Hi Everybody,
$750 isn't a lot to scam, but consider how easily it is to send the letters- if we've got one victim posting here, there are probably another 100 in various parts of the world. If even 2% fall for it, that isn't a bad return on the time of sending a few emails.
And of course, I doubt this is the guys only scam!
Best,
Justin |

Hi, I also have been offered this job. Found this site while checking out comick global tours.
I also looked up Sanata, which isn�t Spanish; the word actually means, liar, fraudster, cheat!!!!
Also looked at pics again, they look to be in America to me. Am still communicating with "Jose" waiting for address for Comick Global Tours.
Also says wife is Maria, but one of pics calls her Renee.
That�s all info I have for now, Sarah |

| i have also applied and been accepted. signed a contract and everything. i've even spoken with "mr. sanata" on the phone several times. and now that i've confronted him about it on the phone, he keeps saying "my family would never do this. someone has taken my information and made a scam out of it." i have to say this is a really smart scam, and i very nearly fell for the $650 "application fee." i'm so glad i found this forum (literally as i was walking out the door to go get a money order for the application fee!!). thank you guys so much for flagging this!! |

| I can't believe so many people actually considered sending someone on the other side of the world 650 bucks for an application...... I mean an application? |

Wait so people actually fall for things like this????
Anyone want to help me export $1,000,000 from Vietnam. All you need to do is give me the processing fee of $800 (it's very expensive in this oppressive socialist state) and you can keep 20% as compensation after you've forwarded it on.
 (ok anyone who reads this and believes this needs to wake up) |

Dear Mr Yoink!
To apply for a Temporary Work/Entry Permit Visa and STR Visa to India , you need to submit the following documents:
1. Name of the nearest airport you would be flying into the country from.
2. International passport details,
3. An address reachable by courier services.
4. Filled Indian Work/Entry Visa Application Form.(Application Fee Included)
5. Signed Contract Letter Between You as the Employee and Your Employer
Once we receive the following information from you, We Submit your application to the Indian Immigration Service to seek approval for your Work/Entry Permit Certificates which need approval from the Comptroller General of Immigrations. It takes two to Three working Days For this kind of Case to be processed.
An Application Fee Which is to be paid by you is required to enable us commence and finalize all your necessary Work/Entry permit and registration of documents as we need to reach out to NIS for immediate procurement of your Work/Entry permit Certificates and other supporting documents in record time. As a result of time constraint for expatriates owing to the Work Commencement Date, all payments are to be made via money gram or western union money transfer.
Then proceed to scan, attach and send receipt via e mail to us informing us that the transfer has been remitted.
This would enable us initiate procurement of requisite documents. (Hard Copy Contract Letter, Prepaid Flight Tickets, and approved work/entry permit certificates ) would be packaged and sent to you via Courier Speed Delivery to enable you travel down to your duty location to resume duties in record time. Indicate in your response, convenient hours to receive package on procurement to enable us make appropriate adjustments with the courier
Documents should be expected within three working days on confirmation of payment information.
The reason for this is to ensure that expatriates with Letter of Contract do not have to travel down to India for any other reason other than the primary aim of commencement of work as required.
Please note that the cost of your Prepaid Flight Tickets Will be undertaken by your employer.
Do well to also indicate your arrival date of receipt of travel documents as that would enable us arrange airport pickup.
Please acknowledge receipt of this e mail and information contained herewith.
Regards.
COMICK GLOBAL TRAVEL TOURS ,
NEW DELHI INDIA |
I received TONS of emails just like this when I posted an ad on craigslist for private tutoring. Slightly different since I was teaching here in the U.S., but same template, asking for the same info, etc. |
