Jeanius Delivery Company (Update: This is a scam)

Hello!

The Jeanius Delivery Company is promptly looking for new articles receiving clerks. For more than 10 years our company is a leading one at the logistics and delivering market. Because of expansion of our fields we promptly need employees to be articles receiving clerks.

The main of a receiving clerk is receiving, storage, sorting of articles of different categories and correspondence, as well as to send them next to our customers. The payment is piece-rate. On average a receiving clerk earns a week about $US 100 - 500. The price for receiving of one parcel be a receiving clerk is on average at our company about $US 20 -30, according to its weight, size, good’s price as well as some other factors.

Mein requirements to the competitors:
- the USA, EU- citizenship;
- constant Internet access;
- a home telephone to receive the operators’ calls;
- email to receive orders through the electronic mail.

With any new employee we conclude a labour contract.

Our main office is in Helsinki, Finland.

If the number of the processed parcels exceeds 30 pcs, the employee will get an award fee. Our constant employees have a possibility to use a social package, different bonuses by our partners.

For Germany- and the UK-inhabitants we have special terms for employing. For the inhabitants of these counties we provide increased award fees as well as some other privileges.

For more details you may contact the managers of our company via our website:

Has anyone tried this? I've mailed them for more information but they are not answering.

I just sent them a e-mail and will post it if i hear anything, its a curious ad, huh? They also had some ads posted elsewhere on the net, i.e. best jobs and so forth.

I am 100% sure it's a scam. I'm pretty familiar with Finland I can tell you:

• The standard of English would be higher than that shown in the advert.
• The quality of the Website would be much higher than that shown.
• The people in the picture are not Finnish. They look more Eastern European.
• The name "Jeanius" would sound strange when said how I imagine they want it to be said with a "G"- there's not really a "G"sound in Finnish- just imported words have the letter... and "J" is pronounced like a soft "Y".
• They are not in the Finnish phone book
• The job is too good to be true from a jobseekers point of view.
• If you were setting up a business website you would make it appeal to potential customers not potential employees
• There is no offical company registration data- company number, VAT No etc

Its just one of those money receiving scams: http://www.data-wales.co.uk/ni_fake_jobs.htm

i got back a e-mail from Jeanius, and they said no money was required to start, but the points made in the previous post are very valid. It smells of a scam big time.

Also...

Allegedly 10 years in the business but website only registered in May of this year.

The website is registered as being out of Zürich.

The phone number they provide on the website, +358 9 42022299, is actually the fax number of the Confederation of Finnish Industries.

Then Toytowners I believe your work is done. Good that so many of you made the effort to identify all these points. You probably saved many people from losing cash. Now give yourselves a jolly big pat on the back for a job well done. ;-)

Business plan? Why the hell would someone order something, pay for it and have it shipped to a middleman to then ship to you? I don't get it.

Just in case anyone is curious i am following this up, mostly since i have nothing better to do.

This is definitely a scam. I saw them listed on ripoffreport.com under the heading "credit card fraud, identity theft, confidence trick".

I would remove this advert, but I think it serves better here as a warning. The page is now highly placed in Google, so hopefully others will see it too.

The company is repeatedly using TT. Their multiple accounts have been blocked. They continue, however, to email anyone who leaves their address on the forum. There's nothing that can be done to prevent that.

Hi,

I've been foolish enough to deal with these people...I was unemployed and pretty desperate for some sort of income, and was completely oblivious to all the signs.

My question is, does anyone know which authorities I should contact about this?

Cheers

Purpleturle, sorry to hear you've been scammed. However do a public service and tell us what happened.

I've always wondered how these schemes work. How they scam money off you if you're not required to invest anything.

Regarding who to contact, I'd say the authorities in the country where they're based, not where you're based.

Essentially, you get "hired" (you sign a contract and everything) to receive packages, which you then re-deliver to various addresses, some outside the country.

The items you receive I can now only assume are stolen goods, probably purchased through credit card fraud. My concern now, is that I will be held liable for identity theft or handling of stolen goods.

After doing a bit of reading, it seems the FBI is more than willing to work with victims such as myself in similar cases in order to track down the fraudsters, but I'm not sure how that applies over here in Germany.

I just can't believe how stupid I've been to be duped into this...

Purple Turtle. Were the goods you held "stolen", or it this an assumption. Did you lose money as a result of your involvement with the company?

I can only assume they were stolen yes (but very high chance), and I've not lost any money myself by doing this.

So if you have not lost any money then where is the scam? Yes, if you think the items are stolen then that's a fairly serious issue, but what makes you think that?

Don't get me wrong, I thought the whole thing was idiotic to begin with but I'm just curious as to what makes you think the items are stolen. I mean, you signed up in the first place so your judgement is obviously not the Mae West.

Keydeck, it's business, someone has to make money. If someone gives you a package tells you to deliver it to a certain address... wouldn't you be suspicious? It could have been anything, stolen goods, cp, drugs... who knows.

I think I covered that with my statement of "I thought the whole thing was idiotic to begin with " and the fact that back in June I gave a few bits of easily obtained information which pointed to it clearly being a scam or dodgy setup of some kind. I'm just curious as to what the individual involved was thinking.

Well, since the "company" is definitely fake and the whole thing a scam, why wouldn't I think the goods aren't stolen...that's the whole concept behind this scam, to dupe people into essentially smuggling their goods out of the country.

I was told the "service" was in place for customers in countries that western european/american companies wouldn't ship to, which seemed fair enough to me at the time. I've been unemployed since March this year and have really been struggling to get some sort of work, so this seemed like a good idea...boy was I wrong.

Sucker born every minute.

another day of suffering
I woke up this morning with the sky as my roof
I head no place to rest my head
so the hard ground is my bed

I believe there are various frauds that require an intermerdiary shipping address. Here's one, for example:

Credit-card thieves find sneaky way to beat fraud checks

If you think you've been caught up in one, it might be best to report it to the authorities.

Guys can you lay off. I'm more interested in hearing what hapenned then in beating up purpleturle. I've always wanted to know how these safe schemes cost you, and often thought of answering one for the hell of it.

It's not a question of beating him up: if this was a fraud scheme, he could find himself in trouble later. If he reports it now, that should at least demonstrate his innocence.

Well, if you didn't lose any money, you made some presumably. That would make you an accessory and hat could make things awkward for you, I suppose.

More troubling is that if you were to go to interpol or whomever to give info on what you think is a credit card-bought-goods laundering operation... these folks have your address.

These scammers are still active on TT.

They browse the "employment wanted" category and contact jobseekers who list themselves there.

TT's automated PM spam protection detects these after around ten messages have been sent, and then disables the account. But the fraudster simply opens a new account. There's nothing we can do to stop this. Blocked accounts this week: sara111 and sara76.

If you receive a message saying something like, "I have a job for you, please contact me at the following address [followed by a yahoo or hotmail email]", then it's probably a scam.

The domain for the company website has since been suspended. I guess they will be changing names and reappearing under a different guise soon enough though.

ok...so I only skimmed through this thread...but nobody commented on the fact that the comapny name in Jeanius (genius...) and having not been a victim of these people...I couldn't help but snicker at that...

but on a more serious note...thanks to everyone who helped point out that it is a scam!
