Alright so basically i applied to this company, premium art is apparently the name, to be a sales rep. They emailed me back saying, all of our customer store rep positions have been filled however we still may have a job for you anyway. So in there next email they tell me what my job is, and in a lot less words i simply wait for the company to send me a check, today it was about 4300, and then i cash the check into my account. Then i forward the money to them keeping 10 % of whatevers been transfered (an easy 430). I jus wanna know if i can do this without having to worry about anything in the near future, i mean if anything i wont be doing this long as i will be dorming away at college and working there but i just need some quick cash now. Things that raise my suspicions is the fact that i got this ad of craigslist and the fact that this whole thing seems fairly odd. If anything can someone break this down for me? lol? |

Laundering? Yes, that would be 10-15 years. Get the soap on a rope ready and some lube in case the soap slips from the rope. | ||

yeah. you need to report it return the money and get out. Or just bail. That way you don't have a bunch of criminals know your address so they can come kill you. |

They're probably doing some false accounting. Try wiki Money laundering is the practice of engaging in financial transactions in order to conceal the identity, source, and/or destination of money, and is a main operation of the underground economy. In the past, the term "money laundering" was applied only to financial transactions related to organized crime. Today its definition is often expanded by government regulators (such as the United States Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) to encompass any financial transaction which generates an asset or a value as the result of an illegal act, which may involve actions such as tax evasion or false accounting. As a result, the illegal activity of money laundering is now recognized as potentially practiced by individuals, small and large businesses, corrupt officials, members of organized crime (such as drug dealers or the Mafia) or of cults, and even corrupt states, through a complex network of shell companies and trusts based in offshore tax havens. A few examples of money laundering are smurfing or kiting. The increasing complexity of financial crime, the increasing recognized value of so-called "financial intelligence" (FININT) in combating transnational crime and terrorism, and the speculated impact of capital extracted from the legitimate economy has led to an increased prominence of money laundering in political, economic, and legal debate. |

Come on fellas, be smart. It's not money laundering, this is an extremely common scam. It goes like this, i'll substitute in chump for where you fit in this whole scheme. So fuckass scammer sends you a check usually a cashiers check and tells chump to deposit it. Then chump goes to bank and deposits money. Chump thinks WOW! how come other people don't do stuff like this. Chump thinks he is getting a great deal. Chump sends the money from his account to another account thinking that he will do this forever and live like chump king. What chump doesn't know is that even though the money "technically" goes into the bank, the check hasn't actually cleared yet. And when chump "sends" money to this company he is actually sending them his own money that can never be recovered. See because this carefully crafted check bounces around for so long that you think the check is good. But in fact the check has absolutely NO MONEY to its name, so if you are chump enough to send them their "share" what you are actually doing is sending away YOUR OWN MONEY. After the bank realizes the check is false, they will cancel the check and take the money out. Heaven forbid you have spent it or sent it away then they will ask you for the money back that you have unwittingly sent away to scammer. Not money laundering, illegal and shameful yes however. |
