I recently have been looking for a job. I posted my resume on Career Builder, among other places. Unfortunately, scammers will get your info from legite places like careerbuilder.com to make it seem that they are legite. This one does not even give a company name. But, I find it quite alarming that at the end it says to destroy the e-mail and to not forward it. Big red flag right there. So, to those out there that may have had a similar situation and got one of these, please be careful! Hopefully others will see this and think twice before they give out there info or become rapped up in a scam or something illegal. Well, here is the e-mail I recieved:

Hello!
I received the same e-mail and promptly fell for it. (What is the matter with me?) Anyway, I contacted Ciparo and they were not aware of anybody named Michel von der Hams. I forwarded all the e-mails and they have assured me that they will research this matter. They also told me that they have been receiving quite a few complaint regarding this dirt bag. Please be careful. Be also aware of a guy named Andrey Kamenev who is claiming to work for EuropeTrade Group. This also is just another scam. Good luck and I hope you guys are smarter then me Gabriele |

I also received this offer and reponded. Then decided to further investigate what I was getting into and I found this site and the responses left. I want to say thank you for all who posted and prevented me from going any further. I sent the guy from Ciparo an email stating that I believe his company to be fradulent and that I wish no future correspondance. Good luck to all the HONSET people out there trying to make a legitimate living to support themselves and their families and to the ones who try to take advantage of us, well to them I wish instant karma.
Best wishes. |

I also received the exact same email from this company and I did fall for it. But after I received my first check something didn't seem right because it was made out to me by a person I didn't know. I voided that check out and sent it back to the person who sent to me and informed them that I sent an email to the company stating why I sent it back. There's too much at risk when dealing with a personal check from someone that you don't know, especially when you have to go to your bank to cash the check. I would think the company would be more careful of who they selected to take part of this process and not just ask for an address and an email address and not do a background check. Anyone could easily make up an address and take the money. I told them to terminate my contract and now they say I am obligated to pay all the clients shipping fees because the check wasn't processed, where in the contract there is nothing stating that I am responsible for paying the shipping fees of the client if I terminated my contract before processing the check. There's too much contradiction with what they are saying and what the contract says. It doesn't say what the consequences are if you terminate the contract before processing the check. I am going to report this to Careerbuilder to have them remove this company so nobody else falls into this trap.

I tried to find the company on Careerbuilder and it doesn't exist anymore on that website. I even checked the UK Careerbuilder and Netherlands and it doesn't exist on their website, so if you get something from Careerbuilder by this guy don't be fooled because their company is no longer on Careerbuilder.
