Got another "we'll pay you a commission to cash checks for us" job scam today. If you found this page because you were looking for information about the job on Google, trying to see if it is legit... it's not. In fact, no legitimate business is offering to pay high commissions to individuals to cash checks for them.
The scam is that the checks are fake, but they're often good enough fakes for your bank to cash them... initially. So you cash them, send off the 90%, pocket the 10%, and a week or two later, your bank is telling you to give them their money back for that fake check or they're calling the cops. You're screwed.
This one had some other red flags... the date on it was 3/7/07. But today is 3/6/08.
They try to pretend it was sent via CareerBuilder, but if you look closely at the headers...
Received-SPF: softfail (google.com: domain of transitioning candidateemail@site.careerbuilder.com does not designate 209.86.89.61 as permitted sender) client-ip=209.86.89.61;
Yup, it's not really through CareerBuilder. In fact, that's telling you CareerBuilder has posted a document that says "these are the people we know" and that sender isn't in that list.
Here's the text of the e-mail...

They fill the end with real text and links from a CareerBuilder e-mail, but that's just window dressing to make it look legit. The bad date, the unrecognized sender information in the headers, the fact that this is an old, well-worn scam by now... all big red flags. But most simply, if someone offers you a lot of money for just a couple hours of work a day, they're full of crap or the work is something immoral or illegal.
Best of luck to you all!
I'm thinking it's probably a Nigerian-run scam, because the "author" of this letter refers to herself as "Mrs. Elita Hubbert."
It's a custom in West Africa (in newspapers, letters and such) to refer to a married woman as "Mrs. so and so", which is something American newspapers and style guides stopped doing about thirty years ago.
The only paper that continues to do so is the Wall Street Journal, but then again, they're the only paper that still sketches (instead of photographing) people quoted in an article.
Thank you for this! I have received several of these and was intrigued but skeptical...becuz it sounded (yes you know...) TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!
Now I have the proof I needed to stop wondering if I should stop being SCARED and just jump in or if I was just listening t my instincts.
Thanks again!
Traci
Thanks for the information on this fraudulent scheme. I just sent them an e-mail today-- which is March 17th, 2008-- expressing interest, only to find out after researching them immediately, that they are a total fraud.
Good work guys! Your efforts are much appreciated from this "job applicant." I knew it was too good to be true.
Thanks for the info it is a good article, but would please help out to block this type of messages?
Thanks again.
@Mtroca,
Not sure what I can do personally to block this type of message. I have SpamAssassin running on my personal server, and my Yahoo and GMail accounts have their aggressive spam filters running. I only post those items that have gotten through one or more of these filters.
One of the biggest ways we can stop scams and spam is to stop rewarding the scammers and spammers. Every time someone falls for a scam or buys a product advertised in a spam mail, they're rewarding these crooks. And as we all know from Psychology 101, rewards encourage and reinforce behavior.
So, aside from better spam filtering, which I do not have to expertise to create, the next best way to battle these crooks is to dry up their supply of victims.
Just got the contract they want me to sign. Can't believe they tried to make it look like careerbuilders. I hate these ****suckers. I ussually f*** with them like I'm interested and then laugh at their frustration with me. I am the stupid American who can't figure out how to send a fax or e-mail. They get so pissed.
On the whole this one must have been written by someone who has english as their first language. It is pretty well done and I am sure it will scam thousands of people.
Find them and KILL them!!!!
I actually contracted with them, received the first check which was written from the same bank as mine. I asked them to run the account first and they tell me that account has been recently closed. I emailed this "company" immediately, NEVER got a response. I tore that check up and threw it out. DON'T DO IT!!
Thanks for the information. People are getting smarter nowadays. It's hard to differentiate a legit and phony.
I was also contacted a couple of days ago by this company with their offer and today they sent me the contract that looks very well done. So, being skeptical, I googled the company name and came up with this site. I'm so glad I did! I needed to make extra money, not have it stolen away from me!
The best thing to do with these perverts is sign up with them, waste their time, have them fedex their postal orders (or whatever) and then not cash them. They spend money on you and you get to laugh at them
@Keith,
Actually, you shouldn't respond to these folks at all. Responding to them and then wasting their time gives them contact information for you. Remember, they're criminals. They're bad people. If you can, just stay off their radar altogether.
Thank you so much for this. I looked into it and this solved it for me quickly! I need money BAD and so it sounded like something I actually could do as well as go to school. Again thank you!
Oh, heck I screw with them. I make them call me. I make them write me. If more people will do that, make them waste money and not get anything in return, it might shut them down. They don't have my real name or anything. Oh, sure, they have my phone number--a cell phone that is not attached to my address. I give them a post office box to send the checks to. So, no worries there.
One time I had someone named "harry moore" who was working to get millions out of africa call me. He said, "Hello, this is Mr. Harry Moore." And I said, "No, this is Dr. John Winslow." and he said, "No, I mean, this is Mr Harry Moore." And I said, "No, this is my phone, I know who I am...I am Dr. John Winslow. Mr. Harry Moore is my business partner, but he isn't in right now." Well, it was a 30 minute conversation from ghana to the US, and the whole time I am laughing my butt off as he is trying to explain he is my business partner...good times...good times..
Here's my letter - it looks like pug and play. I wish I had the time to f*** with them because I would as well. Dumb bas****

I just recieved an email like this today from British Medical Supplies. I thought it was odd that when I googled the company name iIcouldn't find ANYTHING on them or the address they had given me. Thanks for the info! I am desperate for some extra cash and was seriously considering this... but it just didn't sound right!
Thanks again!
OMG!NOO.. I laughed when I got the e-mail because it was in my junk mail folder. I thought about it twice since it was from careerbuilder I want a thousand dollars!!! Damn... back to playing the lotto!
I got an e-mail of the same sort and sent all the information. BUT I kept having these nagging question of why don't they just open up a minute office here in the states to get their money.............If they have hundreds of thousands to pay reps.....wouldn't they have the money for a small business here in the states? THINK, and check INTO EVERYTHING!!!!
Also, IF you were dealing with large amounts of money, don't you think they'd want more than just your name, address, and e-mail address to hire you? I think MAJOR background checks would be in order before I'd hire someone to TRUST with MY business finances!!!
Thank you for speaking out and alerting others, who want the "too good to be true" to BE true!!
Here is the link to the person that said they kept the money: http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?p=506131
To follow up on my previous post.. what happened was that someone said that one or two of the first checks actually cleared before they began sending the bouncing checks. My question is, what can happen to him? Would the scammers go after him legally?
here is what I got ?
hp.medicalgrouppayment@gmail.com wrote: Dear Representative,
Please read carefully. I am pleased to offer you employment at our company HP MEDICAL GROUP in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at a rate of $1,000.00 per month + 10% commission for every check cashed. As we have discussed, your work schedule will be two hours. Your task as stated in the job description will be to cash these checks and contact us for further instructions. You will receive next instructions step by step. You need to use your existing bank account to cash checks. This is because of one very important reason: after you will have a few positive transactions the account will become "trusted" by the bank and all this will become routine. After you cash a check you need to send us 90% of the total amount and also deduct all the fees from our 90%. You will never pay anything out of your own money. You will only pay taxes for your income, namely your salary and commission.
Remember that we have already delivered our products and we are now waiting on you to send us our funds as soon as possible.
I am glad that you understood the whole process. I am also interested if you have ever worked in this line of work for processing payments and if yes please provide the period, what company and the reason you do not work for them any longer.
- If you have any misunderstandings please contact us now by e-mail with the subject: “Questions” to prevent any problems and lost money.
- We remind you that you signed a contract with us. If you need to go on vacation or relocate you have to notify us with at least two-weeks in advance and everything will be all right. The same goes if you want to quit this job. You have to give us a 2-week notice but during that time you still have to perform your duties. After 2 weeks have passed from the notification we can end the contract.
If you are ready to receive the checks send an email with the subject “I am ready.”If we don’t receive a reply from you, we’ll consider that you don’t longer wish to work for us and will not send you any checks.
Also I can offer you a 15 % increase in your comision, meaning a total of 25% from the total amount but for that we’ll require a minimum period of 2 years in employment and a VOID scanned check to demonstrate that you own an account in your name.
- If you are interested please send the scanned check by email and I will send you the new contract for a period of 2 years.

Today, HP MEDICAL GROUP is building on the company's strong tradition for product research and development and is developing into one of the UK 's leading healthcare s. The company has developed and markets products in the growing areas of sports medicine, spinal surgery, heart bypass implant, wheelchairs and has an established international distribution base across Europe and America .
HP MEDICAL GROUP is a privately owned company. The business is based in London at the heart of the UK motorway network and has developed from its origins, producing surgical needles, into a major business servicing the global healthcare market. We sell a large variety of products ranging from state of the art wheelchairs and parts, service professional equipment that is used for people practicing sport that undergo physical recovery from injuries, hospital equipment and so on. Our catalogue of products is comprised of over two hundred items and professional services.
We care to explain to you thoroughly the entire process that will possibly be the best job you will ever have. This job is possible because our company HP MEDICAL GROUP has its headquarters in London , UK . As such we do not yet have stores or offices in the United States . Until we do we will always need representatives in the U.S. to take care of some financial matters. The problem we are facing is the time necessary for our company to clear the funds from checks paid by our customers from U.S. after they have received our products and/or services. It takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks including shipping to clear these checks in Europe . We need to clear the checks inside U.S. and then have the funds transferred to our company in U.K. by other means. This is where you can help us. It would speed up the process tenfold. We have already made a signed agreement with the U.S. officials and we are paying all the necessary taxes for our business. We will also send you a 1099 Form for tax deduction on your part. This job is official and legal according to the U.S. legislation as it is today. You are one step away from being part of our company. Our job is flexible in regards to work hours and place, an opportunity designed to fit around your family's income and time needs. You can earn from $24,000 up to $160,000 a year (depends on your performance) and more after one year working with us. Our company can guarantee $5,500 every month income in your first year of work.
The process itself involves answering e-mails a couple of times per day and going to a bank. This job does not require any kind of experience. It only requires access to the Internet and knowledge to send e-mails. First step in this job is for you to wait at home for checks sent by our American customers on your name as per our instructions. For this to be possible we need your basic personal info such as full name and full address.
Fill in the empty fields in the contract at paragraph 1.2, sign it and send it to us.
We accept an electronic signature as well so you can just fill the contract in your computer and send it back through email system.
IMPORTANT: Please use your computer or typewriter to fill in the empty fields inside the contract. If that is not possible please fill in by hand but legible. After you fill in the contract complete the same info below and send it to us by e-mail.

Can these people be tracked down by phone numbers and addresses? Can't their be some evidence to bust them?
I got the same email/contract Terri copied above..
I replied, did the contract and they sent me a check recently from Roy Coosey. I deposit it but had the bank put a hold on it till it clears their bank so i would know the funds are good and wouldnt get overdraft fees if it bounced. I figured no harm tryn if i follow my own rules...I knew from the start i wasn't gonna send anybody money until i knew it cleared their bank. So 36hr been out the window.
However, I always try to research company backgrounds and asked via email for information and got the response back that the company doesn't have a personal webpage because they deal strictly with hospitals in private contracts, etc. I just had to reply that everyone can be googled for something. I asked for an address, phone and contact person to update my resume and they gave me Elise, a UK address, and a UK Fax (i assume). No number avaliable. I keep asking a lot of questions. I think they finally got tired of me and stopped replying.
Plus i had another red flag when i looked at the return address said Clearwater, FL and the postage said NY, NY....That didn't add up to me if check was supposedly sent by their client.
To bad it's to good to be true!
Hey this is Terri ,
Did you check clear ? I got one from roy coosow ey today , I called the bank and they said there was a account ? let me know
So can someone answer me? This is obviously a scam.. but what do you think would happen if a check happens to clear and you just kept the money? Would they come after you? I mean, it IS a scam afterall and they don't want to be busted.
The check will not clear . its not even a real check . although it looks real the bank cant tell .
Hello my name is Roy Coosey, I found this website trying to find some inside on my bank account and what has happened to it. I did sign up with that business email from Elise Green, I had no clue it was a scam tell I looked at my bank statement for 5 withdrawn checks, good thing they did not clear because they were all for $2820 each! I called the fraud department and they declined the fraud, but since I found this website I now have proof that this was a fraud! I hope that no one else signs up for that scam in the future or they will deal with the same problem!
