Trust your instinctsOn a similar point. Have you heard of Global LT. They are an American based English language training company. They got my details from a Tutoring Agency, gave me a phone interview and set things rolling with the prospect of students. No money has been asked for, I can use Paypal for payments to me but, they want a copy of my passport. They have my CV. No references have been mentioned. I've spoken to their English contact in Brighton and she emails me quickly in response to questions. They have an extensive website, I've not found anything untoward in my research so far but something doesn't fit right. Anyone got any thoughts please?0 -
with any luck your account will be sorted and you get to keep the money they have deposited!NightAngel wrote: »Sadly I have fallen Today for the trap and after they sent me large amounts of money and asked me to send it to another person my bank account got frozen and now the issue is being looked in to...now i have researched them and i have found out that they launder money, so i have reported this to the police and going tomorrow morning to see if i can get my bank account fixed, so far there is £2450 from them in my account, they have blocked my number but they still ring if you call them from number they don't recognize for records the number is 020 8123 3524 so beware and don't be a !!!!!! like me..0 -
well they kinda deposited the money and as soon as i said to them the bank is trying to find out the source of the money they said they will check the problem and BOOM...no more answer.. Obviously "Laura" is just an imaginary person and they go under many identities...Also the bank is aware that i don't know where the money is from...I am only worried that they might put close my account or even worse...lable me as i have helped in this kind of crime...0
