Here's the mail so check if you've recieved it and delete it.

Just plain honestyThis type of scam is very popular at the moment. The scammers always use a legitimate business to give a sense of trustworthiness to the poor sap who might be tempted to join. They can do a search for the company and find a very impressive and genuine web site. This is enough for some to go back to the scam eemail and provide personal details that, in a rational mood, they would never do on line. (It is some time since I was a member of the RAC but, as far as I can see, if they actually sold vehicles, they would lose an enormous amount of credibility with members who use it as an independent and authoritative body for information on motor vehicles.) This scam has been around for a while but it still gets a lot of 'recruits' because the 'mark' does not seem to understand that the banking system in most of the world actually precludes the collection problems the scammer is claiming. The whole point of the scam is to get your bank details (which you need to provide in order for the ridiculously lucrative 'payments' to be received before you pass on the (typically) 90% to the company. A really nasty aspect of this scam is that, often, the mark will sign up and immediately receive a cheque for a substantial sum. Having been totally suckered in, the mark will forward 90% of the sum by bank transfer - which will, of course, clear before the cheque bounces. Jan 1st 2008 11:58 |
This sounds like a classic "money laundering" scheme. Not just a scam but a potential jail term if you get involved. It sounds like an attempt to avoid banks, taxes and scrutiny. Thanks for the heads up.
