I applied for a job as an Proofreader/Editor on craigslist.org, and this company wrote me back: EuroJuris. They asked for my checking account information after they emailed me, and I asked if they use PayPal and they said no (that should have been my first warning). I filled out paperwork (which I have) to be hired (like an application) and worked the end of March and the beginning of April just to get my first paycheck. It was due this week, and with all the emails of fixing international trade contracts, I was expecting $500 this week. (Just turned in my last set of fixed contracts Monday, April 20, 2015).

A lady (not sure if it was Ms. Bruckes) called me from a 315-215-0284 number that she wants to send me a check for $2000 and for me to cash it and take out my portion, $375, and send them $1625. I told her that actually they owe me $500 because I sent in the last set of contracts, and she insisted about sending them the money. I knew this was a scam and was made at myself because I was counting on that money. I asked her why aren't they wiring me the money like stated in the email through Chase Bank Quick Pay (since I have a Chase checking account). She fumbled over her words, and just said we'll give you instructions. I told her I don't feel comfortable doing that, and to please wire me the money. She said okay and hung up.

I think that there are two law firms that may be connected to this, because the first number that called me was a NY number (315). The second number might have been them: 661-748-0240

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds

Eurjoris Scam

AUTHOR: Jackie Reddy - (United Kingdom)

POSTED: Thursday, May 14, 2015

Like others here, I too applied for the EuroJuris proofreading role back in late March.  I flat out refused to give them any bank details and asked for a paper check.  It may be old fashioned, but it's safe.

I received 6 or 7 editing assignments back to back, totalling around $500.  All e-mail communications in very broken English and they completely refused to give me their name, contact details, etc. 'Mellisa Bruckes' was given as the name of the initial contact, but after that, there was no e-mail signature to go off of. I also did a Google/Street Map search of the supposed office address in Odessa (yes, really) and it didn't look quite right to me.  The last communication I had from them was 17 April.  I sent them another e-mail today as a chaser, but I don't expect to hear anything back. 

I suspected from the get go it was possibly a scam, but obviously like everyone else, was hoping for the best.  The fact that they made some bumpf up about being unable to transfer funds by PayPal sounded fishy to me and I was repeatedly urged to give my bank details, which I politely but very firmly refused to do.  Just as they pushed me for account details, I was pushy back about getting their contact details. 

I also told them on 17 April that until their payment had been received and cleared, I would hold off doing more work for them. Obviously, this is a complete write-off.  Yes, I haven't been paid, but no - at least they haven't gotten any cash from me.  I guess the message is live and learn and trust your gut.
