Is First Corporate Services A Legit Company?

[webdiva]

Thanks Dotti...boy it's quite an effort on their part isn't?? WOW!! I appreciate everyone's help.

They have to make it realistic in order to trick people in doing it in the beginning. Still actually working for a living instead of stealing is much more of an effort

Pretty interesting as she, Monica Mitchell, had her email changed in just one day. I received the same email regarding the job offer with all the attachements that looked so official but the email address it came from was: nyhrmonicamitchell@firstcorporatesrv.com which is different than the one given above. Thanks so much as I almost fell for this and really can't afford to get involved in anything like this!!!

Rolland,

I am so sorry to hear what you have been going through . I almost fell for the scam as well. I have a folder of printed out documentation of the elaborate lengths that this Monica lady went through to try and draw me into this phoney operation. If you need me to send you any of the PDF files sent to me so that you can give them to the police, I would more than happy to do so. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you regarding this. Best wishes.

Dear ALL,

I am also a victom of this scam. I believe I got greedy and lost almost $30,000. I shopped a total of 29000 but including shipping and everything it cost me 30 grand. By the time First corporate services first payment got returned, I shipped all items. I am now coordinating to russian post office to return back few items but I don't know the fate yet. There were several payments made to my credit card by FCS ( Monica Mitchell) but all of them returning. I was foolish to believe that money posted but I didn't know money can be return in 12 days. I am bankrupt now. Monica Mitchell's email address is monica.mitchell.hr@frstcorporser.com, and her phone number is 6468639612, I filed an FBI case # IC3 Complaint: I1207031302233442

If anybody wants to give reference to FBI please do so.
I think this lady is part of int'l gang and has both european and american accent and her phone voice mail changes to american and european accent but I believe it is same lady. This lady linkedin has wall street connection, but may be the same lady and doing cheat in different way.

Her address 20 west 18th st, New york, NY 10011 might be fake. I live far away and looks like no law agency wants to help me at this moment. If you want to help me please send me an email:

Thanks-

MMA

I'm sorry to hear that you got pulled into this scam. Unfortunately, the mules are often the ones who end up paying.

As to how the money can be returned--I think this is one of the areas that is surrounded by the most confusion. I know some people have thought they were safe, because they called their credit card company, asking if the transfer could be reversed, and were told "no." But - and this is where the problem lies - the credit card company is assuming that the account owner actually initiated the transfer, and has now changed his/her mind. But in this scam, the scammer would have used phished or hack accounts to make the transfers -the account owner had nothing to do with the transfer, and he/she did NOT agree to it. So the transfer was not authorized, and is not valid When the account owner discovers the missing money, which can take a few days, even a week or two--it won't take too long to prove he/she was not behind the transfer, which will lead to the reversal.

I think this lady is part of int'l gang

This particular scam is often carried out by hackers in the former Soviet Union, and is used to generate cash (or in this case, merchandise, but the intent is the same) from accounts picked up in phishing sites or from virus-infected computers. It is not unusual for the major hacker gangs to have accomplices in the US and/or Canada. In most cases, a local accomplice who is aware he is committing fraud won't use his/her real name and information.
