Deacon Electronics contacted me via email last October, 2009 regarding a home-based job as Customer Data Entry. The website (deacon-inc.com) looks convincing enough to be genuine.

And so I replied and expressed my interest in the job, which claimed to pay 210 Euros per week on a 2-hour per day job. The name of the person who sent me an email was Mr. Ebner G. Caden, in Cagliari, Italy. They required some documents from me which included an updated CV, filled-out application form, education certificate, and work certificates.

Then after 5-6 processing days, they sent me an scanned acceptance form, agreement form, attestation and even an employment id card, informing me that I was accepted for the home-based job. They mentioned that the original copy of the previous-mentioned scanned documents will be sent via courier within 8 days at my given home address. Then the last process required would be a deposit of 70 Euros to serve as a cash deposit of a data entry control panel( to be used on the data entry job) to make sure the correct person would receive the equipment. It will be further refunded on the first week of my rendered service.
The money was to be sent via Western Union to a person named Dan Adrian Tulbure, Assistant Acountant of Deacon Elctronics Inc. with the company address: 739, Via Contivecchi Luigi 07134 Cagliari, Italy.

No job / position where the future client is asked for money before being paid is serious! It is SCAM !!! Doesn't matter how serious the company seems to be. Asked them to send you their bank details, to send them a check or a Bank draft instead of Western Union option. They will not write you back anymore. They will not give you any details because they can be tracked this way.

It seemed strange to me since they didn't ask me any Bank account details and they didn't have any phone number for contact. The person's name is a Romanian name... Then I saw this message on this site. So that I take this opportunity to warn all those who are dealing at the moment with this company. Guess I am not the only one. And hope none to get into this scam.
