Fred Olsen of Bergman, Toyo & Dean Alice Maxwell, Mark Markiss, James David Osborne, Mark Joe Craigslist Advertised Scam Jobs; Russian Mafia Scam; Payroll Fraud Scheme; Money Wire Scam; Western Union Scam; Money Gram Scam Internet

[WARNING:  BEWARE TO ALL WHO ANSWER CRAIGSLIST ADVERTISEMENTS  IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A JOB.  BASED UPON MY OWN EXPERIENCES OF BEING AN INNOCENT PARTY VICTIM TO SCAMS ADVERTISED ON CRAIGSLIST I HAVE DISCOVERED A RUSSIAN MAFIA FRAUD SCHEME THAT APPEARS TO USE NATIVE FILIPINOS AS FRONT MEN.  THESE FILIPINO MEN USING CAUCASIAN SOUNDING NAMES IN ORDER TO SCAM WOULD–BE JOB SEEKERS AND USE THEM IN THEIR FRAUDULENT SCHEME FIRST ADVERTISE THEMSELVES ON CRAIGSLIST FOR PART-TIME WORKERS .  THE FILIPINO FRONT MEN THEREAFTER BOTH TELEPHONE AND EMAIL INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO.]       

THE FRAUDULENT SCHEME APPEARS TO BE COMPOSED OF FOUR DISTINCT PARTS:
1)    THE FIRST PART INVOLVES HAVING AN INNOCENT PARTY HONESTLY SEEKING LEGAL EMPLOYMENT TO FOLLOW A SET OF SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO OBTAIN SOME COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND PRINTER IN ORDER TO PRINT FAKE PAYROLL CHECKS THAT ARE THEN SENT OUT TO VARIOUS OTHER  INNOCENT PARTY MEMBERS WHO ARE ALSO HONESTLY SEEKING LEGAL EMPLOYMENT. 

2)    THE SECOND PART INVOLVES HAVING ANOTHER INNOCENT PARTY RECEIVE THE FAKE PAYROLL CHECKS VIA UPS COURIER.  ONCE RECEIVED THE FRONT MEN MAKES A SERIES OF PHONE CALLS TO THE INNOCENT PARTY RECEIVING THE CHECK(S) AND INSTRUCTS HIM/HER TO CHECK THEIR EMAIL IMMEDIATELY FOR SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THE RECEIVED CHECK.  THE EMAIL INSTRUCTIONS WOULD DIRECT THE INNOCENT PARTY TO IMMEDIATELY DEPOSIT THE CHECK(S) AT THEIR OWN BANK FOR A QUICK 24-HOUR CASH TURNAROUND.   I SAY THAT THE FRONT MEN APPEAR TO BE FILIPINO, SINCE THEIR NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS MANIFEST A DISTINCTLY NATIVE FILIPINO ACCENT (I.E. MR. MARK MARKISS OF PARTS TWO AND THREE; & FRED OLSEN OF PART FOUR).

3)    THE THIRD PART INVOLVES WHETHER OR NOT THE CHECKS SUCCESSFULLY CLEAR.  IF CLEARED THE DUPED INNOCENT PARTY IS INSTRUCTED TO SEND THE CASH TO ANOTHER PERHAPS INNOCENT PARTY ELSEWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES VIA WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM.  IN MY CASE, THE CHECK THAT WAS SENT BY A “MR. OR MISS. COR” FROM THE STATE OF ILLINOIS VIA UPS COURIER AND WHICH APEARED TO BE A LEGITIMATE & PROFESSIONAL LOOKING CORPORATE CHECK FROM A CALIFORNIA BANK WAS DEEMED TO BE A FAKE WORTHLESS CHECK.  THE MONEY ITSELF MAY COME FROM SUCH CHECKS OR MAY INDEED COME FROM ANOTHER SOURCE THROUGH OUTRIGHT THEFT.  NONETHELESS, ANY HINT OF A RUSSIAN CONNECTION DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY REVEAL ITSELF UNTIL THE FOURTH PART IS ACHIEVED.

4)    THE FOURTH PART INVOLVES THE LAST LEG OF THE FILIPINO-RUSSIAN MAFIA FINANCIAL FRAUD SCHEME, WHICH IS THE PICKING UP OF THE MONEY LAUNDERED CASH AT A WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM BRANCH OFFICE BY YET ANOTHER INNOCENT PARTY AND THEN HAVING THAT DUPED PERSON USE WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM AGAIN IN ORDER TO REDIRECT IT TO A RUSSIAN MAFIA RECIPIENT LOCATED IN EITHER RUSSIA, UKRAINE, OR MOLDOVIA.    SUCH A FOUR PART SCHEME INVOLVES QUITE A FEW DUPED, BUT INNOCENT PARTY MEMBERS WHO DO NOT KNOW EACH OTHER AT ALL.  THIS FRAUDULENT SCHEME APPEARS TO BE INTENTIONAL IN ORDER TO BREAK THE PAPER TRAIL  LEADING TO THE RUSSIAN MAFIA.  MY OWN UNWITTING INVOLVEMENT STARTED WITH PART FOUR, THEN PART TWO, BUT NOT PART THREE SINCE THE CHECK DIDN’T CLEAR.  AND ALTHOUGH I WAS RECENTLY EMAILED BY A SO-CALLED JAMES DAVID OSBORNE TO UNDERTAKE PART ONE OF THE FRAUD SCHEME I DECIDED NOT TO DO IT, ESPECIALLY AFTER I FOUND OUT THAT THIS JAMES DAVID OSBORNE WHO CLAIMED ON HIS EMAILS TO BE A CERTIFIED PAYROLL SPECIALIST DID NOT EVEN EXIST ON THE NATIONAL REGISTRY OF CERTIFIED PAYROLL SPECIALISTS TO BEGIN WITH.  FOR THE FOREGOING REASONS IT IS ALWAYS PRUDENT TO CHECK UP ON THESE SHADY CHARACTERS AND AVOID THE PITFALLS OF BEING THE UNWITTING PARTICIPANT OF A FRAUDULENT SCHEME.

If someone is asking you to buy something from him/her to become employed by them, then in all likelihood it is a scam.

Dear NACPB,  

I wish to enquire about a person by the name of James David Osborne who advertised himself on Craigslist as an employer.  I responded to his Part-time job position and he claimed to hire me.  Although he claims to be a Certified Payroll Specialist, I found no evidence that he is one.  His email to me can be found below.  James David Osborne wanted me to buy some printers and software to help him out with payroll, but I did not participate yet due to several uncertainties about him.  I am wary about him.  Is he asking me to produce payroll checks for some SCAM?????  If he is can you do something about this man?   

Tong Park,
Concerned Citizen

Western Union fees you will pay from $4,900 (not from yourcommission). Send 'Money In Minutes' transfer.  Use 2 differentWestern Union agents (it is very important). You don't need to sendmore than $3,000 from each WU office. Your work must be fast andcorrect. You must carefully check each symbol because if you willmake a  mistake in the sum of transaction, details of the sender orreceiver it will lead to the rejection of the given transaction.

To avoid any delays :WU do not perform business transactions - theyperform "face-to-face" transferring.We strongly recommend to mention 'assistance tofriends' in the 'Transfer Purpose' field, as WesternUnion general rules forbid to support businesstransfers and therefore your transfer can be delayed.

Please confirm the receiving of this  information assoon as possible. Please fill in this form with the information you`ll get from WU branch
