Nigerian Princes Now Work for Monster

I wasn't going to put anything up today - frankly because I'm a lazy ass. But this warrants 1) A warning and 2) A chuckle.

As I was checking my email account - not the spam email that I sign up for retarded shit with - I got this Gem in my inbox:

I absolutely suck at posting screengrabs, so if you can't read that it's from Jaret Wyetzner, and the subject is "Vacancy available". Looking at his full email address - you see "jaretwyetzner60@live.com".

Ok. This seems valid, right? Probably not. But when you open it, this is the first image that you see:


Actually, it's just the "monster" part of the logo - and not trademarked. So, there's a good tipoff as well.

The ad is for a money manager assistant - sounds important! You can work from home - score! And make $2,000/month.

Now - this job does not sound good for me... only because I like my job, and it doesn't force me to move to say, England, Canada, or Pittsburgh... And also, I have some decent job security. But you'd have to believe for the 9.5+% of Americans that do not have a job - this sounds spectacular! Work from home, make some money! Awesome.

But wait.

There's more:

The actual position is a Money Transfer Assistant.

Wtf is that?

This remote position itself covers a broad range of directions an individual would have to perform. It's a part time position, which let's you perform your duties directly from your home location. In the nearest future, we're planning to achieve the expansion of our company throughout the United States of America and United Kingdom, providing local offices and departments in the vast areas, where logistic and insurance services are definitely in demand. Until then, we're trying to fill in our personnel with new individuals, which will increase the efficiency of the services we're catering. If you wish to apply or have any questions regarding the position, feel free to contact me back either via e-mail. Hope to hear from you soon.

Uhhh... what? There's no mention of the name of said company. But let's read more...

1) This is part time work at home position and can easily combine this vacancy with any other work.

2) The fixed salary is 2000 USD a month + 5% instantly from each payment processed by you.

3) You will receive payments (Direct Bank Deposits and wire transfers) from client within United States and send it by instant payment sistem such as Western Union. You will receive 5% of processed amount.

4) You do not spend your own money and there are no startup fees. All charges for withdrawal or transferring the money will be deducted from the payment.

5) To start work with us you must only have basic checking account at any bank. Your financial information will never be disclosed to third parties.

6) You can work 2-3 hours per day.

7) This is not insurance sales position and you don't need to sell insurance, this is Money Transfer Assistant vacancy.

8) Your education and status don't matter.

9) We do not ask any personal information and we run business according to laws of the United States of America.

Cool, I don't spend my own money - I only have to work a couple hours a day? Not bad. Education and status don't matter?? You never hear that in DC! Oh, and plus? I don't have to SELL the insurance! Awesome. Let's read the details of the job:

1) An ACH or Wire transfer will be made to your bank account from our client. I'll let you know it's exact transfer amount and date.

2) You should receive the transfer and send me the confirmation that you've received it. Then you'll have to cash out this transfer at your bank.

3) Then you'll have to sent the money you took from you bank account via Western Union. I'll let you know all the necessary information on this transfer(the name of person who will receive the money and destination city/country).

4) Then you should send an email to me to confirm the Western Union transfer is sent. This email should include sender's name, name of the city the transfer has been sent from, exact Western Union transfer amount, and Western Union MTCN (it's essential for receiving the money).

5) We communicate with our agents mainly by e-mail, but we will also communicate by phone (if your e-mail is not available). It is your responsibility to check your e-mail daily and inform us about any change in your contact information. Supporting communication is your top-priority obligation.

6) The fixed monthly salary which is 2000 usd will be sent to you by direct deposit after 30 day period from first transfer.

Wait a minute... this sounds eerily similar to the process that Nigerian prince wanted me to use to get his inheritance to the United States. Hang on! It also sounds like the way that I won that lottery in England! I lost thousands because of that!

Long story short and an FYI -

I know it seems obvious now - but this isn't a real job. Don't apply. And don't do this:

If you want to apply please send all your questions and contact information at kotshonn@gmail.com .
We're looking forward to our further communication.



Just a warning for my readers out there.
