Job Scam: CHUGAI PHARMACEUTICAL CO.
Here's the latest "launder money for criminals pretending to be a legitimate business" job offer I've received. There may be a real "CHUGAI PHARMACEUTICAL CO.", but I'll wager long odds that wang.yongqiu@laposte.net has nothing to do with it.

I received an email from these guys yesterday looking for a "payment officer". It immediately looked like a scam, so I replied to their email to get more info about their company. I can't upload the letter they sent me from my phone, but these examples should give you an idea of how big of a scam they are.
Job details:Contact customers,receive payments via check, cash, money order,keep records of transactions, update Chugai regularly on info mentioned above.
Applicant requirements:
Current job (IMPORTANT)
Largest amount of check cashed before (IMPORTANT )
Name of my bank (IMPORTANT)
Home and office address
Home, cell, and office phone, fax number
Current/previous company name
Current/previous job position
Scan or copy I.D. to send to them
This sounds like a big scam to me. Of course, I would NEVER give them my financial info! I just thought I'd find out what they were about. They're all about sending you fake money orders and checks that look real. The bank will cash them cuz the look real but have stolen or already cashed numbers on them. You will send the money to Chugai Pharmaceuticals by Western Union or by another money wiring company, and by the time your financial institution realizes you cashed a fake check/money order, Chugai has their money and you'll end up in jail for cashing fake checks. Please don't fall for this people! My ex-husband got involved in one of these a few years ago. The money was never retrieved from the fraudulent company to recover the negative balance of over $5,000, and we were stuck having to repay the bank for that negative balance. This is a bad idea folks, very bad idea...
I, just received a letter from chugai pharmaceuticals with the exact same information as yours. Knew it was spam but couldn't figure out the game. Thank you soo much for your posting, as you will save many individuals great hardship in falling for this scam.....many many thanks!
I just recieved an email also!
I got the same letter except my salary was to be $8200 per month plus 5% of payment. Tried to verify cashiers check thru proper channels and they said the amount does no match the orginal check. If you look at the top of the check it states that there is micro printing in the border, this cannot be copied, so be sure and check that. The water marks mean nothing, but the micro lettering tells it all.No micro printing means copy of orginal sheck, leave it alone and do not take to the bank and cash it.
I received one of these emails today. 5/28/12
About 3 weeks ago I received a letter and I "check" in the mail just out of the blue.
I immiditley looked at the check and right away I knew it was fake. As I work in printing and make checks all day long. The watermark was totally fake and served no purpose. I ran the check through a micr reader and it wasn't ever printed with micr ink so it could not be read by a bank nor cashed. Completely Rediculous and a scam.
I checked my emails tonight this is what arrived........11/06/12

Thanks everyone for your input. I just recevied the same message today. And the funny thing about it was I never applied for this job. So why would Japan be contacting me.
I have received the same. they want a cashier's check for $10.00 so they can get the routing # to create an account in my name. I questioned this from day one and was seeing how far they would go. I have not received anu checks and would not have cashed it anyway. Don't fall for this!!!!!
I received this email too (i'm French living in France), I answered because I'm speaking Japanese so it could be serious, and they asked me for the bigger amount check I had these last months, very strange…
Thanks for your posts, now I am sure it is a scam!
I received the same email from these people. I believe it is a scam. I would not, under ANY circumstances, send them any information whatsoever concerning personal information.
I just received the same email. I also get about 5 - 6 others a week from "world bank", "UN fund for Africa", etc. They all come into my gmail email address only, so they must be getting a gmail address list somehow. I automatically delete them. Never Respond!!!!
I just received this email and I thought it was a scam so I decided to research it and I am glad I did. This is what I received this is all I received. 10-17-2012.

I got the same shit from these people! Today! Really, anybody whos stupid enough to believe there employees seeking assistance from the U.S. has got to be so gullable. Especially a email with @gmail.com at the end of the return email and no legit layout in the email showing company advertisement! Reading these other posts is showing me there so fucking stupid by all the different names there going by!
I just got the same scam today is Nov. 14 2012
I got the same one too! Today is 11/15/2012. I have been looking for a job, however I never applied to any, in Japan, or medical, or "payment officer". And it sure dosen't look like a professional reply. Thanks all, for the info.
This is huge, people helping others. Receiving the same email yesterday and asking for them to give me a little more information before I sent them any information, they sent me the same long email in response.
So of course I went straight to Google to see what I could find out from ethical people such as yourselves.
Thanks All, another one to delete without any care.

Occupation: scam thief hunter
I told them to fu## off!!
These people are ridiculous. They are posting local administrative /secretary jobs on Craig list that look legit. Then you apply for a local office job and you get this crap! I am irritated because 3 jobs i applied for, sent me some stupid crap like this. If you were such a great company, why can't your clients send payment right to you! Why go through a 3rd party and lose a percentage. Doesn't make sense because it bogus. Get real jobs like we are trying to do, you losers. I am done searching Craigslist for any jobs because of people like this.

It's truly pathetic that there are people out there in today's world who are providing things like name, etc. Especially, when something is fishy. Additionally, my questioned concern is how did they get the person's name and freakin address to mail a check to? Really people, use your heads for more than a hat rack. Your info can be swiped simply by your name and address...totally remarkable what people will do and then think "Aha!! Yep a scam, the check didn't verify" Well duh, of course it did not...info intel 101 - don't give your name, and especially your address and of course banking info...as long as there are stupid people there will be scam artists.
I got one yesterday the min. I told them to get lost I got a email back saying they didn't know me & didn't know how I got there email with a long cussing o f foul words that started with these letters F. B. C. W. Etc. What a scam! & when caught they don't handle that well either. Wouldn't expect no less from them. WORTHLESS...
This is absolutely a scam. Chugai is a real company though. They really are a global pharmaceutical company. Not sure what products the Japanese branch works on but most of US branch is in oncology research. I work for a recruitment agency and we've done work with them in the past. They have a branch in the US in NJ so I'm sure somehow the real company will take action against these scammers using their name.
They wanted me to invest. i was contacted by a certain Donald Grimsley from UK ( donald0grimley@hotmail.com ) . mail as below.
Hi,
I have great business opportunity that I want to share with you if you accept to be my partner . I really do appreciate the fact that you responded swiftly . I can assure you that this is a great opportunity of a life time which we must not allow to slip off our fingers.Yes Mr.George ,your friend already told me about you and asked me to send full detail about this business partnership. If you can handle this business very well you will earn above $400,000 monthly as income. I would have been appointed to join the team but for health reasons I will no longer make the trip,I have been on daily observation for a chronic ailment and my doctors insist I report every day so I am not permitted to travel for now but never mind I will guide you all the way.
Your timely response will be appreciated.
Donald Grimley
