Lol. TMZ, comes for Nigerian fraudsters in this
exclusive report. Find below...
How would you like to be the assistant to
a major Hollywood producer? You can get
the job now by going online. You will
receive a job offer and an assignment ...
that will ultimately screw you out of
thousands of dollars, thanks to Nigerian
fraudsters.
Here's the fraud by the numbers ...
-- People who want to break into Hollywood
post resumes on various websites. Some
of them get an email from people claiming
to be major Hollywood players, looking for
an assistant.
-- The "players" -- who actually register
Gmail accounts using the names of the
actual big shots -- offer jobs to the super-
eager applicants from all over the country.
-- The "players" give the applicants a start
date and a first assignment, to get their
feet wet.
-- The "players" actually send the
applicants a check to deposit -- usually for
$3,000 -- and then purchase pre-loaded
debit cards. The applicants are told to
send the cards to several charities near
and dear to the "players."
-- But since the applicants haven't even
had their first day of work, the "players"
tell them to snap a photo of the debit
cards with the numbers to prove they
followed instructions correctly ... kind of a
test.
-- The applicants then dutifully send the
pics and the "players" then execute the
fraud by draining the cards with online
shopping.
So, by the time the charity gets the cards
the account is dry.
As for the checks ... well, they look like the
real deal, but they're fake. So by the time
your bank figures out the scam, the money
is spent and you're on the hook.
We've confirmed the names of 2 big wigs
are being used ... famed director Louis
Leterrier and big-time producer Alex
Orlovsky -- he made Ryan Gosling.
We're told the feds are investigating the
case, and we've learned all of the IP
addresses and server information goes to
Nigeria. And everyone has a friend who's
a prince in Nigeria.
