Hey, I resent that buffalo. I used eharmony and I'm not terrible looking. Ok...well maybe I am, but at least I can admit it. But my e-wife is super thin. I guess of the 29 dimensions of compatibility they screen for, waistline isn't one of them hehe. Anyway, I'm working on plumping her up a bit, lest she fall through a subway grate.

My wife received this scam email 2 weeks ago, along with numerous notifications that we've won 10 different lotteries, and 5 people who want to bequest their entire estates to random strangers. Honestly, who the hell is going to fall for this kind of ###?

Capital World Financial Scam Detection Centre is overkill. They shouldn't have to have one of these. People should just listen to what mommy said and don't talk to strangers.

It isn't overkill, smitter. It's corporate responsibility, and it sends an implicit message to their clients that they're working to keep them safe.

Well, tomtom, you're both right. CWF's gotta do their part, but I also think that in this world you can't afford to be stupid. If you're stupid, you deserve to get scammed. Brutal, but try. It's natural evolution. Those who remain will be scam-proof. (hopefully hehe)

Wow, looks like capital world financial scam detection centre is on the receiving end of another barrage. Btw, toystory, it's not that their stupid, they're just old. Some elders are losing their life savings over this kind of stuff. have mercy on them, dude. You could know some of them.

Scam-proof, toystory? Umm...I don't think so. See, you forgot one thing: scammers also evolve. Until the Earth becomes a utopia, a scam-free world just ain't happening.

Right now, all we can do is be grateful that capital world financial is doing their part.

i know a guy who's involved in one of these. they are like the lowest of the low. he also got caught for counterfeiting. they threw the book at him, and i think he got a combined sentence of 11 years. this kind of scam is the product of organized crime. it takes several parties to pull something like this off. and it's everywhere. now on craigslist there are warnings built into every viewing screen to remind you of the possible dangers of doing business there. capital world financial scam detect program is pretty fast at finding these scams and exposing them. most companies move much slower. my guess is they use smarter bots to scour the net for dirt.

I've heard of this one. The reason it's so successfull is that the cheque will clear initially by the bank, and many tellers will tell you that a cashier's cheque is as good as cash. It takes 2 full weeks to find out that the cheque is a fake, and it's during that time the baddies do bad things to you. I heard the crooks can also certify the cheque, making it look even more convincing, but the bank certifying the cheque is actually in on it too. The only way to prevent something like this is through education. There ought to be a site intended solely for this purpose, but if there is one it sure isn't marketed adequately. At least capital world financial scam centre is doing what they can, but honestly it should be as easy as saying, "hmm...not sure about this email here...oh wait, there's an app for that.

well, when it's too good to be true, it usually is. And when the offer is from the internet, it ALWAYS is. An overpayment just screams take me.

ah crap, i had a feeling an overpayment was too good to be true. there's some hot african girl who's been msning me about wanting to come over to canada and needing a place to stay. She offered me all this money from the modelling agency who is supposed to pay for her stay here plus the cost of books and other education costs. if i get a call from some strange local number i'll have capital world financial scam alert to thank. it's no more mr. nice guy for me. i'm gonna ask her to send me a picture of her with today's date written on a hand held sign. If she can't produce it, game over.

I noticed this on Craigslist a couple of weeks back, and it quickly got removed by admin. I think people are being more annoyed by these types of scams and are actually beginning to report them to admin whenever possible. i noticed that capital world financial scam detection protocols work a bit different from other scam detection operations employed by other companies. cwf's is the only one that can detect different strains of the same scam, whereas others seem to look for specific wording in the text, so anytime there's a different version of the same scam it goes undetected.

The email I got seems a bit different. It basically offers a contract with CWF for a few hundred bucks or something. It doesn't really make sense, because this would imply that the company will hire anyone. But it's pretty well worded, though, which is more than I can say for some of these other online scams you see where they're barely intelligible. Anyway, looks like there are many variations plaguing this company. I guess they must be doing really well, only good companies become targets.

That's so true, jelli. Even Walmart will interview you before you get hired, so it's a sure fact that a financial planning firm will do the same. But desperation will cloud proper judgement, so I'm sure these scammers will have some people fooled. My friend actually called me about it, asking whether it was too good to be true. Sadly I had to be the messenger. :(

A pity CWF got hit. One of the few honest financial planning firms out there. One thing's for sure, Capital World Financial scam prevention measures are pretty good and thorough. Must've spent a bundle.

Lol, jelli, yano what the only companies that will hire anyone are MLMs. I'm tellin' ya, those guys won't leave you alone. They just keep callin and callin non stop promising you that you can be lazy and make tons of money just sitting there in MLM. CWF on the other hand isn't MLM, and in fact they only hire a few advisors a year to keep their quality control tight.

Haha smitterfossel, that's so jokes. I don't think you'd want "waistline" to be a dimension of compatibility. The last thing you'd want is some orka fat chick who could swallow you whole in a survival situation. Especially when you'd be forced into orbit with her gravitational pull.

lol i know a guy who got rejected from eharmony, smitter. He was adamant that his partner MUST play D&D. HAHAHA so jokes, that's just a surefire way not to get laid. I think someone ought to smack this guy upside the head with a +1 mace. I just don't understand geeks sometimes. They're really smart people, though, and I respect that. I wouldn't be surprised if it was super smart mage with +35 intelligence who wrote the algorithm to some of capital world financial scam protocols. ###, I gotta stop geeking myself out like that, or else I might have to roll a D20 for a saving throw.

mearthy, do you mlm guys have nothing better to do than just hang out in places like this defending yourselves all day long? How come there are so many of you super-defensive mlm-ers here? Shouldn't you be out building your business? And what jelli said was true, and even most mlms state very clearly that you don't need any prior experience or expertise. Doesn't that encompass everyone? Dude, you guys gotta stop getting all flustered and twisting things. It just ain't healthy. peace.
