have received these emails.
The email and Worldvoicenews.com are nothing but scams. We're currently investigating these.
A visitor first reported it to us in early March
2007. This email and website looks very similar to other jobs scams, like
eBandSearch.com, TooSpoiled.com and AdminSolutionsGroup.com
Have your received one of these WorldVoiceNews / WorldMoneyTransfers, etc
emails? We'd like to hear from you about your
experiences -

these are possibly a new wave of identity theft attacks.

I recently within the past week or so have received an email exactly like
the one you have posted on the website about this scam! Mine was from Robin
at world money transfers.net (not .com) obviously changed.
I really thought it might have been legit because it came from
monster.com where my resume is. I have not yet received anything and all
they have is my name address and phone number (cell). I'm based in Iowa.
I'm not going to do anything yet, I'm going to wait to see what I get and
then report it. I plan on informing local authorities to let them know of my
plan and see what they suggest. Hopefully I can catch them and we can end
this misery once and for all.
The most disappointing fact of it all is, I really need the extra cash I
don't make enough money with my part time job, and I play in a Christian
rock band traveling frequently so working maximum hours never happens.
Good luck with your cause of stopping these fools.

I just received an email today from "Lauren Piccoli". It is word for word
like the other ones I saw posted here. I have only had my resume on
Monster.com for a week or so. These guys work fast. I know it's always a
gamble to post any of your personal info on line...perhaps I should restrict
the resume listing. I don't know. I do know that I am far too suspicious to
follow a link in an unsolicited email, especially an unsolicited email that
sounds too good to be true. I appreciate sites like this that provide a
heads up to people. It is a particular shame that people needing a job,
having posted a resume online, would be a target for scams. But that is the
state of the world and all we can do is be aware. If it sounds too good to
be true it usually is. I live by this and it protects me from being scammed
time and time again. Thank you, Sion

I was also scammed by these people. They screwed up my life. I am now going
to court trying to fix this scam. Please if there is anything that you know or
that you may have to help me explain to the court what exactly happened I would
be so thankful. I'm a single parent and I have no idea what to do now. Also here
are some more emails addresses to add to your list.

I was contacted by phone from someone from World Careers prior to receiving
the email below. However before completing any of the login information via the
link I decided to check them out as my resume on Monster.com had not been viewed
in the last two days. I have also received spam emails from World-Voice and
Too-Spoiled. I have since blocked those email addressed. I hope this information
is useful.
Thank you,
Elaine R.

After having posted on careerbuilder.com, I have been getting a disturbing
number of emails claiming to be offering jobs from companies that do not check
out after search on Google. I recently received one from someone called Morgan
Corbin saying he or she was from World Voice News, claiming to be a fast-growing
internet news source with thousands of reporters in the U.S. and TENS of
thousands worldwide and offering me a position as an expert in their
"Entertainment and Travel Advice" section with a starting pay of thirty dollars
an hour. An internet search debunked the claims of World Voice being a large,
growing company, finding only a few web pages relevant to it. Most of these
pages could only belong to the company itself. One of them,
www.thetruthaboutworldvoice.com, defends
World Voice against supposedly slanderous accusations that can be found online,
while another page
www.whatisworldvoice.com tries to
promote the company by taking some pathetic cheap shots at other news outlets,
such as claiming CNN produced poor coverage of "the initial Iran war,"
apparently not aware that we have never been at war with Iran, it is Iraq we
have invaded. Great use of stock photography, but everything else looks and
smells like s***. The only other page, that was from a site called Associated
Content (www.associatedcontent.com/article/178253/world_voice_news_scam_.html)
mentioned World Voice described it as a fraud site, claiming it is merely a
renaming of a previously exposed fraud called USA Voice that would solicit
people to contribute news articles in exchange for monthly payments. The monthly
payments never materialized, with the real intent probably being to phish
information from applicants. AC also noted that the only source describing
slanderous information about World Voice was from World Voice itself on the page
mentioned previously. This suggests an attempt to preemptively address claims
that will inevitably be made as this scam is revealed by people like me who are
tired of all this BS. Here is a copy of the email that I have cut and pasted
from my junk email folder:
