I received a new scam email today – I’m posting it here because when I search for LCN Company and LCN Team, the search results do not mention anything about scams. Hopefully this post will bullet to the front page for those particular terms and help people contacted by this company to know this is a scam.
Administrative Assistant is available today for full and partial position.
LCN Company is a worldwide goods retailer that is why your general tasks will be connected with sales customer support for operations held in Australia: keep the data of all the deals and orders payment; cope with customers in USA, Eastern Europe and Asia; give all the necessary service and support to our selling department.
You will be paid up to 3800 AUD per month plus bonuses for the part-time position and for full-time position – 5800 AUD per month plus addition.
We have a trial period, during this period you will be trained and guided. This period is also paid.Minimum Requirements are easy. You just need to have computer with access to the Internet, also Excel skills (the software must be pre-installed), interpersonal and communication skills.
Interested prospects should respond directly to this email address. Our company will certainly contact you at our earliest convenience.
Have a great day!

LCN Team.
They are using many different names with @outlook.com email addresses – anyone can sign up for free email at outlook.com – Also they seem to have a couple of urls now – lcnwork.com and email addresses used for further emails are using that domain name – lcn-premium.com, lcnjob.com, lcnrecruit.com and now lcn-hr.com are also being used by these same scammers.
Update 21/08/15 –
They are now using gmx.com email addresses. This is another place anyone can sign up for free email addresses.
Update 16/09/2015
They are now using the name RNT as well as LCN.
Mega Important Note!!
If you got this email from a different name and email address, please leave a comment asap, you can use a fake name and email address to post the comment if you like. I’ll regularly add in other names and emails used in to the post. It will help other people who are searching for the names. Thanks everyone who leaves a comment, it WILL stop people from getting scammed. :)
Second Mega Important Note –
DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT if you replied and they send you a second email with an attachment! If you did open an attachment, you must run a virus scanner and malware scanner ASAP. There are many different virus scanning programs out there, you probably have one you like to use, just make sure it is the LATEST version!!! and that it is up to date.
If you do not have a favourite, you could try AVG which has a free version.
Update – I’ve had two different people look at the files (safely because that is hugely important!) and it looks like they do not contain any nasties. Even so, you want to run antivirus and malware scanners, just to be on the safe side.
Keep Yourself Safe –
It is hugely important in future to remember – *never* open an attachment from someone you do not personally know. For me that means people I have actually met in the flesh.
Also, keeping internet browsers and phone apps up to date, using an anti-virus program, and keeping your anti-virus program up to date is important as well.
Using things like SMS verification for internet banking can be a good thing, too. ;)
I gave them my bank account details?
If you gave them the account name, BSB and account number, they can easily print fake cheques with that information. You definitely need to speak to your bank about this ASAP.
In this particular instance, you may find they deposit a sum into your account – or they may send your account a payment from a stolen credit card. If that happens, DO NOT touch that money, because eventually the bank will reverse that payment. It may take some time – in some cases 6 months to a year – but it *will* happen eventually and you will have to repay that amount of money to the bank.
If it were my bank details, I would close that account as a matter of great urgency. Speak to your bank as soon as you can, and they will likely advise you to do that.
I would advise anyone caught out by this scam to make a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman. The scam victim may be able to sort out a deal with the bank where the bank pays some – or all – of the losses.
Don’t Tell Them!
It seems these scammers are using a template from LMP Company and they have switched names because the very first result for LMP Company now leads to scamwarners.
So – please – do not tell scammers that their company name is listed here or anywhere else on the web as a scam – it will take them mere seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be easily searchable for any future victims to find.
All you have to say is that you know this is a scam – you do not have to tell them how you know.
Wait! I think I’m being scammed!
Did you receive this email and reply to it? This is a fake job scam. There is no job. Most likely, you will be sent a fraudulent check, and they will want you to send them money because your bank will clear the check at first.
Check? – Cheque? – Bank Draft?
These are all names for the same thing – the name used depends on which country you live in. I use the term check here on the blog because check is the most commonly used spelling in the USA, and people in the USA are the most targeted for these job scams.
If you have banked a check from them –
but you still have the money and have not sent it anywhere – PUT THAT MONEY BACK IN YOUR BANK RIGHT NOW. Do not send any money via Western Union or Moneygram.
If you have banked a check from them –
And you have sent the money via Western Union or Moneygram, then you may wish to seek legal advice. I strongly suggest that you do so as a matter of urgency, because..
In the USA, scam victims can be arrested for banking a fraudulent check.
See this article – Check from a scammer bounces victim into jail – Even the FTC in the US gives out incorrect information re check scams – they say “The bottom line is that until the bank confirms that the funds from the check have been deposited into your account, you are responsible for any funds you withdraw against that check.”
This is UNTRUE –
even if the bank confirms the funds have been deposited, the bank can undo the transaction at any time when they discover the check was stolen or fraudulent – even up to a year after they “cleared” it. But you did not know this, and nobody ever tells anyone this.
This is not your fault – it is the fault of the banks, who hide this fact deep within the terms and conditions booklet that you receive when you open an account – these terms and conditions you have agreed to abide by when you opened your account.
If you are not willing to seek legal advice, the only advice I can personally provide to you is to print out all the emails you received and the emails you sent, print out that page from the Federal Trade Commission and keep it somewhere safe for if/when the police eventually turn up on your doorstep.
but be aware –
and I want to make this very clear –
You will have to pay this money back to the bank eventually. The sooner you make arrangements to do this, the better.
Please Leave A Comment
If you have been in contact with these scammers, telling others about your experience, so that they can know they are not alone.

There really are scams for everything nowadays.. Stay safe people!!
Thanks Louise, I’ve added those details to the post. :)
just received this email from amy lane (amylane@lcnrecruit.com) – note that you already have the name, but the email address has changed.
Thanks Jez – that is a new email address. :) I’ve added it to the post.
I had guchiana1985@mail.com, which I see is already up here. However, when I looked at the actual sender, it was joel_engwall@hotmail.com. Thanks for warning me. If this really is true, I can’t believe people are still scamming over email in this day and age. It’s disgusting.
Chris – it absolutely is true. Scamming people is a huge industry in Nigeria. There are scammers working 24/7 to part people from their monies. They are always coming up with newer, better scams. I’ve added those email addresses to the post, thanks :)
Thanks for the warning I received this email on July 10 from Jarrah Smith (Not sure if you already have this name).

Bibek – I’ve had two different people look at the files (safely because that is hugely important!) and it looks like they do not contain any nasties. Even so, I recommend running your antivirus and malware scanners, just to be on the safe side.

Thanks Vishaljadhav for posting the email, I notice it keeps changing just slightly so the more versions we have of it, the more likely people will find this post when they search. :)
F*ck me it was the perfect job katheryn.barfield@outlook.com and amylane@lcnrecruit.com
punkymonkey53@hotmail.com
That is one reason these scams are so successful – the job sounds legitimate and it is very “easy” to do. Even though so many people have found this post, there are people being scammed by these people right now as I type this.
The more people who know that cheques can bounce up to a year after they have “cleared” the less people they can scam, so make sure to tell everyone you know – family, friends, post about it on your Facebook feed. :)

I am from Australia and also have been decieved and offered the administrative assistant job. How low and discussing praying on unemployed people I received email from these names gabrielle_hosein@hotmail.com which the other day was her name but with an outlook account also I received emails from amylanelcmrecruit.com
Thanks Tina, I’ve added those details to the post. :)
Hi..I had received similar mail from the sender Katheryn.Barfield@outlook.com for Job application of Administrative Assistant.
Then I sent my CV and Cover Letter to the same mail ID; but the reply I got was from amylane@lcnrecruit.com
I had the same thing. How terrible ya have to worry about being scammed even applying for jibs now
It is awful that these scammers are so clearly targeting Australia now. They must have bought some email lists specific to this country. :(
Thanks Ravi, I’ve added those details to the post. :)
I got an email from delmy_marroquin11@hotmail.com and was asked to send an email to Langford.Brigitte@outlook.com. Then Amy Lane stepped up….you wouldnt believe, they in-fact called my number to check whether I was still interrested.
Thanks Lawrence, I’ve added those details to the post. :) I did hear they have been calling people in previous comments. :)
I replied to Amy Lane and unfortunately sent her my bank details, what should I do now?
Emmzed – If you gave them the account name, BSB and account number, they can easily print fake cheques with that information. You definitely need to speak to your bank about this ASAP. In this instance, you may find they deposit a sum into your account from an account they have accessed fraudulently – or they may send your account a payment from a stolen credit card. If that happens, DO NOT touch that money, because eventually the bank will reverse that payment.
If it were my bank details, I would close that account as a matter of great urgency. Speak to your bank as soon as you can, and they will likely advise you to do that.
Same here… It comes Amy Lane… Is there a way we can complain to Aussie police regarding this?
Srihari, you can report the scam here if you like – Scamwatch Report A Scam.
There is not much our police can do, as the scammers are generally not in our country, and the Nigerian Police are very corrupt, so little chance of an arrest at all.
I have given all my bank details… Infact I recieved a mail from her telling that I would have the first transaction this week… I have given the complete bank details like bsb and account number… Should we close this account?
Srihari – If you gave them the account name, BSB and account number, they can easily print fake cheques with that information.
You definitely need to speak to your bank about this ASAP.
In this particular instance, you may find they deposit a sum into your account from an account they have accessed fraudulently – or they may send your account a payment from a stolen credit card. If that happens, DO NOT touch that money, because eventually the bank will reverse that payment.
If it were my bank details, I would close that account as a matter of great urgency. Speak to your bank as soon as you can, and they will likely advise you to do that.
Thank you for your saving Snoskred… You have saved many people here… I will definitely add in scamwatch… Let it help as many people as possible… There is also another scam similar to this… It comes from a person by name Sean telly… Let me search for the mail and post here…

Srihari – did you receive the money? Did you send any money? :(
I’ve received the same emails as the above from an Amy lane
Luckly I had my mum and friend look over the print out copy I did
Sounded so promising
But thanks for the heads up
Pamela – glad your family and friends knew this was a scam. For every one of you, there are likely 4-5 who don’t ask their family and friends, who end up getting scammed. :(
Hi I got an email from these people too, I knew it was a scam because I used to get a lot of these types of emails back when I was desperately looking for a job.
Here is the message, and it is almost word-for-word to what has been posted in the OP:

HR Team.
Note to anyone who receives messages like this: it IS a scam. A few years ago, I was desperate enough to accept one company’s offer because they had what looked like a legitimate logo, company profile, website, etc. and they were located in my country, apparently. I fell for it and paid the price because I gave them my bank details and my bank called me up to tell me they shut down my account due to suspicious circumstances. Turns out it was a money laundering scam. My bank gave me a warning and reopened a new account for me, but if it ever occurs again they will prevent me from opening a new account with the bank and alert other banks of my status.
DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. If it looks too good to be true – FAKE! $3500 part time $5500 full time? WAY too much money, especially for a low-tier position. FAKE!
No office in your country? No face-to-face or even phone interview before emailing you a job offer? FAKE! Asking for bank details BEFORE you even accept the job? FAKE! They don’t even use proper English – “resaler” instead of “reseller”. Obvious fraud.
Falling victim to these types of money scams CAN affect your rating and credit with the bank and other financial institutions. Be very careful of the information you send out.
Hey Me – thanks for dropping by and leaving this comment. These scams can happen to anyone, and they are constantly making up new scams, so even if people educate themselves on the current scams, 6 months from now, the scammers will be working a new angle and sometimes their angle can seem legit. For example, the car wrap scams they have recently thought up, a lot of people got caught out with that one.. ;)
Hi Snoskred, I had the same email, as shown below:

I found it strange becouse it not suit my expertise at all. Several days before i received the email, I apply for a job vacancies advertise in local Newspaper by organization that named it self as ABT JTA. They are looking for an Analyst Position for AUS AID funded Social Program in my Countries.
Here is the reply for my application from Abt JTA:
Thank you for your application for the position of XXXXX Learning & Analytics (L&A) Specialist recently received by our office.
We will be in contact with you after the closing date to advise you on the outcome of your application. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact Abt JTA should you have any questions.
Thank you for your interest in working with Abt JTA.
Kind Regards,
Abt JTA Recruitment Team
I know that it was somehow conected becouse that my other personal email in yahoo.com can’t send email with pdf content, so I sign up a brand new email from gmail.com and i never use the email address for another use. Suddenly I got an email by this LCN team that offer a job as administrative assistant just couple of days after. They use common email address and not use formal english as you often read when you applying for a job in real company/organization. They also dont asked for your experiences nor scheduled to interviewed you somehow. I gladly thank you for sharing the experiences of yours to warn other that there are a lot of fraud like this outside.

Thanks for your comment John, those extra emails should be useful to other people trying to work out how these people got their address. :)
In Australia, they bought some email lists, probably from employment agencies. I am quite certain of it because the email came to an email address I had not used in 10 years and one where I had made it specifically for a job agency.. :)

Neville, you need to speak to your bank as a matter of urgency if you gave the scammers your bank account information.
Hi,
Received a call from Emma, today, requesting me to confirm, If I can start work with them. Emma also inquired if I was able to manage my work and additional tasks that I was doing, like studying or part time work.
Btw, the bank account number I provided has no funds in it….But will still be informing my bank in regard to the same.
Neville – I hope you advised them you could not work with them. Otherwise you are looking at a fraudulent or stolen payment arriving in your bank account as a surprise. The transaction will eventually be reversed, and you will end up minus those funds, plus, you could end up with police on your doorstep.
Print out all the emails back and forward between yourself and the scammers and file them in a safe place. Write an email to them now that tells them you have been advised by a friend that this is a scam and you want nothing more to do with them – please do not point them at this site or say how you found out because they will just change the name of the company and future potential scam victims won’t find out by searching and arriving here. :)
Got an email from msunshine70@outlook.com. Please aware the audience and add into the loop.

Thanks Jules, I’ve added those email addresses to the post. :)
I’ve been getting these lately. As with Jules they seem to be sending from AOL with a reply address of Yahoo now.
This is particularly scummy because I’ve been applying for jobs lately, and this can’t be a coincidence. Whoever these people are have gotten my address somewhere, know I’m looking for work, and are trying to take advantage of that.
