Borealis Destination Management

Victim Location 33326

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

A gentleman named Lars Yohannsen in "Denmark" contacted me to offer me an international job as vacation supervisor and the requirement is that I handle all the financial, logistic (hotel reservation, complaints…) planning out of the US for his clients and promise to pay $3,000/month salary for my services + 5% comm for all financial transactions. I received a check (almost $2,500) from a "client" in CA and I was asked to deposit it and keep 5% comm before sending the remaining $ via money gram to someone that "works" at Borealis in Poland. The scam would be completed when the bank would call me after a few days (or weeks) telling me that the check is invalid or bogus and I need to pay back the whole amount deposited (+ fees). Meanwhile, the scammers would have received my $2,300+ via moneygram and disappear. I caught the scam on time. This gentleman even uses a +45 area code when he calls and sends you a full 7 pages employment agreement from the company Borealis with actual logo, address…which makes it look even more "legit". Beware!

Type of a scam Employment

I’ve received multiple unsolicited emails from Lars Yohannsen who claims to be the supervising manager for a Borealis Destination Management. He provides a link to the company through a website and linked in listing, but there is no substance to these pages. The salary is outrageous (3000+/mo for 7-12 hours of work per week) and the job description states that I would be cashing checks and using Western Union to forward money to the company. The email he provides is [email protected], website is www.bdm-aps.net

There are no reviews of the company and the work description is beyond sketchy, but by all other accounts this would appear to be a legitimate business and I can see many people getting sucked into this scam…particularly because they don’t ask for a SSN or Bank Account up front.
