Ramona, you should go after the hosting companies also. They are REQUIRED BY LAW to shut down sites with bogus registration.

My name is Ramona and my website is located at www.webnetpresence.com. I am writing to you with a serious concern that I have regarding the fake check scam that is taking advantage of your company name and has to date claimed over 650 victims.

My concern is that CareerBuilder.com hasn’t done enough to warn their consumers (job seekers) about the scam and how it works. I’m also concerned that CareerBuilder.com has been contacted by each one of these victims and still hasn’t done anything to assist in putting a stop to this scam.

I am aware that you have a “fraud” link at the bottom of your web pages, however, I haven’t seen anything on that page that talks about this scam, how it works, how long they have been actively using CareerBuilder.com to reel in victims, or how long this scam has been actively recruiting victims using your database.

I’m begging for your assistance to help minimize the victim ratio by providing an e-mail message to all consumers (job seekers) of your services of this scam and all necessary information related to this scam. I feel this would be an awesome prevention tactic to spare anymore heartache to additional victims.

Once a person has fallen victim to this scam, they are left facing felony fraud charges and owe their banks thousands of dollars. Let’s not forget that the victims of this scam are job seekers, meaning unemployed and very possibly living on minimum funds.

Also, let’s keep in mind that the victims of this scam became easy prey just by the simple fact that the scammers are using CareerBuilder.com’s job poster board e-mail message which immediately leaves people prone to trusting the job offer. Are you concerned at all that these scammers are fraudulently using your company name to steal funds from innocent job seekers? I am begging once again for your assistance.

Maybe a full length page on your website featuring the web template these scammers use and the job offer they send out would be helpful. Could you consider this at all, please?! I have all the information regarding these scammers and would be more than happy to provide it for you if you would just please adhere to my pleas for assistance. Let’s work together to prevent anymore victims. I have attached some letters from victims of this scam detailing their horrible situations and how they became prey to this scam.

Feel free to contact me directly at if you have any more questions or concerns.

I am actively writing articles and letters and marketing them as best as I can to inform the public of this fraudulent use of your company name, I would be happy to do the same informing people of how your company stepped forward to assist with stopping this scam’s success rate as well.

Thank you for your time.

I have a subject to this check scam recently. How do I go by getting relief from or compensation from this situation. I am currently out of $4487.00. Please help me

Dear Ramona,

Unfortunately I came across your site after I realized that I've been a victim of the fake job posting scam from Careerbuilder.com.

I signed the "contract" two weeks ago, and just this past week I send the two donations. Only God knows how devastating this is to me. I'm a hard
worker who was looking to make some extra money so that I could finish the
recording of my first Christian music album, which is a project that I'm doing with one of my best friends Lilian. We sacrificed so much to try to get this project finalized because on the weekends we go to different churches and youth events and we have heard so many people tell us what a blessing it is for them to hear our music. We have spent over $3500 and still need $2,500 more to finish it. That is why when I saw this job opportunity I jumped right on it. You would not believe how emotional and grateful I was when I received the check for $4500 and realized that I was going to be able to keep $315 (7%) of it. I thought to my self, wow, what a blessing! I even got on my knees and thanked God for such blessing. Ramona, I have to confess my faith is being tested right now because I don't understand how this has happen to me, after I was depending so much on the Lord. I don't ever question God, and I tell you this time I really cannot see the reason behind this great trial.

Fortunately I was able to stop the payment of the second "donation" $1900, I sent to Ukraine via Wester Union (which I'll be picking up from WU this afternoon and will redeposit it to my bank account). Right now I have "0" dollars available to me, I had use the cash my brother paid me for the car insurance that is under both of our names. My account as of right now is on -$4,044.42. After depositing the $1900 I will still owe the bank $2144.42. I truly cannot afford this, and now I'm going to have to find this money to pay the bank back, and I have no clue when we'll be able to finish the production of our CD. My spirit is down to the ground, but I do want to thank you for the information you share and I will do as you suggest to inform the different agencies and I will write to careerbuilder.com etc. The name of the representative of this scam is Brian Edwards, and the site that was given to me was www.almaryhome.org.

Thank you!

Sincerely

Hello. Hope your day is going better than mine. I put my resume on CareerBuilder. I was looking for a part-time job that would supplement my income. Two weeks ago I was contacted via e-mail with a job post as a donations collector / cashing courier for a non-profit organization, Alberta International. The scope of the job included me cashing funds and wiring them to destinations as instructed. My payment was to be a percentage of each donation. At first I thought it wasn't legit. I checked out their website. I asked what I thought to be the correct questions when I responded to the e-mail - the answers I received seemed truthful. I searched the internet for fraud victims associated with Alberta International and did not find any (I found your website a little too late.) I was even sent a contract to complete and fax. This all made me feel like it was the "real deal". Well, since then I have learned the difference between "available" funds and "collected" funds. I cashed a cashier's check on Monday. (The envelope it was sent in matched the website. Again, making me feel it was legit.) The funds were "available" on Tuesday and I made two Western Union wires as instructed. Today I tried to get gas and my card was declined. The cashier's check was returned and the full amount deducted from my account. It was $4500. I now have a very large negative balance. I sent my contact an e-mail but I doubt I'll get a response. And of course, the wired money has already been picked up. I contacted my bank's fraud hotline and plan on going to the bank in the morning. I also found several agencies to contact to report the fraud via your website. Do you have any further advice on the actions I should take? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'm feeling pretty stupid and embarrassed about the whole thing.

Thanks in advance,

*******************************************************
Dear Ramona,

I am a victim of Elyna International's check scam, to the tune of 4500$. I have been contacting the apppropriate agencies, as best I can, I think

As for now, besides feeling like a total stupid, fool, I am trying to figure out how to avoid prossecusion from my bank. What are my next steps?

Thanks,

*******************************************************
Ramona~

I deposited a check for $4,500 Feb. 27th and just TODAY found out that the check was bad and my account has a huge negative balance. My bank first treated me like I was a criminal and has come around and realized that this wasn't done purposely. I don't know how this is oging to carry out (with my bank and all), I'm assuming that I'm now going to be forced to close my account which I have had for many years. You mentioned on Scam.com that you had some good news that couldn't be posted publicly,,could you please share? I could use some good news seeing as though my world has been turned upside down and I lost about 3 hours from work today trying to take care of some things. I would appreciate ANY news actually. Thank You!
****************************************************
In early February, I received what looked like an official e-mail from CareerBuilder.com. March 2nd, I received a real official e-mail from CareerBuilder.com. But it was too late. This is my story... Mr. Joris Verbeek of The Netherlands contacted me, wanted me to accept checks and send them via Western Union to his "clients" in Europe. The first check I received was for $2,890. I received it on President's Day so I could not take it to the bank, though I wish I had done. Instead I took it to the local jewelry and loan shop and had it cashed. I kept my "commission" and sent the rest to someone in Manchester, United Kingdom. I believed it to be illegal, but not for the reasons that it turned out to be. I feared it might have something to do with tax evasion, as that seemed to be the purpose of the e-mail. However, it was not tax evasion, but counterfeited checks. I did this out of sheer desperation. I lost my job in December due to "down-sizing" and I have been scrambled for money ever since. I have applied, through CareerBuilder, for at least 100 jobs in that time, and heard back from nearly a quarter of those. And this one... I fear it will ruin my life. But I deserve it for being so utterly stupid. I should've checked the e-mail headers -- they were coming from Yahoo! and a domain hosted by "chillydomains.com", originating in, according to my research, San Fransisco and upstate New York. I have contacted the FBI, and I will call my Secret Service field agent in the morning. And as all this happened, my friends had learned about this in their college business courses. But it was too late for me -- I had already made the mistake. This website is a valuable resource for anyone who is desperately searching for a job.. CareerBuilder is not to be trusted... I would like to conclude by offering advice. Look at your e-mail headers, and search for something similar to this: Received: from Site.CareerBuilder.com ([66.45.112.141]) I believe the "Joris Verbeek" person had spoofed the CareerBuilder e-mail, whereas the e-mail I received today is legit. Other people need not suffer as I undoubtedly will... check all your e-mail headers... look for suspicious things from fake domains and free e-mail servers. Thank you for this website. I only wish I had found it earlier, and that I was not so desperate for some kind of income. No matter how desperate I may become in the future, I will never act it. That is the best defense against these things... constant vigilance... and never act out of desperation. Now, if only I can convince the loanshark that I am a victim, not a criminal...

Dear Ramona,

Your website is wonderful. I too, unfortunately have dealt with Concordia. My bank is working with me to pay them back but it is very frustrating. I contacted my local police department, FBI and CIA as well as Career Builder. The Police Department didn't want to believe me at first until they spoke with the State Police who informed them of many of these scams.

Thank you for building your website.

> Hi Ramona,
>
I been looking at your website. I was recently a victim... just realized it today in the AM as I felt my world crashing down on me. I sent you another email to you other address as I wanst sure how to hopefully get in contact with you and perhaphs you could assist me or give me some advice, guidance as to what to do? What you did?

I owe the bank or well am in negative of $4,500.00 thanks to Adeona I have no idea how I am going to pay the bank back as I dont have the money. This is why of course I was looking for a partime job. I feel so
confussed, lost?!?!?

I want to thank you ahead of time for you time.
>
> S**************************
I was approached Robert Miller from Adeona. They offered me a position cashing courier. They told me they were operating out of Netherlands.

I was told that I need to cash checks at my credit union and then withdraw the money and Western Union it to overseas.

I did 2 transfers. The third transfer could not take place as the bank froze my account. I have been told I could face criminal penalities.

It is amazing to me that when people post their resume's out on well known organisations like Monster, Hotjobs and CareerBuilder you can be victim of
internet fraud. They should be partially responsible as they should at least screen companies before they let them access to people's personal data.

How can I get my money back?
What are the good news you have?


***************************

I"ve got tons more but hope this would be sufficient to prove how serious this situation is. Please help! You have the power and the means.
