Tetford Fabrics/ David Pomazal/Kelly Pomazal/ Derek Jeffries YOU WILL GO TO JAIL! Lincolshire England
Please do not become a victim of this scam. It will not loose you any money but it will land you in jail. They send you an email stating that they have a Part Time Finance Office Assistant position. There are different titles all over the internet. They then tell you that you will be sent a check and to take 10% and send them the rest. Sounds good? No.
Once you receive the check you are suppose to cash it take your money and send them the rest. Problem is the check is fake.
When you go to try to cash it the bank will hold you there and call the police.
Please do not fall victim to these people and do not give them the satisfaction of going through with this and be the one to come out looking like an idiot!
Here is one example of the email if you have replied to them:

SCAM job postings which are ruining the reputation of Tetford Fabrics
#2REBUTTAL Owner of company
Thu, January 08, 2009
I am the guenuine owner of Tetford Fabrics - a very small family run business in the UK. Over the past few months there have been many postings, which began on Craigslist but are now all over the internet, for an executive assistant at Tetford Fabrics. These are all SCAMS. The police are aware but it has been impossible to stop. The police have explained to me that these scams usually originate in Nigeria. You apply and are offered the job to receive payments supposedly from customers of Tetford Fabrics .. you pay the cheque (or check as the scammers have spelt it - a dead give-away as we spell the word 'cheque' in the UK) into your own account, deduct your 10%/12% then send the balance via Western Union, only to find later that the cheque is fake and you have lost the 90% you have sent them. They even ask for the balance to be sent to my guenuine address, but ask you to email them (the addresses they give have been hotmail and gmail etc - which of course no legitimate UK company would be using as they would have their own company email) with all the details of the payment "to aid in them picking up the money". I can only assume that they are somehow able to intercept the money by using these details.
I have been receiving many emails from people all over the US who have initially been taken in by the job postings and actually applied, then gone to my website to check it out and found my guenuine email contact address. The following is part of the scammers email which was forwarded to me by a person who applied for the job:

I can only hope that anyone who has applied for the job and got as far as receiving the above has immediately realised it is a complete scam!!...Surely no-one could have been taken in??!!
I have been very upset by this situation - especially when a fraud investigator from the UK Police knocked on my door! The title and content of this rip-off report is also very worrying as it gives the impression that my company is the guilty party! .. So I welcome this opportunity to put my side of the story.
Thank you to anyone who has taken the trouble to read this!
