Got an odd email tonight, supposedly from Lightspeed.

It isn't your usual scam message, not offering a check to be cashed, but geez Louise they better not be a real company based on this document. The formatting is just as I received it - double spaces in random areas, words running together, misspellings and a strange date format for a company located (supposedly) in New Jersey.

I could go and do research to see if they are real, but I don't really care. Just thought I would post it for yuks.

The To: and From: names are bizarre too. That is usually your first clue.

Scam

I have a GMX.COM email. It's a stable pop3 friendly free email provider that does not require any real information to create an account with:

Assume any email from gmx.com to be phishing, spam, or worse unless its a private person that you already know.

I would be inclined to say SCAM too... but I want to know what forensic audits are lol

Yeah, they are in NJ but still manage to write the date format the way they would in Nigeria....Hmmm?

From BusinessDictonary.com: forensic audit:
The application of accounting methods to the tracking and collection of forensic evidence, usually for investigation and prosecution of criminal acts such as embezzlement or fraud. Also called forensic accounting.

To my knowledge, you have to be registered CPA or have some other certification to be sworn in as an officer of the court. Because they say it isn't required That right there says scam.

My research yielded multiple addresses and scam complaints:

Fax: (513) 752-2704

support@light-speed.com

Lightspeed:

1325-1331 G Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20005
(202) 464-3200

Scam complaints follow:'

1."I was very interested in their pitch and concept. I answered all of the questions, created an account; but then they asked for not only my credit card info but for my actual log in, password, and security Q&A for my credit card site! Am I crazy or are there really people that would fall for that?? Now I am a bit nervous about giving them the little information!"

2. "I was issued a check in the amount of $1,950.00 and was asked to cash it and go to two Western Unions to transfer money to a ‘bogus’ person. I realized the day after I did the transactions that I should call the bank and see if the check went through. The bank informed me that I was just ‘scammed’! I will be responsible to pay back the money to the bank that I withdrew. I am also unemployed and struggling to keep my house.

I thought this would help save some money to get caught up in payments on the house. What a fool I am? I hope that there are people out there that will investigate before they fall into the hands of Lightspeed Research. The ones that say they have not had any problems with Lightspeed are probably the ones that are scamming all of us! I will have to pay back the money that I used to the bank for the bad check."

Heartbreaking.

(heart)

You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay.....lol - brilliant elcarev!!!
