As reported here, most all of us are familiar with various Nigerian financial scams and know not to even give them the time of day. But this scam was different. It claimed to offer a chance to make easy money working at home as an accounts receivable agent for Arcadia-based Ashley Furniture, the largest furniture maker and retailer in the country. All the scammer wanted was for an unsuspecting victim to accept delivery by United Parcel Service of a cashier?s check or money order. Then the victim would deposit the Ashley Furniture customer?s payment in his/her account and send a check of their own to the Ashley payment center, less 10 percent as payment for their services. |
