CJ Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Or is this just a repost I received this tonight: We have found your resume at Monster.co.uk and we would like to offer you a job. It is a part-time job that consists of receiving payments from customers (through bank transfers) and then making further payments to our main office or to one of our regional affiliated departments, depending on the customer's location. Your commission as an agent is 6% of each transaction. For example, if you receive 2000 GBP to your bank account, you will withdraw the money and keep 120 GBP for yourself. Your salary will be approximately 12000 GBP per year. The hours for this work are flexible and can be combined with any permanent or other part-time job, with an average workload of up to 10 hours a week. All additional money transfer fees and money transfer-related charges are covered and paid for by our company. Therefore you'll only be responsible for making the proper payments in time (i.e. within 48 hrs of successful receipt into your account). Each transaction will be transferred only after prior notification, which will sometimes be a notification by phone call. Our company's principal business is based on a peer-to-peer type payment network, this business model heavily employs all the latest internet technologies. We are one of only a few companies that uses regional representatives in its business operations. This avoids high foreign taxation and cross-board acquisition fees. If you are interested in our offer, please feel free to ask for details of the general provisions of the contract.

Scoboblio Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 It's more likely to be looking for money-mules than an actual scam - happens all the time, scammers (for example, Nigerian ones), use your name, address etc to wash the money they've made illegally. They send it to you - you send it back and they withdraw it when it's clean.

Konrad Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I would say it is pure example of money laundring (sp?). You will do it few times and they get arrested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
