    shit, my friend is falling for a scam...

    This HAS to be a scam... what do you guys think? Ever heard of this??

    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    girl: you're really pissing me off

    xenigo: well I'm sorry

    xenigo: if I told you I'm transferring $4000 from my bank account to some random person in Latvia, you'd be curious too... at least I'd hope you'd be

    girl: i mean your acting like it's your right to know and if i don't tell you then i am being secretive that bugs me intensley

    girl: curious but not "why are you being so secretive and all that bullshit

    girl: i deal with the us creditors

    girl: they do their money in local checks and the german govt takes longer to clear checks, the clearing process takes up to two months

    xenigo: ok...

    girl: so they pay me commission for cashing and sending the checks because it is cheaper than them waiting 2 months for it to clear on their side

    girl: i have a legal contract it was on the govt i contacted the company who it is with i contacted the govt site people

            I know a couple people who actually do similar things and end up making out just fine. It all depends on the relationship between the two parties. Trusted, or not.

              I am seriously worried about this, what the hell could this possibly be? I knew it was a scam the second she told me about it, but has anyone ever heard of this particular one????

                Yeah, but in Latvia? That's one of those countries KNOWN for this kind of shady shit! Besides, countries have their own people to handle funds. They don't need people in the USA transferring funds from Germany to their country. I dunno, this says scam all over it...

                        A friend of mine that I've known for a couple years, used to live in Sacramento but recently moved to Oregon, and is looking for employment up there. Never thought she'd fall for something like this though...

                          Was it an SMS message? If so, definately a scam.

                            I think this was something she found online, but she is being wayyyyyy secretive about it, and wouldn't tell me hardly anything without throwing a fit.

                              Its a classic scam. She'll never see her money again. She has a legal contract with latvian govt... So when they break the contract all she has to do is goto Latvia to sue

                                      Geez! Even IF it were a "legit" transaction it's likely a money laundering scheme and when the shit goes down she'll be the one holding the bag.

                                                        Bottom line: why the hell would SHE have to put money up first?

                                                        If it's real (it isn't) she should tell the people to send her $4k first to start the business... after all they are claiming they need her service. They need her service, they pay for it. Wake your friend up fast, cause she is never going to see that money again if she sends it.

                                                                  She make money faster, sending me $4,000 a week. The faster I get it, the faster I can get the banks to process the funds and give her one ot two thousand extra back.

I guess she opened a new one to do this with, which isn't going to save her because her SSN is still associated with it. There's no point in waking her up at this point because she's already set that this is what she wants to do... she ripped on me for 2 hours about how I'm such a jerk for "questioning her judgement" about this. I've done what I can, now I'm going to watch her lose $4,000. Expensive mistake I suppose, but that's life.

                                                                    I sent her the link to this thread, and that REALLY set her off. I wouldn't be suprized if she popped in here to defend the Latvian Government...
