Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good?
Capital 1st Transportation was promised pay ($3000) for training and reimbursement for purchasing computers and was never paid. Internet
My story is identical to the initial report. I was promised three thousand dollars to complete the training. I did my research. The website was legitimate and procedded to take the 4 week training. I turned all work in ahead of schedule, and was asked (as part of the training) to purchase computers on my credit card for which they would forward me the money....the first one went off without a hitch. Suntrust bank accts and routing numbers. The money was delivered to my credit card company. I purchased and sent the computers to the Ukraine as directed. The second time the request for funds was denied but only after my credit card company said the payment and transfer was accepted and made. The wire transfer was subsequently declined. I now have an additional 3,000 dollars on my credit card and no sign of payment training.....i'd like very much to nail these guys so it doesn't happen again. It has added a lot of stress to an already difficult financial situation.

The "training" you did probably was nothing more than "busy work" that your average high school student would laugh at how easy it was. That is why you finished it ahead of schedule. Are you really trying to say that you saw no problems with someone paying you $3,000 for buying a computer and shiping it to the Ukraine?
If you haven't heard of Money Laundering perhaps you should go look that up. Then take 3 guesses as to where that computer went. If you want a hint I will tell you that it wasn't to some School Student or a Stay at Home Mom.
These people are in a Foreign country using fake information. The chances of them getting "nailed" is about zero. But if on the off chance they are caught the officials will get the serial number off of the computer. From that they may track it back to you. If that happens you may want to think about what you are going to say if the FBI shows up at your door one morning.
There is no "easy money". You don't have a dead relative in Africa, you didn't win the Microsoft lottery, you are not going to get paid several hundred dollars to go shopping, there isn't a service member in Europe looking for a babysitter for their kid. In short if anyone you don't know sends you a check and wants you to send them money back, it is a SCAM. If someone wants you to order merchandise and send it to a foreign country it is a SCAM. It does not matter what reasoning they give you.
