Default costa coffee scam

paulsmith@costacocoffee.info



Hello,

My name is Paul Smith and I am the Employment Manager of Costa Coffee, a
quality coffee company based in the United Kingdom. the company has been setup
in Lambeth, London since 1971, supplying all local caterers, major Italian and
American coffee shops and around the world, with an exciting coffee, slow-
roasted the Italian way. People couldn?t get enough of it and by 1978 the first
Costa espresso bar opened in Vauxhall Bridge Road in London. To this day we
still use the same method of slow-roasting our coffee beans, serving the
brothers? authentic blend of 6 Arabica beans to 1 Robusta in 500 coffee shops
all over the world. You can check out our website at: Costa Coffee

The company is always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling our
products to Americans because they are always offering to pay with US MONEY
ORDERS and US CHECKS which is difficult for us to cash here in the UK since the
last person that represents us in the US has just fallen sick and cannot
continue the job.
We are looking for a representative in the United States who will be working for
the company as a Part-Time Representative/Bookkeeper and we'll be willing to
pay 10% for every transaction, of course it wouldn?t affect your present state
of work because you may do it as a PART-TIME work, all we need is just someone
who would help us receive payments from our customers in the states. I mean
someone that is responsible and reliable, cause the cost of coming to the
states and getting payments is very expensive so for now we need a
representative in the United State who will be handling the payment aspect.

These payments are in US Money Orders/Checks and they would come to you in your
name, so all you need do is cash the money orders and checks, deduct your
percentage (10%) and wire the rest back.

It wouldn?t cost you any amount, you are to receive payments which will be
mailed to you by post from my business partners, which would come in
form of Money Orders or Checks then you are to cash it and send the cash to me
via
western union money transfer all western union charges will be deducted
from the money.
If you are interested, please fill up the form below and get back to me as soon
as possible.

Post Costa Coffee

Hi everyone,

You've my handle caveatemptor; I picked it because I've been scammed, and some of us have been scammed too. Even, if some of us don't want to admit it. We all should be aware of what we buy online, thru the mail, and even in person.

The reason why I joined this organization is because the e-mail I received from a company caused Costa Coffee to work as a part-time Representative/Bookkeeper. I wanted to find out more on this company.

I checked on Google, they same to exist in London, England and you can even buy the coffee on eBay. I’m very apprehensive to participate in this company.

Have anyone every heard anything about this company?

Talk 2 U l8tr.

Question Hello! Costa Coffe Scam?

I'm new to this site and I wanted to say "Hi". I recently received an email from a gentleman who claims to work for CostaCoffee asking me to work parttime for him cashing checks here in the U.S. because they can't do that in the U.K. I, of course, would receive 10% for my share and also would deduct the Western Union charges to send the money back to the U.K. Is this a scam? Has anyone else received this email?

I have received the same e-mail. I do not know if it is a scam, but I will contact Costa Coffee and verify. I know the e-mail address used in the message is valid. I typed it in and it took me to the Costa Coffee employment page.
