DFK Group Inc tried to lure me into fraudulently transferring thousands of dollars from offshore accounts: USA HQs in Audubon, Pennsylvania
I am not one to throw folks under the bus. This may, in fact, prove to be a simple case of non-English speaking folks with poor grammar (and an even poorer web designer) trying to branch out into the US of A. That being said, red flags abounded as I looked into the following Craigslist ad. (Note: I found this ad placed in many other cities across the nation. Upon trying to call the 800 # listed on their website, it was "temporarily disconnected". Kind of strange for a successful business that prides itself on quick response and great service for their clients).

-----------------------------------------
So here's my take: Although offered this "job" where you're paid b/w 2-3k per month to do minimal work, I have decided not to b/c the red flags outweigh the benefits. I admit, I certainly could use this income, as I am currently unemployed and have to wait several months for my (minimal) unemployment to kick in. However, having read up on the growing number of fraudulent activities using Money Gram/Western Union, Craigslist (not to trash them in any way though!), and offshore "clients" and "companies", I decided I could not take the risk of being hit with fees in the event that this is not as legitimate as their FAQ section states (http://dfkgroup.org/index.php?action=r_20). The job description can be found here http://dfkgroup.org/index.php?action=r_19).
To summarize, I have not yet been ripped off by these folks, but every rock I look under seems to make me less, not more confident. Please do not take this as an accusation of fraudulent business activity. Just consider it a cautionary measure against the large number of scams that look very similar to this. Need I mention that the domain was only registered on August 18th, 2010 according to "WhoIs" (http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/registry-data.jsp?domain=dfkgroup.org).
If anyone else has any helpful information that either confirms or denies these concerns, please do not hesitate to make it known!

I received payment for two tasks completed, but even after several attempts to communicate I haven't heard anything from my contact person in over three weeks. Also, the website for the company, www.dfkgroup.org, no longer exists. I never got my first month salary, however.
