even if they do "transfer money into your account" it will be denied later and you will be out the money + bounced fees. this is a common scam that has been around for a long time, but instead of them sending you a fake check they send you a fake/stolen wire transfer. its much faster for them and cost them nothing, the fedex thing with the fake checks cost them money to use fedex and time to put it in an envelope.

I understand many of you got questions like did they take your money or whatever. I closed my account before they could transfer money into my account and start a big problem for me. They blew up my phone and emailed and said I better send the money and a bunch of other stuff. Dont get desperate and go for these types of offers online. Go do a google search on them there are plenty of people who have fallen for Fred Wright and his so called Azurevenue Company, The funny thing is when they found out i closed my account they had there so called client call me from another number to ask where there funds are, and it was Fred Wright the same so called hiring managers voice on the phone. These people are a joke and pathetic and I have warned everyone so if you fall for these, that is all on you.

Well I appreciate the honesty but it's not greed, it's trying to make a way to take care of my asthmatic son at home, besides, with the economy today and $4 a gal for gas, it's no surprise the 'average' person will try and find a way to make ends meet, and that's why it's easy for the 'scammers' to prey on us. That's why I'm asking for any help, so I appreciate your input for sure.

No legitimate company would require you to use your personal bank account for their business. The reason they told the OP that they would only need to use the account for the first 30 days is because that's all the time they'll need to rip her off.
Seriously, accepting money into a personal account and forwarding it elsewhere is at best money laundering and at worst a scam. There is nothing legitimate about what they call a "job". Do not let your greed override your common sense.

I am still in the application process with this company. It seems ok to me so far but I am very leary. You had said you were to transfer $2600 but didn't say anything happened. Are you going by what others say in their comments or your own experience? What happened to you that makes you think it's a scam? I want this to be ligit but I don't want to take any chances either. I just don't know of the negative things I read because no one has specific information on anyone actually being ripped off. What happened to that money transfer? Did you really try it? Anyone out there who actually got taken by the company? Thanks to all who can help in anyway.
