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: jointogether@myway.com or dr.milk23@yahoo.com pretending to be Wanlida Textile Company Ltd

This is a fairly blatant money laundering job scam. It was sent directly to the contact address for this blog, which is unusual, but I'm not sure what specific significance it has.

The spam refers to "Wanlida Textile Company Ltd" and the domain "wj-wanlidasilk.com". That domain name was registered for seven years back in 2003, so I would guess that it's a genuine company, and that our scammer has nothing to do with it whatsoever. The contact email addresses being used (myway.com and yahoo.com) are free webmail services, meaning that the addressee could be anyone, anywhere. The telephone number, on the other hand, incorporates the country code for Hungary (assuming that the number is real at all, and written with the full international prefix).

We export into the Canada/America and parts Europe. We got your email through Business Directory.

In our just concluded Annual General Meeting (AGM), we decided to search for a representative who can help us establish a medium of getting to our customers in Europe and America as well as making payments through the representative as our payment officer.
I, as the CEO of this multinational company hereby relate with you because of the communication problem faced by most of our Board Members, since many of them cannot read, speak or write English language except Chinese, which is our official language. In view of this you are expected to relate directly with me as the company representative since I decided to contact you and give them frequent update about our activities. Most of our customers have problem in making payment to us, as we do not run foreign accounts.
About 90 percent of our customers prefer to pay through Certified Cheques and Money orders or bank transfers based on the amount involved.
