Subject: Payment And Transfer Instructions
Hello,
How are you doing today ? I am writing you now as promised to inform you that the payment has been shipped out to you via FedEx and will be delivered to you today Wednesday the 14th of September 2011.
Instructions :
1. Once you receive the payment, I want you to have the payment cashed out at your bank immediately. Since the Money Order was purchased in your name, fill out your name, address and signature on the Money Order before going to the bank to have it cashed.
2. You are entitled to deduct 10% from the funds you received as your commission. There is a bonus of an extra 5% if you can have the funds transferred the same day you receive the payment, It will only be a sign to show that You are very efficient and capable to handle this opportunity. Once you have this first payment handled very well, the firm will be pleased to retain you and send you more payments.
In summary, 10% of the funds as your commission, but if you can have it completed the same day you receive the payment then you are entitled to an extra bonus of 5% which makes it a total of 15% as your commission if you can have the transaction completed the same day.
3. Locate a Western Union Outlet, the Companies remainder balance is to be sent via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER. The balance is to be sent to the landlord, after deducting your commission.
Landlord details are as follows:
Name: MATT HENLEY
Address: 23 manley Street
City/State: Malate, Manila
Country: Philippines
Zip Code: 1004
Once payment has been sent via western union to the Landlord, kindly get in touch with me with the following information to aid the Landlord in picking up the money;
Mtcn Number ( 10 digit) :
Sender's name and address :
Exact amount sent :
N:B - Western Union Transfer Charges are to be deducted from the companies balance and not from your own commission.
kindly please write me back immediately so I know you received and understand this email.

I feel this is at minimum a money laundering scam or the Money Gram I received is not real. I have not attempted to cash it. I have decided to report this incident in hope that it will help others. |

| I actually got the same thing and decided to respond I received a money order for 883.17$ the money gram is not real none of the security features work on it. I am taking mine to the local police for printing as well as the fed ex envelope. |
|
|
|
| ADDING TO EARLIER POST ...i also called the phone number on the fed ex envelope and it was to a bank that said they had recieved a few other calls for the person listed on the fed ex envelope and said there was no such person and that it was fraudulent . |

I received all the same correspondance as listed above (word for word). The Money Gram I received was also for $883.17. It is a counterfeit document, not negotiable at any bank (unless a teller is too clueless to realize it's a fake). I was advised by the bank manager to contact the RCMP, who then forwarded the matter to the Canadian Anti Fraud Center.
If you try to negotiaite the moneygram, the banking staff will stall you until the police arrive and you will be detained and charged with fraud. Remember, ignorance is not an excuse under law. Definitely not worth $83 "commission", which you won't even get because it's bogus. |

I also got the exact same email - I also got a couple of calls from this Marc Caston. He uses 2 different phone #'s, 415-852-9765 & 516-323-5480. Both #'s have area codes across the country from each other.
I have been trying to find this Marc Caston by name & nothing comes up, neither does Easy Rentals Inc.
I checked the Better Business Bureau & nothing there either.
BTW has anyone officially reported this to the FBI? |

|
|
There is also another name being used by easy rentals and it is Shawn Spencer the exact same e-mail.
I got burned for $2, 530.00 |
|
|
|
| I got one from Arthur Mcmillan Trust Realty Services. My check was for 4995. |
