Hey everyone
Just wonderful, I thought I had a good thing going on but hey, good things just don't happen right?
I found this website - http://www.ee-marketing.com - (PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING ON IT, READ THIS POST FIRST) - and I thought that it was legit, it seemed pretty good as they offered all kinds of methods of payment like bank transfers, paypal, etc. So, I signed up to work for them. What was supposed to happen was they would get a customer from the same country as me (New Zealand) who would order a shipment of goods (they offered guaranteed discounts of up to 25%, which doesn't seem unrealistic). Then, to make things easier for the customer, the customer would transfer the money into my bank account as mine is, of course, a New Zealand bank account aswell and then I would transfer it to my "employer" via Western Union, keeping 10% for myself for my troubles (we would go halves in the WU fees). Seemed all good, 2 days ago $1956 turned up in my bank account as I was told it would, so I deducted my 10% and transfered their 90%. All was well, my "employer" came on MSN Messenger (that was our main form of communication, aside from e-mail) to talk to me about it and inform me of another transfer that was going in overnight - this one was $2680. So the next day I checked and it was there, I went and did what I was supposed to again and went home. About 2 hours later I get a phone call from the BNZ (Bank of New Zealand) Fraud Unit basically blaming me and saying I was dealing with "a mafia" (I won't say which one just in case the Fraud Unit was wrong, I don't particularly want them coming after me). Of course I had no idea of this, but I was to go to Western Union and try to reverse the damages. I could only reverse the $2680 from today (actually, I only managed to get $2355 back after the WU fees and the 10% that I had already, unfortunately, spent) so I put that back into the BNZ account and straight away the whole $2680 was whipped out and now I'm in the negatives and have to find the money *sigh*. Oh well, I'm not here to find a way to get my money back as I know it's not going to happen - but I want to make sure no one else falls for this kind of thing. I looked on this website for anything that related to a scam such as this but couldn't come up with anything so here it is.
Now, the way I found out about ee-marketing.com was through EFNet on mIRC, someone private messaged me and said about the website, so I went there. Also, here are the details of the people -
The main person I was talking to - MSN, weisersbiz@hotmail.com (supposedly Martin Weiser from Estonia). And his e-mail eemarket@ee-marketing.com
The person I was transfering money to - Anton Romanov, Moscow, Russia.
I do hope this helps save someone from the trouble I have been in over this, please also feel free to ask, via this thread, for any more info you would like on this matter that I may have missed out. And hey, I will also definately co-operate in any way of perhaps catching these criminals.
