Sofia Lewis; S. David Lewis barur.com; Barur Global Money Laundering Scam Posing to Hire Unsuspecting Job Seekers in the US; Also able to penetrate and take control of bank customer's checking account Stockholm , Internet

I would like to report barur.com (also posing as Barur Global). There does not seem to be a lot of fraud report about them yet so I would like to alert people about them.

Their MO appears to be to pretend to hire people (they get names from Monster.com or CareerBuilder.Com) and offer them a job as a "Prepaid Manager (PM)  or Financial Manager." Their website seems to suggest that they are multi-level company which is false. The person that is doing all the "potential hire" interaction is Sofia Lewis who claims she is based in Stockholm, Sweden. They offer a salary of $5,000 which is mostly through the 10% bonus/commission that the "Prepaid Manager or victim" will deduct from the funds that will be deposited to their account before the balance is wired (via Western Union) to a supposed "seller" overseas. All of these is of course bogus.

What they appear to have done is they have gotten access to a bank customer's checking account, they then write a check out of that account, send that check to the "Prepaid Manager"  who then deposits it to their bank account. Once the check clears, the PM is supposed to then cash the check (less 10% for their commission and less wire transfer expenses) and wire transfer via Western Union the balance to a person usually in Russia.

They are a money laundering operation and they appear to have the ability to take control of bank customers' checking account. Another name that people should be aware of is S. David Lewis presumably living in Orem UT. He appears to be the scam's US based operative.

BE ON THE LOOKOUT, BE CAREFUL. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR SCAM.

Remember these names: Sofia Lewis (sofia.lewis@barur.com; S. David Lewis; barur.com or Barur Global.
