I think I am working for some company out of Moscow Russia, So far all they are having me do is edit e-mail letters, So far they have not paid me for it and I have not revealed any personal info other my e-mail address and name.Some of the letters I edit contain alot of info about usa people accepting checks and forwarding the money to the what they call them selves the travel service.They say they are 300 employees strong with 10,000 customers and that there address is Leninskiy Street,220/b, Moscow Russia, phone +74955557111.It all sounds very real but they say Russia can not accept money thru the internet but I reaearched it and found many ways to snd and receive money online thru the internet.I am just curious if this company is real or not.This rambler.ru is where they say they get alot of customers from. This e-mail is what is being used for all my contacts between them. thibaslisub1968@yahoo.com

What should I tell them? How I was stupid enough to give out my info and unknowingly helped these people steal from innocent hardworking individuals like myself.

OMG! I have been working for this company now for an entire month I did the text editing and i have done four transfers so for. I can’t believe this I am in so much trouble. I have been e-mailing Global Wedding Agency for the past two weeks about my salary and have gotten no response. But i have done four transfers for the already and today i discovered your post on this business, I wish i found this the first time i searched this company. I can not afford to pay back this money. I saw this has a blessing in disgust, I lost my job back in August and i am single mother I needed this money.

OMG! I responded to this exact ad for text editing position. I completed 2 assignments from them and “supposedly” earned $85 in an account they have for me. They said it’s a trial basis for a month. I wasn’t asked to open an account or pay anything for this (so far). I am disappointed because this just proves if it sounds too good to be true then it must be…

I think the job agencies that send these alerts to those of us who have our resumes uploaded on their site should screen these so called companies a little better. It’s going to make these job sites look just as bad as those so called companies who are scamming innocent hardworking folks that just want to make an honest living and provide for their families. I am VERY upset about this!
