		<description>The scam is still alive and kicking in 2010.
I went through the whole process, edit texts for a week, then they want me to accept payments and send them money via Western Union.
I even got a check and deposited it and then told them I would not send them any money and would not do business with them. This after reading the numerous blogs about it.
Company name is International Dating Co. and Global Marriage Agency.
Meanwhile, I have a balance in my account and alerted my bank who told me that they can&#039;t do anything until the check bounces.
So the money sits in my account and I have heard NOTHING from the scammers.
I guess the money will disappear when the bank gets notification that the funds don&#039;t exist.
BE CAREFUL everyone, this looks too good to be true and is a SCAM!!!!</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s the rest of the story, as the late Paul Harvey used to say.
After a week, they tell you that they no longer need you as a proofreader, but that they have a new position for you, processing payments from their US clients. They ask you to open a checking account and their customer makes a deposit into it. You keep 5%, and wire the rest to Russia. The scam is that the money they deposit was stolen (by a forged check or other means), so you are transferring stolen money out of the country. Dangerous and illegal.

RUN AWAY from this one!</description>

		<description>Looks like these people are now spamming out the proofreading gig under &lt;b&gt;Ran-De-Vou Co.&lt;/b&gt;.

		<description>Has this actually worked for anyone to make money?  Legally, I mean?  If everyone here did one month of proofreading and then the company asked for bank info to pay, at which time everyone here did not give bank info, that makes for a lot of free proofreading, right?  Who in the USA would help you get paid?  The Dept of Labor?  I don&#039;t want to be involved in a money scam, but I also don&#039;t want to work for free for every company for a month to find out later it is a money scam.  There is a foreign dating website at dating.ru  that could be making legit money.  Thanks, everyone, for submitting.</description>

I wasn&#039;t sure how I was going to edit texts in Russian, but hey, if they thought I was good enough then it&#039;s not a problem.

		<description>yeah, I got this email from a classified ad posted on a reliable website, only to find it a scam. I thought there were REAL legitimate online jobs out there, but I guess not. Ugh. 


Thanks for the post.... things got really shady when I translated dating.ru from Russian into English and quickly discovered the mail order bride thing. Everything everyone said above is true... they send you the same texts, different email addresses every time. Shady. Shady. Shady. 

Oh, and its a spam scam!</description>

		<description>I received something similar, replied with &quot;Tell me more&quot;, 
and the following is what they sent me next (from a different email address, 
so they jump from one to another to stay one step ahead of being shut down).

Other than my email, I replied with all false info, including a fake phone number with too few digits, 
so I will update you all when/if the next reply comes.  

These are the kind of people I like to mess with.  I go sign THEIR email address up for all kinds of other SPAM.  If they send me text to correct, I will send it back in worse shape, etc.  If/when they eventually ask for a bank account number I will seriously mess with them, and lure them to some federal honeypots.  Depending upon where they are physically located, they might get arrested.

the companies.
 Company helps to deliver flowers, gifts, tickets and other to people which
are in other country. So for example if the American wishes to marry the
girl from Russia that thanks to us it can send money for the ticket what it
has arrived to it. But that the girl would not deceive him it addresses to
us we call up to the girl we check its co-ordinates and we inform it. This
little about our company.
Our company works with such companies as:

www.dating.de
www.dating.be
Further we will send you texts which you should correct. Work not difficult,
it is simple our company there is in Belgium instead of in USA, and
consequently English not our native language. But we a have a lot of clients
from usa and we wish to communicate with them competently. 1kb it is a
little you will see when receive the text. Yes we pay 7$ each kilobyte of
the text.
Payment is made in a month after the work beginning. We do payment from
Western Union or Money Gram.As at sending the commission nearby 30$

		<description>I just set up my own proofreading website a couple of weeks ago and then suddenly last week this email came in. I figured it was a scam since they give a gmail address for you to reply to and the email just sounded too dodgy. I checked the email it was sent from and it was a different address. I didn&#039;t reply. Then today I got a second email, the same as the first but with a different gmail address to reply to and with it being sent from a different person and different email address. That&#039;s when I decided to come and see if the scam was written about online - and lo and behold, I found this page giving me confirmation. Thanks!</description>
