Story:
On June of 2007, Emma visited some friends in the UK . She's really like to live or travel their aging. Because she has some friends there, she wants to work or study there again. She often keeps in touch with their friend – Robert & May. At that time, she’s not happy with her company and boss ( main point=pay not so good, she felt). She felt very upset many times and going to quit soon. (But deep reason it that: She didn’t control her money well and got some debt , then she wanted to fix it quickly. => means need more salary)
Dec 3rd 2007, Emma reads the newspaper about part-time job (she had part-time job on the weekend, but the boss closed.) She saw 1 job in London , it’s a IT consultant company but only show their e-mail address, if you want to apply it, please send your resume to them. In the first, Emma feel not sure can she trust that, she check out the website, they show English and Chinese on that website and she talked to friend-May who live and work in London. May called that company and chat with Joe. She had great talk with him. Joe told May: they create by Chinese who from Taiwan , and they got other project about solar energy, so need other 25 people to do transportation on IT’s job. The company will provide:
1 room (include 3 meals)
1200 pounds ( 8% British tax) you got 940 pounds / per month
Free tickets ( London – Taiwan ) / per 180 days
After May’s told to Joe, Emma felt she can try it, maybe this is a good chance and help her to work there and improve herself.
After Emma send resume to them and finish “video conference” by msn ( only voice). One week later, she picked up that company’s staff phone call by Joe. She got this job to work as secretary. Other person – Kevin ( Director of Human resources) want to double check with Emma about on board and going to London ’s schedule and etc. Dec 11th: He sent 2 letters (Employment agreement & Engagement letter) by mail both English and Chinese style, meanwhile, Emma sign the signature and scan that back.
Joe and Kevin will always using “internet phone” (base on skype service provide) to connect with Emma. The mobile phone shows up the number looks like “international phone call” (44xxxxxxx). After that, they want Emma to provide something to help company to apply UK ’s Visa. So need the bank save money statement.(=> they make sure you got money can let them stolen)
If you don’t have enough, they will say : The company will help you to lent you 6months salary into your account to help you. They said : their will open 1 oversea bank virtual account. And give you this account number and password.
By the way, they want you earn your trust, so they tell you need to change this password will be safe. And then, you have open “telephone of back service => you can do transfer money to other people’s account => they will give you 1 person’s account number)
Call “ oversea back in Japan => this is their best time to stolen your password, when you call, you need to press the number and they will copy and record it.
…………………….a lot of account they gave me to connect with my account via telephone back service isn’t work out. When they call me, I have to go to back to set up. Terrible…. One month late, they said company can’t give you visa. Most of colleague is someone else relative, but Emma didn’t have. So Emma should provide US$1000 (= NT$330,000) to let company give the guaranteed letter to UK ’s immigration office.
2nd time transfer money about NT$770,000 => They want Emma to provide that to make sure she won’t make crime thing in the UK .
After transfer money, Joe and Kevin can’t contact at all. Emma found it’s……….. 2nd time transfer, the bank found(Ben / Angel) the account very strange, the money 330,000 withdraw from Sat-Sun (Government has rule 1day only can withdraw 10,000 by ATM / 1 time only 30,000) So Ben ask Emma said, did you know them, why you transfer money to them. Also, Ben said this account open by last money , people said the want open drink shop. It’s strange. Ben & Angel stop 2nd time transfer and keep money in their bank. Emma tell police office ~~~ it’s too late.
After double check with police office, it didn’t find the real “Joe and Kevin (cheat group) => the using other people’s ID to open new account and get the ATM card. But the real person policeman catch that only someone lost their ID or they want get some money so they lent to cheap group.
Extra story = Ben was a good people. But he wants Emma to write letter to their boss the give he some reward. Because of this, he didn’t really help Emma to get 770,000 back. Emma wait 1.5months long, Even she wrote it, it doesn’t mean the company must give reward to Ben. But he didn’t think about that, he only focus on when he want. Every time Emma’s ask him, how can I get my money back and what’s process I need to follow. After Elle talk to Ben, he knows if he didn’t start to follow up, Elle will let bank of Headquarter know this situation. Ben wants Emma bring her parents to get money back. He said a lot to Emma’s father:” you need to careful about your daughter, she want stolen your money, she didn’t get job in the UK . Maybe she and Joe, Kevin are both friends and set for this case to thief your money”. God……….Emma lose her parents trust at all.
