I have gotten several email abt an internet business opportunity.?

That includes receiving money from customers that have purchased products from this company. The money i receive i would take a percentage and forward the rest to this company. The money will be in the form of wire transfers, checks or money orders. This companies are not in the United States. And some of these companies ask that i use my bank account or at least have a bank account. Is this legal. Has anyone tried this out.

I've got someone trying to scam me right now. Said my uncle died in Oct 2005, and left me over $13 million. All I have to do is send my bank info, and they money will be transferred to me. He's been reported to his ISP.
Reply:That's SCAM, if you get into it you will lose your money and might end up in jail after they steal your identity.





NO ONE send money to be forwarded. Wake up. All the want is your money and personal info so they can keep the scam going on.





And yes is illegal and yes some morons have tried it only to find out their accounts were emptied and that some one is using their personal information to steal their identity and commit more crimes and buy stuff on the victims' names.





They are going to write you about how everyone is getting rich on their "business opportunity", and they'll show you fake "success stories" but is all lies; they steal from people and once you ask for your money they disappear.





Never trust junk mail. Is all about scams.
Reply:Sounds like money laundering to me. It's highly illegal and could see you spend many years in jail
Reply:It's a scam....delete the email(s) and do not reply.
Reply:WOAH! watch out! DO NOT EVER give out your bank account information! I believe this is called a "Nigerian" scam among other things, but don't ever, ever, EVER give out your bank account number!





The same thing is happening to me right now because I'm posting ads on craigslist.org (free classifieds) looking for new housing, so I get all these spam emails saying that someone will let me live in a nice house if I help them by "receiving payments from outside this country.
Reply:DO NOT DO IT!!!!! i have been watching dateline and they show how these scamers use the net and this sounds like one of them. DO NOT GIVE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT INFO OUT TO ANYONE!!! unless you have sought the well known company out yourself like eBay target etc. people who contact you for that info are usually crooks. money orders can be scams... i have a store on eBay and i will not accept them as they can be counterfeit. the wire transfer is to pull you in and get you to give your info they may even deposit money at first to gain your trust,then wham its gone!!! report them to the authorities!
