Offer a job on careerbuilders by David S Stringfield from Farla Medical Ltd. its a hired on the spot type of thing and your position is working for the company as a vitual receiver from home. He sends you a petty good contract stating the laws, your benefits, your pay , bonuses etc... All the position requires you to do is receive checks at your home , deposit them into your account, your suppose to take 10% out for your troubles and then send the rest in cash to a address provided. I even was told that for me to take vacation I would have to let them know and if I wanted to terminate my employment with them I would have to do it in writing and contract will be voided after two weeks. Well I research and found that Farla Medical Ltd is a pretty good company, I didnt see any bad reviews or see any complaints so I proceeded with it. I get an email that two checks will be arriving and needed to be deposited and sent to them asap. I looked in the mail and there they were. a total of 2000 dollars. I deposited and waited a day and saw it cleared. I let David know through email and he instructed me to keep $540 of it and send him the rest in cash priority mail. He said when I have the tracking number to let him know so he can make sure it gets to the knew headquarters in Pennsylvania. I knew it was bad , I tried to ignore all the red flags but lets be honest, who gets 540 from 2000 dollars for 15 minutes of work thats way more than 10%, what company asks to use your account and wo gets cash in the mail? Anyways I went to the post office and did it anyways. That 540 sat in my account for 1 day and it haunted me. I called the post office and intrcepted the package and went back to the bank with all the money and left it in there while i do some research. In the meantime he was emailing me left and right to see what happened to the money I sent. Well I went to google maps and typed in the address the checks came from and that address was an abandoned building that used to be a limo service. Then i googled the address the cash had to be sent to and that was a house tha was empty for sale. The key to that was that the house had a mailbox that sat on the curb. So im sure scammers stake the house until mail is dropped off then the drive up pulled down the window and take the mail. Pretty good trick but thankgod I listened to my gut and my girl because in all honesty my heart wanted it to be real , $540 for 20 minutes of work. Unfortunately when its too good to be true , its because it is. 

Mistakes Made by scammer.

1.FarlaLimitedltd.co.uk is the real website

He had FarlaMedicalltd@yandex.com

2. Using my account, not asking me for specific information so that im regitered as a Farla employee

3. When I asked him/her why 540 when the contract states 10% of each check. He never answered, he asked for the tracking number again and again.

4. Never was available to speak on the phone.

5. Address are abandoned.

Even though hearing the scam can make you think it is a easy red flag. There is alot of things that i can see in this scam which can grab you in . The person gets you on careerbuilder, so they know you need a job and are vulnerable. The contract covers every angle to make you overlook those red flags. They tell you why you need to use your account, how much you earn, when you qualify for a raise and how etc etc. Anyways they almost got me ad I only can thankgod they didnt becuase I am responsible fo the 2000 since it went to my account. so say it all went as planned and I was dumb. I would of made 540 and he would of made 1460 for the moment until my bank calls me and i have to pay back the 540 plus the 1460 turning my profit into -2000 plus laundering charges etc...... Live and learn

What reason would any company have to need someone to cash cheques and send them the cash? And pay such a heft a hefty amount for your troubles?  Who would send a complete stranger thousands of dollars in cheques and entrust them to send them the money?  None of it makes any sense, it screams SCAM. BTW:  it is illegal to send cash thru the mail.  I'm glad you did your research and realized the scam before it was too late.  You need to alert the police in that city so they can stake-out that house and arrest these scammers.  P.S.  These scammers use the names of real companies fradulently, so as to appear more legit.
