I called them and talked with them for a moment or so, and when I asked them if they were with the BBB, they hung up on me.

If it's too good to be true, it probably is" as the saying and you say.  \n\nYahoo! finance does not do this.  They state different companies do this, craigslist, ebay, google.  They are not a middleman.  \n\nWestern Union is your tip-off.  A person only has to have their name on the money and can pick it up.  They don't even have to show ID!    So if you send it to Yahoo!finance, care of Andrew Smith, he gets your money and there is no traceability.  Bye -bye money.  \n\nI would shut-off all contact immediately.  I played a game with an Andrew in the UK on craigslist about 6 months ago for a $40,000 car he was offering for $14000.  Same story as yours above.  I told him the only way I could pay him was with a certified cashiers check for $19000.  Use $2000 to cover shipping and I need to have the $3000 over that sent back to me.  I reversed the situation back on them as to what they were trying to do to me.  Never heard from him again, but I reported the e-mail address to yahoo at abuse@yahoo.com and to craigslist, who promptly removed the ad.\n\nAnd they can give you a tracking number easily.  "I have shipped the vehicle via Universal car shippers out of London.  Your tracking number is bs1423-34v-23fd-3432."  How do you know if that's real?  You are only going to check it when you don't get the merchandise.  \n\nContact a customer service person at Yahoo!finance and ask them if it's legit.

I recieved a letter from this company last week too. I have done some research and called the real M&T Bank they think it is a scam. I have called the number on the chck several times and the same man always answeres but he can never answer all of my questions. I have also talked to the people at the Ox ridge place ( if it is a real company) and they want you to send them 2200 dollars to process the money to get your $69,000. The real M&T bank said if it was real they would most likely just take the money out and send you the rest. The real M&T bank doesn't have any info on the check number I gave them either. The guy a talked to with the fake M&T bank also get very aggrevated when you ask him to many questions couldn't give me the phone number of the bank and asked me to call back later to speak to a supervisor. The funniest thing is the same guy always answers the phone now what bank has the same person answer the phine every day at different times in the day. So, yes I would say this is all a scam and some one is out to make some money. I am in the process of doing more research too.

If its one of those letters that promises something if it gets sent to so many people then yes its a scam.  They also usually say its a marketing campaign and give a persons name and phone or e-mail address to verify it.  There all scams.  Sorry

It sure is a scam. You should report it to : \nhttp://www.fraudwatchinternational.com/\nThey will take action.

sorry to hear you got scammed. Really, is there anything you can do? I'm not sure. Why not go through the staff? \nHow'd you get scammed anyway? I don't quite see how... then again, I'm probably cautious to the point of being anal about it. \nMy advice it really to go through the admins. I'm not really sure that there's a way around it.

I recieved an unsolicited offer to handle payments made to the company.  Could not find anything on them.  Are they legitimate?

No its not legit, they are trying to get you o buy something that is useless. You PC is  infected with malware. Use these scans to get rid of it.\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market.

This is a scam. It is a non existent company (a phishing site) that they direct you to. \n\nThis site is used to gather information from you and then put you on a spam email list. There is no way to unsubscribe, and the only way to stop receiving emails from them is to block their email address.\n\nI too received an email from them, offering a customer service position with outrageous pay and benefits. To me, anything that seems too good to be true - probably is.\n\nIn addition, I did a whois on this company and according to the source (whois.domaintools.com), "We have recorded 92 Whois changes for instanthumanresources.com since 2005-11-29."  \n\nThat's a lot of whois changes to domain name registar informtion over a 6 month period.  \n\nThe same server that hosts instanthumanresources.com also appears to host 5 other sites.  \n\nAs a software engineering major, and someone who runs a webserver of his own, a single server running 6 different sites, while a single site having 92 registar changes to their whois information, seems to be very suspicious.\n\nThere can be legit companies out there that host multiple websites on a single server, but for "Knightbridge", all the facts point to a very large scam.

I received a letter from this Count Raffaello.  My letter says I will receive an urgent call and someone will need me to come to their home immediately and I will be involved in a serious car accident which will be fatal to my friend who is driving.  It also states that someone will knock at my door at 11 or 11:45 pm and I should not open my door to them but to check the newspaper later to see what my fate would have been.  If your letter says theses things then it is just a mass mailing and a scam.
