer. She was so happy when she received the job offer, that it never entered her mind, it might be a scam. When she told me of the offer I informed her it was a scam. She wanted the offer to be true so bad she called up her father and forworded the offer to him. A smart and successful businessman he to dashed her hopes of it being a legitimate offer. As she was applying in the accounting feild the email requested personal banking information and expressed a need for the company to make direct deposits for compensation but also requested access to her account to make deposit corrections. They would have been able to empty her bank account faster than she could blink. This scam is one that seems to be potentially devistating and easy to fall for when one is desperate for a good career opportunity. It was many pages long and the banking request was the only tell that it was a scam. I am thankful for this site because my wife has a place to look before leaping. Thank You. P
