Hey

Ben says
did you post on techguide?

Murdoc says
hi

Murdoc says
Yes I did

Ben says
What is this program you're talking about?

Murdoc says
Want to try it?

Ben says
depends.... I need to know what it's about

Murdoc says
First of all, I need to know how old are you

Ben says
17

Ben says
18 soon

Murdoc says
good

Ben says
ok

Murdoc says
Did you use E-Gold or other payment systems before?

Ben says
have

Ben says
but not currently

Murdoc says
ok

Murdoc says
Are you able to do it for work?

Ben says
?

Ben says
I understand how to use them... if thats what you mean

Murdoc says
not exactly

Murdoc says
But this too

Murdoc says
Are you able to use NETeller or FirePay?

Ben says
never used them

Murdoc says
You can try

Ben says
i dont have a credit card... does that matter?

Murdoc says
I think no

Ben says
Hey dude.... can you just explain what this is about? Because I may not be able to do it. So I don't want to waste your time

Murdoc says
Well, for this job you will need NETeller account, for example...

Murdoc says
I have some funds which can be sent to NETeller, but I can't use them directly, and I am not able to transfer them to E-gold or other system self. So, if you could help me with it, I can give you 40-50% from transferred amount.

Murdoc says
For first time it could be about $200 per week, and after week or two, when we will trust each other more, it could $600 or more per week.

Ben says
So I transfer funds for you?

Murdoc says
Yes, for example, I deposit to your NETeller $200, $100 - you send me, and other you keep as your salary, that's all!

Ben says
Why? I dont get why you would send me $200, then i send back $100?

Ben says
OH wait...

Ben says
you mean you have to go through neteller?

Ben says
to get it to your other account?

Murdoc says
yes

Murdoc says
Because I am not able to use NETeller self right now

Ben says
how come

Murdoc says
But you should learn first, if you are able to use it self

Ben says
ok

Ben says
should I go ahead and make an account?

Murdoc says
Yes, go to www.netteller.com and lear it for now

Ben says
ok

Murdoc says
neteller.com

Ben says
alright

Ben says
im making account right now

Murdoc says
one "t"

Murdoc says
and, if I will be offline, please inform me to email==altjob@gawab.comaltjob@gawab.com=altjob@gawab.comaltjob@gawab.com/email

Ben says

Ben says

Ben says

Murdoc says

Ben says

Ben says

Murdoc says

Ben says

Murdoc says
no

Ben says
o

Murdoc says
Any problem there?

Ben says
no

Ben says
wait.... i still am confused

Ben says
why would you pay me so much to transfer funds

Murdoc says
I am not angree

Murdoc says
I know it's strange, but I spend only $500 to earn amount which I have no, so I can share it without thinking about each 100$

Murdoc says
Except for that I need real partner, but not person who will do it once!
Murdoc says
Because I know that I will earn more, and I will need partner to do help me with it!

Ben says
what exactly are you doing to earn it

Ben says
i dont want to be involved in something illegal

Murdoc says
Don't worry

Murdoc says
I am just playing poker, and I am lucky in that

Ben says
oh ok

Murdoc says
that's why I can share even half

Ben says
ok

Ben says

shock

Umm... dude? Are you seriously falling for this? I thought you were just playing this guy along, and now it sounds like he's really playing you. It's an obvious S-C-A-M, and not that uncommon either.

Please tell me you haven't actually gone any farther than this?

k screw that.. he said he made thousands with poker and told me i could have half or w/e... but what exactly was he trying to get out of it if it was a scam? What incentive would he have?

It's most likely dirty money so if he ever gets caught with whatever illegal activity he's doing, your his decoy and you will get all the blame.

yeah i dont get it either, never heard of neteller or firepay, i dont get it. its a little strange how he would give you half of $1000+ O_O

If it's too good to be true...

The idea is you send him $100 first, then he'll send you $200 later. He's just not going to send you the money back.

He will try to get a bank number he can transfer to and he will drain it.

[quoteec00012b0a="ilanbg"]The idea is you send him $100 first, then he'll send you $200 later. He's just not going to send you the money back.[/quoteec00012b0a]

I think Murdoc was actually saying he'd send $200, then benner would return $100, keeping $100 as his "salary."

This is a variation on the eBay laptop scams and other similar scams. The scammer persuades you to accept a check or some other form of payment, asking you to return a lesser sum and keep the difference for yourself as payment or a token of gratitude.

But, when the scammer's payment (usually a check) bounces, [iec00012b0a]you[/iec00012b0a] are held accountable for the money you sent him, usually because you sent it via Western Union or some other unprotected service.

I don't know much about Neteller or Firepay, but I'm sure he's trying to pull something similar.

Anyone that even considers that should be banned for life.

oh man, my friend today was tellin me this story that happened a few weeks ago.

his friend wanted a job to work, but he was really lazy, so he started to look for ways to make online (probably never passed by these freebie sites) and he got a call a few days later from someone saying that the person got his form and that he was going to give him a job, he was gonna put $3000 in his account to begin with and he would then have to travel around for him in a business thing or w/e (didnt pay attention to that part lol).. he had nothin in his account thingy so he gave the number of the account, and the guy actually deposited $3000 into his account, so he like freaked and found places to use the money, he was happy then the next day he got another phone call from the FBI, turned out it was illegal money..

hes not gonna get into any trouble probably cause he didnt do anything but hes gonna have to go through questioning, etc, bla bla bla. >_<
