Check Processing Employment Scam Letter
from:
John Chandler, Payments Manager, Allianz Finance, LLC
NOTE:
"John Chandler" is not
the real name of the scammer
As with
many of these scams, the emails are not all written by the same author even
though they are signed using the same name.

Letter Source: Like
Allianz #3, this letter originated from an IP belonging to a porn web
site. The IP block is located in Oregon. The porn site
apparently collects credit card information, which is then most likely
stolen and used to order electronic checks to send to Payment Processing
Scam victims. If you notice, the scam started with wired funds (see
Allianz #3) but now the scammers
are telling the victim
that she will be receiving paper checks.
Take a look at the transfer instructions: They've
instructed the victim to send the funds to Moscow. While that in of
itself is meaningless because the funds can be picked up anywhere once
they are in the Western Union system, keep in mind that
Allianz #4 originated in Russia. Moscow
was one of the possibilities.
DO NOT CONFUSE allianzfinance.biz with the real Allianz
Finance II BV / Allianz Group, a legitimate Dutch company. The bad
guys love to use the names of legitimate companies to do their dirty work.
They have also plastered bank logos on their site to make themselves
appear legitimate.
