The scam threatens Utahns bank accounts and their personal information. According to officials with the Utah Division of Consumer Protection, the fraud starts with a job offer and ends with many Utahns wiring money to Mexico; only to discover they have been duped out of hundreds even thousands of dollars. "This scam starts by answering an ad for a job found in the classified section of the newspaper," says Francine Giani, Director of the Utah Division of Consumer Protection. "Instead of getting a job with good pay and great benefits, people discover they have sent money to Mexico, never to see it again. And, even more frightening, they have provided crooks with their social security number, driver license and bank account information." Divulging that information to scam artists, Giani says, could hurt consumers for years. According to the Division, the scam begins when a soon to be victim answers a classified ad for a courier position. The ad promises good pay, 401 K and health benefits, paid vacation and mileage. In answering the ad, the victim is directed to an Internet website to fill out an employment Included on the application. is a application request for driver license information, supposedly for a "background check" and all bank account information under the guise that paychecks are direct deposited. Investigators familiar with the scam say that information gathered for the phony job application is used to forge checks, which are then deposited in the soon to be victims bank account. The victims are then notified that a deposit has been mistakenly made in their account and it is requested that they immediately wire those funds back to the company. But, they are told because of the trouble they are going through they can keep a portion of the money. Hoping to impress a potential employer, the victims wire the funds as directed, usually to Mexico. A few days later they receive a notification from their bank that the original deposit has been voided because it was made with a forged check. The money that was wired to Mexico is long gone and cant be recovered. The victim will most likely also discover that his or her bank account information has been used on phony checks that have been deposited elsewhere. well send you a check Personals SMALL Businesses place your classified ad not 1, not 2, but 50 newspapers throughout Utah.
