100% scam... I received something similar like this also... All this thing come from scammer on Facebook group

They didn’t even try to sound like an American in this email they sent you. Kudos to you for recognizing the scam.

lazkizz:
if it's real, then I will personally call this a miracle.. because his financially down and this will go a long way in solving some of our financial issues.

Let your brother do a finding about the company, if they're legit it may be true.

drlateef:




You can request collection in person, unless the places are too far. In that case they need address to post the cheque.

A legitimate company in this country would never ask for a third party’s address nor would they even consider sending a check made out to a third party.

I just hope someone is not trying to phish scam you, do a thorough background checks and don’t give out any of your sensitive data to anyone until you confirm it to be authentic
Good luck

I will not gamble on the odds of this Being. Real

Hey bro, I have seen this mail before but I can't figure out where, I am a 3d artist myself so I guess it's a friend that shared it or something.... Be mindful of it bro, just be careful with the whole process.

There are alot of escrow services that clients like this can use to make secure contracts so I do not see the need for all of those requirements.

I swear you don do yahoo before or you be yahoo-girl ?

dominique:
Looks shady to me. There are several payment platforms where you can be paid from anywhere in the world. Why must it be a friend or relative based in the US to pick-up your payment on your behalf?

Americans don't use the word "duplex", they use the words like house, mansion, storey building or apartment complex to describe their structures.

Anybody that wants to contact the op should better tread with caution before you land yourself in hot water

lazkizz:
wow... me and my bro have conclude it's legit, but we don't have anyone in USA.

that's our major consign now.

Play along with them. You lose nothing. So long as your third party is reliable person.

I don’t play along with fraudsters nor would I put a third party at risk of jail and financial ruin.

It may be real.

Anyway, it seems he is underpaying you but it is fair considering you're in Naija.

It is until you receive the upfront 50% before you know it is real.

It's actually more of cashing the cheque that is the issue🥺

ruggedtimi:
all this na long episode....waste of time. They simply need an address to wire a check to the receiver..and overpay or ask for a refund. Which they will now provide either a cashapp tag or paypal or btc wallet for u to pay into ....simple.

You don't understand, he has to finish the work before the payment....

Except if I got it wrong, then he has no problem at all of they will send the money before the work is fully done...

lazkizz:
I will tell him what you just told me.

Alright ...more contracts to your brother...

ruggedtimi:

Oooh....I suspected it

No go enter one chance for any of your relative, sorry of nah bad grammar....you see eh after send you the money, they will later tell you they are not interested again that you should take 300$ out of the money and send the remaining to third party...after some days police go bust the person house if you used anybody account in US.... Let them send the money direct not Cheque...Jaraee

I can see the OP bugging a relative who lives in the USA who he hasn't contacted in a while, even just to say hello.

Now he feels this relative not wanting to dance to this soon to be bitter music does not want him to make it in life.

This life sha. Scammer every where

Icheke scam

yewit37486:


Cheque is the British English spelling, whereas American English uses check.

Edit - I see other people already pointed this out, so no worries.

hello nairalanders

lemme just go straight to the point , my elder bro called me today and told me he just go a gig in the USA .
His an architect , so he applied for the gig online few weeks back. luckily for him they sent him this mail below.


* I recommend you read the mail carefully, am not an architect I don't even understand what's the job description , but my bro knows every details.

* is this legit or it's a scam ??

* and if it's Real ,we don't have and know anyone in the USA..... so pls I will need the help of a good samaritan in the USA to help us with the below requirement.

Thanks.

This is a scam and fake. It’s a new format for Employment. If you are in the US or have a representative what they will do is send you a cashier check when you receive it. They will tell you to cash it and come up with an excuse of why you can’t proceed with the job. They then tell you to keep 10% or so for your troubles and send the remaining to another bogus account or through any payment channel.

My advice ignore them.

IamAsiri:

Send them a business address. There is a website called Wise money transfer. They open dollar account for you with a US address. You can also try Paypal. They also open dollar account for you.

lazkizz:
ok ... after I do that what next ??


thanks for your input .

What he's telling you is to remove the name of the sender from the picture you sent. Why would you show the name to the public? Now you or your brother is prone to scam

Easy to decipher just google name of company offering the job, google the senders name and any form of address, phone number in email then verify company name through customer reviews you will get your answer...
But if you want the short way out let me help you.. its an old format and the target is the person in the usa.. after payment by check the next format will come in while you and ur broda re celebrating your too good to be true windfall, human psychology shows that you will be too blinded by the windfall to notice the trap set in the next format..
They will use 2types of format either excess payment with the balance to be sent to the contractor on site(or any other story) to save transaction costs or phishing game to take control of the accounts of the person you hve in the usa...
Forget those saying do zoom call , men get proxies who will video call you legit.... Be wise.....

kevoh:
You and your brother need a form of insurance payment thats he will not work for nothing like an escrow. Also, open a virtual US account with Geegpay, they can send his money to the account(if the job is legit) and you simply send the naira equivalent to your Nigerian bank account on the same Geegpay within the same day.

Pls is there any app one can use to receive UK pounds which can also allow converting to Naira
