> [@Larry2012\_w](#): > > At first, I thought about the company Inctor they scam. Did not find anything bad about them, except for this site. There are quite old records and anything specific I never saw him. Inctor registered in the UK. My friend lives in the UK. She went to the organization. They exist and are actually working. Now I have no doubt about them. I will go to work to get it. Do not listen to the envious and liars.šŸ˜› I, too, had my doubts, but you have convinced me. I also want to go to work to get it. The liars and haters want it, but I am the one to get it. They will be envious because I have it and they will have none of it. ---

ā€¦ is the SDMB the #1 deterrent of this scam? So much so that weā€™ve kept them from gettingā€¦ 2 clients that they took active measures on the 3rd? Thatā€™s kind of funny. ---

These People operate a Money Mule Scamā€¦They appear to be operating out of a virtual office using 0203 numbers which are likely to be Skype Numbers which means they can be anywhere in the world. They hook with promises of a monthly salary but in effect they use your Bank Account to deposit stolen monies which you are then required to send to some third party in the Ukraine via Western Union. You then keep 6% commissionā€¦The monies they pay into your a/c are stolen from a third party (victim) and diverted to your a/cā€¦Be warned this is CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. The stolen funds will be traced to your Bank account and you will be in a heap of trouble. These criminals look to recruit loads of mules knowing that they will use one mule at a time then you will never hear from them againā€¦THIS IS MONEY LAUNDERING ON AN INTERNATIONAL SCALE!..Further if you send them all your details inc copies of drivers licences and or your Passport this information can then be used for Identity Theft!. THE EASTERN EUROPEANS ESPECIALLY FROM THE UKRAINE AND ROMANIA ARE MASTERS AT THIS TYPE OF FRAUDā€¦\*\*IF YOU DONā€™T WANT TO END UP WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD OR GET BLACK LISTED BY YOUR BANK THEN WALK AWAY! ---

They have no online presence at all. There is an [inctor.com](http://inctor.com) but it is a totally different company based out of the UK. However, Inctor is apparently a common misspelling of injector so Google is not being my friend. I even tried Bing but it brings back similar results. > > There are a few big red flags in the job postings. First, they are too far apart for a company Google has never heard of. Apparently theyā€™re hiring in Texas, NY and British Columbia. Second, they use a Hotmail address for the contact. Third, they are offering way, way too much money for the job specified. They are supposedly offering $5000 per month for a job as a ā€œcustomer assistantā€. There is no way this kind of entry level job pays 60K a year. > > There is a phone number attached to the ad but I dare not call it. Also itā€™s long distance. Googling the address provided brings me to 100 80th St, NY, NY which is a large apartment building. Unfortunately Google Maps neglected to swing into the lobby so I canā€™t tell if this address is legit. > > Iā€™d like to get back to my employment counselor and let her know if this does indeed prove to be a scam before anyone else gets caught up in it. ---

Dear **marcus2013** , your explanation is very helpful, but did you need to post it three times? ---
