Complaint Review: Forward Business LLC - Internet Internet

Yes, tear the checks up and toss them. Please report this scam to this government agency:

http://www.ftc.gov/reports/index.htm

...Rip them up and toss them in the trash. As long as you do not deposit them, you are safe from that part of the scam. What would happen if you did deposit it is most banks will clear the funds in a day. Now you send the scammers what they requested, and spend against it. When the fake check comes back ..which it will every time in days or weeks, you are responsible for anything spent against it, and all fees that result. So, you lose, the banks gets fees, and the scammers got away clean and clear with whatever you wired them,..that is how it works.

IF they have critical bank and personal info..it is possible they can sell it, or use it for identity fraud. They may not, but is it worth the risk?

You might want to call the bank from whatever info you gave them and have the account number changed as a safe guard.

I also received the same email and had the same concerns.  Thank you for taking the time to file your report, you saved me much grief I'm sure!  If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 

I hope this helps others. This is the exact e-mail that I responded to earlier this evening. There is no need to describe the scenario because it is the very same as described in this post by the others. Please be aware of this scam and do not trust this company with any personal information!

 Thank you for detailed explanation on Forward Business LLC. Gosh...you know what...I just received same email yesterday and just sent in the fax with all my personal info (including name of my bank Bank and my DOB) just an hour ago...

After I faxed the contract to them, I tried calling them to verify whether they have received faxed documentation, but the phone number they listed in the contract was not valid. My verizon recorded voice says 'please check the number and try again'. Red flag.....I googled the company and this was how I got here.....If I just googled the company before I sent my personal info......!!!

I am just curious of one thing. It seems like that I will be receiving 2 fake checks within a couple of days. Is there anything that they can scam me with, if I do not deposit that fake bank and let them know my detailed bank information?(after it bounces).

I am just worried about submitting my personal info(Name of the Bank - ofcourse, without my A/C number, and my date of birth). Is there any thing they can scam me with these information??

I consider myself as an educated person, and I can't believe that I got scammed by their simple and idiotic scheme.... 

Good thing is that I got to read your report on Forward Business before I received the fake checks.

Thanks!!

Dear Consumer:

   I want to thank you for taking the time to complete this report and share this incident.  Today, I was also contacted via email by the same Company, "Forward Bsiness LLC" and noticed the same minor typos and opening remark of seeing my resume on Careerbuilder.  My first thought was to conduct some company research and as soon as I put into Google's search engine the Company name - secret shopper there was this report among many other comments referencing this as a scam. Beware to all this appears not to be a legitament job opportunity. Thanks
