According to TMZ, "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."
TMZ released the names used which are director Louis Leterrier and big-time producer Alex Orlovsky -- he made Ryan Gosling.
The police is already investigating the case and TMZ says the IP addresses comes from Nigeria.

This is a step backward for Nigeria giving the fact that paypal recently removed the ban on Nigeria.

Ebay also has a silent ban on Nigeria. If we continue like this we would reach a stage where doing online transactions as a Nigerian would be almost impossible.
