Who called from 2396740960

I received this email on Nov.18, 2013.  I called the operator and gave her the phone number and this number is located in Florida.  This is a scam.  I also sent a request to Workopolis asking them how these people have access to our information.  I hope to hear back from them.  Also, there is another scam going around and I have called the police and reported it with all the information.  see below first scam.

Second Scam is from Russia where they are looking for a representative to cash four cheques a month and to send 95% of the cheque to them and we are to keep the 5% portion.

Here is the reply from the police department pertaining to these scams.  I have also included the website that I received from the RCMP.  

This is 100 percent a fraud.

It's a variation of the overpayment cheque fraud scam- there is an explanation of this on the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre (CAFC) website.

In summary:
Never ever accept a cheque for more than the intended purpose, where the excess is to be wired to a stranger.  The cheque is either counterfeit or stolen.  Bank customers who negotiate these cheques end up being on the hook for the entire amount.
Also, never ever down load a link from an unknown source as shown below- it can cause harm to your computer and allow the offender remote access to your computer- gaining full access to your computer such as your identity information, passwords, and contact information.
And reputable businesses of this size never use gmail and hotmail accounts.  Fraudsters use them because the IP address cannot be traced.

I found a mirror image website of this fraudulent company purporting to be another company with same testimonials that is also fraudulent.

Susan can report this online to the CAFC

There are several other red flags but these are the glaring ones.

Hope this helps.

This is exact thing they send. I responded and wanted more information.
I knew there is a catch, and I checked with BBB, they are not listed.

Thank you all for the input.

I received the same email; and, like Davinder's brother, I was to complete my task of transferring money to an individual in Russia. These were the instructions:

1. 95% of the amount you send to our manager , 5% of the amount you leave yourself, this is your bonus on each transaction.

2. Make a transfer to the nearest Western Union / Money Gram office. Please note Western Union / Money Gram transfers should be addressed to the person. Ask the operator to subtract off and tell you the final amount for the receiver.

When filling out the form on the western office of the Union, please make it payable to our local project manager:


First Name: KONSTANTIN VIKTOROVICH


Surname(Last Name): ASYRBEKOV


COUNTRY: RUSSIA


CITY: MOSCOW


ADDRESS: PUSHKIN st.4-12


PHONE NUMBER :  +7 981 745 8526


If for some reason the operator will ask you:

Q - Do you know the person you are sending money personally?
- Yes

- What is the reason for transfer?
- Personal use

Important: Please carefully check the spelling of the name. Please note that there is no need to specify any middle name.
Currency: USD.

3. Go back home as soon as possible and confirm the shipment.

4. Fill out the "{WU form / form of MG}" and send it back to me. In order to prevent any errors Scan a document that was given to you in the office and attach it to the letter.

If you encounter any problems in the process, do not hesitate to contact me immediately.

My bank is aware of the situation, and the fraud department has been notified.
