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.

Thanks UniPotato. :) I’ve added that email to the post.
I just got a call from a company claiming to be LCN wanting to give me a quote on auto insurance.
I got a call from them as well, but they wouldn’t tell me anything.

I’ve received an e-mail from cereliawomackyu@gmx.com with this exact content.
Thanks for helping me in that case!
Thanks Elias, I’ve added that email address to the post. :)

Thanks Lee, I’ve added those email addresses to the post. :)
Hi,
I also receive the email couple of days ago from this email id dezellaalbanesea@gmx.com that LCN is hiring that time i didnt release it is fake. I replied them how can i apply for this job. Then again i got mail having similar content which is mentioned above and the attached application form. Then i searched on google about this i come to know it is a scam.
So, i am worried as i have given no details to them but i have open that attachment , so what i need to do? is i am safe or i need to clean my phone?
Please reply asap.
Thanks
As I mentioned in the post, Gunjan, we do not think there are any nasties in the files. I would recommend cleaning your phone to be on the safe side. :)
I’ve added that email address to the post. ;) Thanks!
I have received 3 emails from them thus far. All the emails are listed here, but i have a twist to this. I dont think they are buying aussie email addresses. I say this because my hotmail account is registered in the States but i live in Australia so when they offered the job how do they know where i am. First timebi was home visiting in the States. The number listed is from the Houston, texas region. I know as i am from Texas orginally. I researched that fac number in the States and it is linked to fraud. That was the first time i researched it. Now i am recieving two more offerring the same jobs. Always go with your intuition. Maybe they are going through job seeker profilesnon SEEK.COM.AU…i even asked how they got my email in a reply back to them and they just sent the usually standard email with the LCN powerpoint and a job application to be sent back that does not even reflect proper guidelines of job application compliance in Australia nor The U.S. i know this as i am a Human Resource Manager in both countries.
Just food for thought on them. Be very very careful. If sounds too good to be true then it probably is. Never trust western union nor Money gram unless you know exactly who it is going to personally.
Thank you for this blog.
Kel
Kel – what I mean by that is they have purchased email lists from companies in Australia. :) It doesn’t really matter where your email address is *located* in the world – mine is gmail which is also USA based. Did you use your hotmail account for any Australian websites? Seek is also one of the ways I think they are finding Aussies. :)
I’m 100% certain that the scammers are in Nigeria – they are more than likely using Skype In numbers to have phone numbers based in the USA, though there are other phone redirection services they can use.
Thanks for your comment. :)
My hotmail account is my business account for volunteering and job search in both the U.S. and Australia. What tipped me off is the second email came a week later and it was from Amy Lane. If i had the first email from Amy Lane I would post it as they were listed as a different company in May 2015. I tried on two attempts to get them to call me with no success. Tip off number 2. Including this time. The other thing..they nay have purchased a magicjack U.S. fax number which is a Voip line.
I will never forget this couples face a few years ago when they came in to cash a money gram cheque of 3500 American and to their surprise it was fraudulant. The lady broke down crying and said they had paid 500 american to a company similar scam and it was all the money they had and the pay was 3500. Police and investigators were involved and thankfully they did not deposit that check into their bank account.
I have seen so many scams online and in person. They are getting smarter on their con. Its really sad that this world is resorting to stealing from others for what really?!
Thank you again for this post.
There are over 100,000 Nigerians involved in these scams. This is their job. This is the only way they earn a living. They work on these scams 24/7 and they are getting better at it, for sure. :) Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for your comment Shaun, they keep slightly changing it and tweaking it, so every version helps. :)
What if when they send me the money, and i take it out and keep it for myself ? what will happen ? i can say it was my wages :P
Absolutely not, Abhi. Everything is traceable. The stolen funds will be tracked to YOUR bank account, and you will be the one held responsible for paying those funds back. Plus, in some countries you can end up being arrested for receiving stolen funds *and* the bank will likely close your account and/or freeze your funds. None of this will be a fun time. It is not worth doing.
I got a similar email from florenciaqzbroadbentck4621@hotmail.com

The return email address was navin.riwasa@yahoo.com and I was instructed to send inquiries and replies to Jaime.Batista@gmx.com . There was no company name given, just that they were a major advertising agency working for companies all over the world. I didn’t follow directions. I just hit reply and said, “What is your website address and from what location (building, city and state) would I be working?” I’m an English teacher so when I receive an unsolicited email that is written in poor English that has no website or company name, I am already suspicious from the first, “Hi,” For heaven’s sake. They can’t even fake professionalism. The other one I’ve already deleted. A woman claimed that she was a reporter in Texas and needed an administrative assistant. I thought it very odd that a reporter would need or could afford an administrative assistant. So, I wrote her back and asked her where she would need me to work and she replied with, “Texas.” That was it. From all those glowing reviews of my resume and just knowing I was the right one to work with her, she gives me a one word answer. Deleted. Moved on. I really could not imagine what their scam could be, but they did very little to try and make themselves appear legitimate.
