the Scam 31/Mar/2016 writing / the scam It was the small incident that I faced to in my first month of Australia. I was looking for a job through several website. After a while, I couldn't see which job I was applying, because I spread my resume to too many jobs. After not too long, I got a job and also I got some reply. That was one of those reply I received via e-mail. It was from an insurance corporation that has their root on Holland. It was a huge firm even I could find in google very easily. As well as it's fame in itself, the most fascinating thing about that job offer was the wage they suggested me. The position was 'financial manage', it was enough to blew me up with hopeful expectation and imagination. I filled in the forms they sent me through e-mail, and sent them with my passport copy. It didn't seem a fake at all. Even on the forms, it has a detail like not only their official mark but an signature that looked like from someone in charge. Anyway, according to the mail, I was supposed to work at home, because their new branch here was under way and was going to be open in a month. Counting how much I'd get paid, I was full of happiness. Perhaps, I could have just wished it were true, though. Eventually, they contacted me through... Skype.(it's already weird enough..) And he said that my first assignment would be distributing some labor's salary. In fact, I didn't care what is that reason, their company was stuck in terms of financial stuff in Australia, which meant they were going to use "financial manager" I was as. He told me they would use my personal account as just transferring money. It sounded really weird at all. Although I was praying it isn't such a scam, the more I thought of it and saw back, the more clear it wouldn't be real. I couldn't look for any consequences when I've tried searching his name in it's official website. And I couldn't call back the number they use, 'cause it was no-number calling. I've given a call to the general number of the company, and then It was ended up the scam. How foolish I was...
