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.
Welcome to Hollywood.
