What do you all think about this? Legit or not?

[katchuka]

damn, internet is a great place for different types of scamers

If it is legit, why not pay for a postal box at a ups or regular post office? It is so much cheaper, the cost is somewhere around $15 a month. Unless they are sending illegal things... hmm... I say it is not legit.

Yeah, one of my friends recently got the exact same email and had me take a look. Total crap to think that a company needs to hire somebody to cash a check for them and send the rest! I'm shocked people even try to pull these stupid scams... the moral would be: if it's too good to be true, it is!
It's laughable and sad. Don't open emails from people you don't know and for sure never ever send money.

I got caught in this scheme 5 years ago when I first started working from home because I wanted to make money so bad that I took up the offer and cashed the first check but thank goodness it was a small one. Then came a 2nd check that was alot bigger and my DH seen it and he blew up because he is a fireman so he took up the dept and ask the police about it. They investigated and said it was a scam to where they start you out with small checks and then increase to the big ones that are not valid so that they can get you in a big way. I tried to contact them to let them know I was not going to cash and do the job and of course no way to contact.

I felt so stupid that I fell for something so dumb because I should have known that anything too good to be true is not legit I just think I was desperate.

I have no idea if this company is legit or not, but mail forwarding can be legit. The way I understand it from their website is that it is beneficial for corporations to register in Luxembourg because it is tax free, and then get their correspondence forwarded to them in the US. One thing from their website stuck out to me - it says that they receive your mail IN LUXEMBOURG and forward it to the US or wherever...I'm not sure where we would fall into that. Also the website looks so much like a generic template but that could just be my opinion ;-P

I would think that they would want some kind of a background check on the people who would be receiving the mail, since it is someone's important correspondence. They seem a little too eager to get started, judging from the e-mail above.

good grief these people are getting more and more creative. the only kind of jobs where i think any kind of email forwarding would be legit are for celebrities and people who don't want their true address known (like PSO's) I know some people who actually do this through others so "fans" cannot find them but it's really, really hard to find. otherwise...eeek stay clear.

petrona,

What you've quoted is from a site which shows you how to use chain letters for profit. Chain letters for profit are illegal.

You're quoting the crooks, the very scam artists that are perpetrating this fraud.


And that's what this is folks - a fraud.

Legitimate mail forwarding is done by the post office or the likes of companies like Mail Boxes, Etc.

There is no reason for a person to forward mail through a private residence except for illegal purposes.

Everybody else:

Please for your own safety don't engage them! You don't know how dangerous they are!

Anything to do with mail or money, I would run from.

OK. I officially think this is a scam now. Check this out.

Luxembourg address format seems mostly similar to France's
format, except that:
<ul>[*]The postal code is a four-digit number</font></font>. [*]Of course, the letter that you can optionally write before the postal code
is L- for Luxembourg.
for example,
L-1316.</font>[/list]A possible source of confusion is that Luxembourg is
the name of both the country and its capital city. M. Andrée TROMMER [(M. = Monsieur) recipient name]</font>
BP 5019 [P.O. Box + number]</font>
L-1050 Luxembourg [(optional country code L-) + postal code + city/locality]</font></font>
LUXEMBOURG [country name</font>]</font>

I'm staying far away from this one!

[workingmamma2]

I agree I would run becuase there is so much out there that is legit that messing with something questionable is just not worth it!
