Scam Targets Homebodies

Denise Ellen Rizzo
Tracy Press

Work at home and make easy money.

That is the introduction to the latest scam to hit e-mail inboxes, and police say people are unfortunately buying into it.

The scam invites people to work at home using one of two different ploys.

Some people are invited to work for an investment company cashing checks for their clients. Once they have the cash, they’re told to wire the money to an overseas account.

The problem with this job is that the checks are using someone else’s bank account number. Those duped into cashing them are usually caught by police and then considered to be a suspect in the scam.

“Checks average $1,000 to $2,000 (each),” Detective Marc Bergman said. “They are told they can keep 10 percent of the check and the rest is to be wired.”

The other scam angle invites people to buy goods over the Internet to be sent to overseas locations. The problem with this job is that the purchases are being made with stolen credit card numbers.

Bergman said he is currently investigating Tracy residents who have been reeled in both as victims and as unknowing participants.

Bergman said the red flag in this scam is the overseas locations connected with the jobs. He said the conmen in these scams usually want the money or goods sent to Russia, Nigeria or Romania.

One Tracy woman told Bergman she read about a work-at-home job reading a popular job market listing.

She said she soon found herself being asked to cash checks for a so-called investment firm.

To reinforce the scam, applicants are sent numerous e-mails praising their work with promises of a promotion — the workers are told they must work at least a year to be eligible for better jobs.

He said the check-cashing scam has a small success rate, because most people are caught and usually won’t try it a second time.

Bergman said he traced a stolen Tracy credit card number to a Concord apartment. He said a note on the door regarding Internet-purchased shoes told him he was at the right place.

The woman living there said she began making Internet purchases for a company in mid-November. Although she never got paid, she did receive some clothing.

She told officers she had no idea the credit card number was stolen. She said she felt bad for the person running the ad, because he was posing as a Nigerian pastor.

Since officers can’t trace the case back to the scam artists, the woman is still considered a suspect.

“It’s a worldwide problem. People are looking for a way to make some easy money from home, but it’s all bad,” Bergman said.

“If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.”

Police are urging anyone that receives a too-good-to-be-true e-mail offer should contact police at the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.
