Beware anyone on Yahoo messenger, there is the scam with an unsuspecting individual is asked to cash money orders sent by people in the US, in reality these are fake or old address. The money orders are sent to the "Employee's" house via Fedex or UPS so they can't be nailed with mail fraud. Then the person cashes the money order at the bank and then sends out the money via western union to Nigeria or so they want you to believe. well after a few days or maybe a week the person who cashed the money orders gets a nice phone call from the bank saying the money orders are fraud. and now you are in the whole for whatever amount you cashed. People beware of this scam, because all you are going to get is There's not much we can do from the post office, police, bank, western union, FBI, state attorney general, and the national fraud center. everywhere you turn no one will help or is willing so you are pretty screwed.
The individual who is going around goes by the name of Sandra Linos, and you are sending "payments" to a man named MR. Franics Oluga in Nigeria.
Beware these people will say anything to get your trust and will ask you to do anything to get there money and say they have ties to the fbi incase you try to run with there money. so stay clear of this scam i just got screwed alot of cash.
Last thing, when you get involved with these people they say don't call the police, because there is no reason for them to get involved, that's why i think they are based in this country so beware. Related link: Scam Scam Scam

I almost fell for this scam I did a little research and found this website There are many more names to add to the list. she or he whomever is running this scam is trying to lead me on right now, I plan on just turning the fake money orders into the athorities when I get them. It realy sucks that the athorities can do nothing about this. I hope that Nigeria will pass some laws and take care of there not so little problem.

I just got an email from someone who scammed me last year and he says that he wasn't involved in the Money Order scam but that the person involved had gone to jail. This contact of mine, emailed me this week to ask about working for Lantex and opening a bank account at B of A for American "associates". I almost fell for it until I saw this website. You can contact the FBI and complain at this website: www.ic3.gov to make a formal complaint. If we get enough people to do this, maybe we can stop it in it's tracks. Good Luck,
Robyn

Thanks for the tip. I recently was contacted by "linn" on myspace with this scam. I was suspicious as well and was going to cash these with a check cashing service instead of my personal bank account. I tracked the original mailing to Spain. Hopefully, this will help someone else.

i recently fell victim to these scam artists. I received a check for 3,000.00 and took it to my bank. I told the scammer that I had to wait til check cleared. He was very persistant on me getting him a money gram for 3,000. I said no..not until check clears...well it never cleared and I received a copy of the phone check back. I hate scammers. it is a real shame that honest people fall victim to these creeps. I heard from him through myspace. I reported him to myspace and he hasn't been back on since. beware of all of them..debbie.

I have been getting these PM’s from these people, however I am playing with them, although I have not gotten anything from them I am leading them on to believe that I am truly interested in this deal I have even made a comment that I would be willing to move large sums of cash for them, honestly do these people think that we are that stupid to fall for something like this? Unbelievable! The paper that they sent to me for me to sign was what really caught my attention, how lame does a person have to be? I mean have you all seen this? Well I can tell you this, I was able to get them to contact me, by phone, however during this conversation I had with them they were being taped by the local authorities, for they are the ones that want me to pursue this, however at no time will I sign any information with my signature, that would be just as foolish. I encourage anyone who is reading this and has had contact with these people to contact your local internet provider, they are able to record all information possible, and run traces, however even though they can do this, it is very difficult for them to find these people, and to put a stop to it. I also found out just a few moments ago that Yahoo themselves are conducting an investigation of their own with the Federal government to put a stop to this, however at this time I have no proof that they are doing anything, it was just something that I have heard, but if I do happen to get any information on these people I will come back and let you know then.

I think I nearly got caught on this one too - fool that I was! Chatting to what I thought was a real babe on Yahoo, getting along fine and then she askes me to open an account in my name to transfer some cash from some guy who can only send a draft who owes her company - Lantex - some money. Well, I agreed, and while I waited for the draft to arrive hear in the UK, carried on chatting to this woman - she is using the yahoo ID: 'employee231'. She told me that she lives in London but was in Nigeria doing some business for her company. Her English was terrible - not a good sign for someone born and bred here - but this is not uncommon among some ethnic minorites here, but what started to alert me was the fact that she kept using American English - no one in the UK uses American English. When I asked casually where she lived, she gave me an address - in bits - one piece at a time, that didn't look right at all. So I looked up Lantex on Goggle and found that her address as given was the address of a small textile company in the North of England called 'Lantex' - with no connections in Nigeria.
By this time I had the draft and had paid it in and the funds seemed to have cleared into my account. Fortunately, alarm bells began really ringing loudly as more and more stuff that this 'woman' told me just didn't add up, and so I went to the bank - with a scan I had made of the draft (a Fexco draft that had arrived via UPS)and they are chasing it back down to source and have pulled the 'funds' on this draft until we find out whether it ultiamtely bounces or not - it will. It will cost me a little in bank charges maybe (converting the draft from Euro's to sterling - I mean, anyone who lives in the UK knows we don't use Euro's here - why send a draft made out in Euro's?)but at least I won't have got stung for the $2,000 (approx) that I could have done...be aware! Thanks for this site - I didn't know the Lantex connection was so widespread....

OK - followed the 'scam scam scam' link above and that lead me straight to the Lantex company in the north of England - didn't know that the company was a fake also. THe 'lady' that I am talking too is going by the name of Alice Wison or Alice John, and the pick up in Lagos, Nigeria for the money is known as Olabanji Korede in Ikeja city.

I've got a person "diana_king23". Same story; cash a $4000 check and get $600 in return. "We're starting up a new branch in Nigeria. blah blah blah..." Actually got a phone number where to contact her but it's not worth my time. It's some Indian or middle easterner or someone--broken english, doesn't really know it that well. Stay away!! Post on myspace.com if you can!

I thought I would see just how widespread this thing is and typed 'Lantex' into the yahoo members directory - quite a few came up. Even one with the ID: 'lantextextiles' - had quite a long conversation with this one - good English, so convincing, and he tried to recruit me for the usual 10% or $300 per transaction. Kept him chatting for quite a long time before I blew my cover and had a good belly laugh at his expense. Here is a quote from him: "You will never find us. We are INVISIBLE". Have reported him to Yahoo to have his acocunt closed down, but he will just start another one. There has to be a way of stopping these people - the authorities are useless frankly.

On the trail of these people, I thought I would have a chat with diane_king23 also. Whoevever it is added me and when they saw who I was (after I had given 'Lantextextiles' a good verbal-bashing the day before) their exclamation was 'S**t...who are you and how'd you find me?' I ignored that one, and threw a few names at 'Diane': Alice Wison, Alice John, Olabanji Korede and Mary Asley Macaulay as well as a couple of others and the reply was 'we do the same thing, no waste your time'. The impression I get from the conversations I have had is that they all know each other which suggests a network small enough for everyone TO know each other, and also that they are not working together, but probably in competition with each other, but all using the same tried-and-tested scam technique. Some other YahooID's to beware of: 'sufiat_555' and 'rose_luv_work' - there are others too.

Hi, it was good to read your posting. I was the victim of someone named Sara Donalds whose e-mail is saraluv@yahoo.com. This person was responding to a posting I made on Craigs list.com for a roomate. They wanted deposit a large check into to my account and take a portion out for rent and them wire the remains to a travel agent. I feel very violated and pray no one else gets taken in by thiese individuals.

I am in contact with Sara Donalds right now and I am also looking for a roommate. She tells me that she is from the U.K. working with the textile company. She says she wants to rent my room and would like to wire transfer money into my account using wells fargo. Here is the odd part, I want her to usa paypal.com but she insists that I open one up. I don't trust her at all now. What happened to you Jane Meredith?

It should be pointed out that the real Lantex company, owner of the lantex web site linked in this thread, is in fact a respected and respectable company, that has been the unwitting victim of the employment scam reported in this thread, so no blame at all should go to the real lantex company. Check out some additional interesting info on this scam at ScamDex. This is a fake document used to trick the victim to believe he/she is now employed at Lantex:

juliet2547374: Beware anyone on Yahoo messenger, there is the scam with an unsuspecting individual is asked to cash money orders sent by people in the US, in reality these are fake or old address. The money orders are sent to the "Employee's" house via Fedex or UPS so they can't be nailed with mail fraud. Then the person cashes the money order at the bank and then sends out the money via western union to Nigeria or so they want you to believe. well after a few days or maybe a week the person who cashed the money orders gets a nice phone call from the bank saying the money orders are fraud. and now you are in the whole for whatever amount you cashed. People beware of this scam, because all you are going to get is There's not much we can do from the post office, police, bank, western union, FBI, state atto

juliet2547374: I almost fell for this scam I did a little research and found this website There are many more names to add to the list. she or he whomever is running this scam is trying to lead me on right now, I plan on just turning the fake money orders into the athorities when I get them. It realy sucks that the athorities can do nothing about this. I hope that Nigeria will pass some laws and take care of there not so little problem.

I have received a 4,000 dollar check from a woman claiming to be Racheal. She said she worked for Lantex Manufacturing and needed someone to forward money to England. I know for sure this was a scam and reported it to the FBI and they never returned my call. I know for sure who ever this person is Foriegn because of the way they were writing me in broken english. I figured it was a money laundering scam. The last time I heard from this Racheal she/he asked if I had received the check I said yes and gave it to the FBI. I never heard from this Racheal again and still have the 4'000 dollar check.
