"Hello, my name is Bill Sprague and I work for a
company called Techstar Labs Inc. I found
your resume on careerbuilder.com because we are
searching for reliable professionals across the United
States who are interested in a potentially lucrative
partnership with an international firm.
Techstar Labs Inc. is a leading software company in Latvia and we are currently expanding our operations in the United States. But because of various banking and
legal restrictions, we are unable to open commercial
bank accounts in every state. As such, Techstar Labs Inc. is recruiting partners to conduct simple banking
transactions on our behalf.
The process is simple. If you were interested in
becoming a US partner of Techstar Labs Inc., you would sign an agreement that would make you an official financial representative of our company, able to accept invoice payments on our behalf. Instead of asking our
American clients to conduct complicated international
payment transactions (which are especially complex for
Latvian companies), we have them work with our
partners to submit payments. You would then forward
the payments to us, a simple transaction for an individual.
Techstar Labs Inc. pays its partners a 10% commission on
every transaction. In addition, we will take care of
any incremental tax liability you incur. Depending on
which state you are in, and of course on how good
business is, your monthly commissions could be as high
as $40,000 per month.
If you are interested in working with us, or if you
want more information, you can contact me directly at
my personal email address: [email protected]. I'll need your full name and mailing address so I can send you the contract and other paperwork necessary to get started.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

How the scam works
#2Consumer Comment
Sun, August 07, 2005
Seggy, You have correctly identified this as a scam. Here's how it works: The scammers send you a check for, say $10,000.00. You deposit it in your checking account and your bank balance is now $10,000.00 higher. You keep $1,000.00 and withdraw $9,000.00 in cash from your bank account. You take the $9,000.00 to Western Union and wire it to the scammer. It all sounds like easy money until the scammer's check bounces a week or two later. Now you have to reimburse the bank the whole $10,000.00 plus fees. The money you sent by Western Union is gone without a trace. A few of the tell-tale signs that this is a scam: 1. Nobody is gonna pay you thousands of dollars to cash a check. 2. Good jobs are hard to find; no legitimate employer is going to offer you a job by sending out bulk emails. 3. The overseas address that you really cannot confirm. 4. Do you really think that a legitimate international financial concern could not hire at least one person fluent in English? 5. Anyone who demands payment by Western Union is a scammer. Anyone anywhere in the world can receive your money and once they have it it's gone. You have no way to get it back. Scams like this prey on the lazy, the greedy, and the stupid.
