Nigerian Internet Bandits (yahoo Boys) Hollywood scam by tmtech: 8:25pm On Oct 06, 2014
Hollywood Big Wigs
Pawns in New Nigerian Money Scam

How would you like to be the assistant to a
MAJOR Hollywood producer? You can get the
job now by going online. You will receive a job
offer and an assignment ... that will ultimately
screw you out of thousands of dollars, thanks to
Nigerian fraudsters.Here's the fraud by the
numbers ...-- People who want to break into
Hollywood post resumes on various websites.
Some of them get an email from people
claiming to be major Hollywood players,
looking for an assistant.-- The "players" -- who
actually register Gmail accounts using the
names of the actual big shots -- offer jobs to
the super-eager applicants from all over the
country.-- The "players" give the applicants a
start date and a first assignment, to get their
feet wet.-- The "players" actually send the
applicants a check to deposit -- usually for $
3,000 -- and then purchase pre-loaded debit
cards. The applicants are told to send the cards
to several charities near and dear to the
"players."-- But since the applicants haven't
even had their first day of work, the "players"
tell them to snap a photo of the debit cards
with the numbers to prove they followed
instructions correctly ... kind of a test.-- The
applicants then dutifully send the pics and the
"players" then execute the fraud by draining
the cards with online shopping. So, by the time
the charity gets the cards the account is dry.As
for the checks ... well, they look like the real
deal, but they're fake. So by the time your bank
figures out the scam, the money is spent and
you're on the hook.We've confirmed the names
of 2 big wigs are being used ... famed director
Louis Leterrier and big-time producer Alex
Orlovsky -- he made Ryan Gosling. We're told
the feds are investigating the case, and we've
learned all of the IP addresses and server
information goes to Nigeria. And everyone has
a friend who's a prince in Nigeria.Welcome to
Hollywood.
