My theory was correct. Read though this thread. There are some people who have tried to deposit the check. (and thankfully they wanted for it to clear before sending any money.) It bounces.

I am so glad today I sent it back to the address on the envelope. Who knows if it is even the right address. So sad I watch this stuff every week on date line and prime time, and I still fell for it. It is easy to do when you are needing money. I hope I am done with this. I hope they don't try to say I have to pay shipping and handling fees or something. Has any one else cashed a check or returned it from Binio Trading co.

So what if they do say you have to pay them? They probably will, scamers are always looking for money. Don't worry about this anymore, you are under no obligation to them.

If you really want to read more about people who fell for this scam and made the mistake of wiring the cash before the checks cleared, take a look at this thread:

It's like watching a train wreck.

Thumbs down Fell for this one

I to fell for this scam. I found out it was a scam when the check I deposited bounced. Now I'm stuck with the fees from my bank. Thank goodness I waited for the check to clear before I forwarded the funds. Someone should be able to stop these fools. I received a check with names and an address on it. That was an actual account closed just before I tried to deposit the check. I am doing my own investigation and trying to track down the peoples names on my check. I have even contacted my local news channel. If you receive a check don't cash it. In fact don't even respond.

I recently recieved a email from career-builders from a company called Omiso BV. I am badly in need for a job. This sounded Oh so good. I had it in the back of head that it may be a scam, but was not sure. I started to do a little research, and found this site by chance. I'm glad I did, It answer all my question about this email, since so many other got the same email word for word. I give thanks to God that he led me to this site.

Default Another Scam

I received an offer similar to what everyone is talking about: receive checks from unknown persons, deposit in your own account, send money back to unknown. Unfortunately, I deleted the emails a few weeks ago so I don't have them to post here.

The offer came through Career Builders and was from a company based in Russia (flag) so I couldn't find any info on them. Receive checks, deposit into my account, keep 5% of amount as my fee, send the rest Western Union to specified person.

I had to give them my home address, phone number, email. Also had to sign a contract which stated that once receiving the check, money must be deposited immediately and sent Western Union (minus my 5% fee) WITHIN 24 HOURS (flag) or I would lose 1% of my fee for every 24hrs that the money was not sent. I replied back that I was very interested (I wasn't because I knew this was a scam) but that if they could possible change the contract to state transfering the money within 4 business days because the check would not clear (funds would not be available) within 24 hours. They never replied back. What a surprise!

Actually, there was an article in the Buffalo News a few weeks ago (which I could not find in their archives because I wanted to post the link here) that discussed this exact scam. What I was most surprised about from the article is that the check might clear in a few days (which makes you think the check is good), but it may take up to a FEW WEEKS for the bank to actually realize that it was a phoney check. By that time, you have already sent the money. So, you are out the money plus any fees you must pay to the bank.
