Complaint Review: Fwtllc

Thank you for your e-mail. I am Ratem Warkovkin, the accountant of Fwtllc.
I'll be your personal assistant and you may contact me with any questions which concern
your salary and payments.

I need to provide you an audio cassette and $60.00 to sending this
cassette back. Actually, we wait cassettes from a factory at this time and can't
provide them right now. Our teachers are going to start a new programm for Fwtllc's students
within a month. So we need to provide a first cassette with records in 20 days period.
Our chief accountant gave me an approval to send the additional amount of
$15 for buying a cassette.
It means that you'll receive $75 dollars. You need:
1 to buy a cassette (the cassette should be TDK, SONY or PANASONIC ONLY)
2 to make a record
3 to send this cassette to us

It is a policy to make all payment to our employees in a form of a check,
issued from a bank in the country where the employee is residing. Currently
our US office is under the setup phase, we still waiting for a permission from
the Latvian Royal Revenue Service to open bank accounts in the United States,
such is required for all Latvian companies wishing to conduct business outside
the European Union, it will takes us another month and a half to have everything
settled and the accounts opened. We were expecting the permit this week, but
my legal department advised me that it will take longer because of some paperwork
that wasn't filed timely on their part.

While Fwtllc's US account is under the setup phase. I can advice you another solution
for receiving the money. Because it's urgent and Fwtllc can't have delays with
the new english programm. Our US account will be open in the nearest time so next
pays will be according our policies.

I've just received a letter from the one of our workers. He said that he hasn't an
apportunity to work with Fwtllc. He is going to open his own company and wants to leave
the USA. He is a good worker and wants to send the rest of his salary (We paid him upfront)
back(it's about $700 US Dollars).
He says that his US bank account has already closed but he can transfer the money
from his paypal account.
We can't receive this money because we haven't paypal account.
we have bookkeping, taxes and it's not so easy to redirect all physical
parers to paypal site. As a company we have to fill in a lot of parers for our goverment.

Desision:
I contact him with the approval on sending the money to you.
He promised to transfer the money within 1-2 days. You will receive
the money in the same time. Then you withdraw
$75 dollars for a test,
$50 dollars for your time
and transfer the rest to us.

Step-by-step:
1 You receive money on your paypal account. Your account have to be VERIFIED.
(If you never used paypal service before, please visit their web page: www.paypal.com)
2 Transfer the money from paypal to your bank account
3 Withdraw $125 dollars
4 send the rest to us (You will withdraw transfer fees from "our money").
5 contact me with a confirmation that money has been sent.
6 buy a cassette
7 make a record (see below*)
8 re-wind the cassette to the beginning
9 send the cassette to us
10 Contact me and confirm that a cassette with your record has been sent.
11 Wait an answer from our specialists. They will answer within 3-5 days on your email address.

Please let me know how you want me to proceed. If you tell me to go ahead,
I'll contact our worker and the money will be transferred within few days.
Also I will perovide nesessary information for money transfer. In this case I need to
know on which email address do you prefer to receive the money.
If not, we will wait until we setup FWTLLC's US account.

---------------------------------------FOR A TEST RECORD----------------------------------------------
The autumn season can be quite pleasant in most of the US. In the northern states,
it usually brings warm sunny days with cool nights. The leaves of the hardwood forests
begin to change color and produce a magnificent display for a few short weeks.
In the South, it means an end to the oppressive heat of mid-summer and the onset
of more pleasant temperatures. Along the south Atlantic coast and around the Gulf
of Mexico it can bring some dangerous storms known as Hurricanes.

Baseball season nears its end and the professional baseball teams begin their playoffs
in preparation for the World Series. American football season begins.
Every weekend, high school and college teams across the USA engage in local matches.
On Sunday afternoons, television sets across the land are tuned to the professional
games of the National Football League.

VERY STRANGE INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the last email I received. I refunded the full amount to the person that sent this to me. Sneaking suspiscion that once money clears and is sent a paypal claim will be filed.

EMAIL:
Thanks four your questions.

The funds in the amount of $947 has been sent to your paypal account.
Please make necessary steps and

1 You need to transfer money from paypal to your bank account.
2 When money will be on your bank account you:
a) withdraw $75 for a test
b) $25 for your additional time
c) transfer the rest via western union (we cover money transfer fees).
(For example you need to send $650.00. Money transfer charge is $50.00
So we should receive $600.00 (You withdraw the transfer fee from our
money). No any expenses from your side.

Here is the information for western union transfer:

FIRST NAME:Vashakmadze

3 After it has been done you need to send me the letter with MTCN.
Money Transfer Control Number (10 digits number) and current amount which you sent. That's all.

Also I can advise you the second way for speed up the process:
you may leave the transferred amount in your paypal account(it's already your's money), buy a cassette for cash and send "the rest" to us.
It will be faster, because money transfer from paypal to bank account may takes 3-4 days.
If you choose this way you will also save some money on tranfer fees (from paypal to bank account and it will be appreciated) and will be able to use your money in paypal for buying goods and services from online shops or auctions (about 90% www.ebay.com sellers want to use paypal). The whole process will take only 5-10 minutes. You can send the money through online western union service www.westernunion.com (with your credit card) or send money through the one of western union offices.
