This blog is not frequently updated because most case-by-case scam reports are now listed in subordinate blogs. At this point in time, most of my efforts are targeted at documenting employment scams in the Suckers Wanted blog.

Job Scam: Travel Tour Guide

This is the usual dodgy "money laundering thinly disguised as payment processing" job scam. There is no genuine connection to careerbuilder.com -- this is just name-dropping on the part of the scammer to lend the scam an air of legitimacy. The only domain really operated by the scam artist is "travel-tour-guide.com", registered on 2005-06-23 through YESNIC. The website at www.travel-tour-guide.com is staggeringly elaborate, and although much of it is plagiarised from Let's Go, it's obviously a large investment in time and effort. This is a highly organised and premeditated scam.

The spam was received from 213.213.214.7 on Wed, 31 Aug 2005 21:05:30 -0000.

The leading Internet job site www.CAREERBUILDER.com presents unique
part-time job proposal from International tour agency Travel Tour Guide.
That job position was called "Job of The Year-2004" and it is actual now
because of end of summer and best prices for Travel Tour Guide proposals in
Internet.

Do you want to start a successful carrier right now without any entrance
fees, without buying goods or involving other people? Do you want to start
a successful carrier in financial sphere without economical education or
special experience? . So this is a chance for you.

Travel Tour Guide is happy offering you to apply for one of the open
financial manager positions. This is a unique proposal because while
examining you as applicant only your criminal records and credit history
will be looked through. All they demand from you is to check your e-mail
several times a day and to have a valid bank account or to open a new one.

The main option of financial manager's job is to receive funds on personal
bank account with future remittance to Travel Tour Guide. Manager gets 5%
from every remittance. So every financial manager of Travel Tour Guide has
an opportunity of getting 800-900 USD per week.

Travel Tour Guide resumed that position because of regular bank wires last
for 3-5 days. Such long period prevents them from selling hot tours.
Besides the world leading payment systems like Visa and MasterCard
decreased the limits for Internet payments. The activity of financial
managers in various regions became a rescue for wide range of on-line
companies which sells good up to bank limits.

Travel Tour Guide has already got the network of financial managers working
worldwide. They have got a high demand at the beginning of the autumn in
Western Europe so the managers can not process all the transactions in
time. So company resumed that vacancy in Europe.
Please forward your letter to info@travel-tour-guide.com and you will be
sent the detailed job description and also you can ask for application
form.

If you are not interested in this job offer you can visit www.CAREERBUILDER.com.
A lot of vacancies from more than 75000 employers can be found there.
