Is it just me or does this look a little sketchy?

Question

Dear Friend,

********* Group Inc. announce a new job opening and propose you to join our

team. Our company provides multiple services, including financial and

specifically escrow services for online auctions. Our clients are large auctions

with a large number like ebay.com, yahoo.com and private auctions with a small

number of clients.

All payments from our customers are processed via bank transfers. In fact we

need to get payments for our products as soon as it possible to be able to

provide our services quickly. The problem is that we are unable to process

customer’s payments fast enough because international bank transfers take about

7-15 working days to complete. We lose much money because of delays that’s why

we open new job position for solving this problem.

Answer 1

It is a scam, BIG TIME.  

They will want your account number and maybe then drain your bank account.

But since they talk about the timing?  They have already set you up.

They STATE that the payment coming to you take longer to process and they want it sooner.

So they will send you phony payments which you deposit and then you send them money minus your 8% (haha). By the time you find out that the payments are phony they will have taken your money and be gone.

If you think about it you will see the basic premise is a lie.

What makes you think you can transfer money faster than the bank can? Aren't they going through the bank anyway? Aren't you?

And nobody legitimate would pay 8% to get their money a little faster, to save a few days. That is a HUGE interest rate.  So them saying they lose money waiting is totally bogus.

These people belong in jail.

Answer 2

...think about it...

Answer 3

The standard "Nigerian" type scam. Most people know about this basic "deposit our client check and forward the money minus your commission via wire to us" scam.

Just delete do not even respond

I would say if this is the first contact you have received from them, it is not exactly the right way of answering your post - unless you have a cv that screams "$1500-2000 start salary is robbing me but I'll take it like I don't know any better" - and in which case they are finding you to be employable within their job criteria because you don't know any better.....

.....'hot' jobs did you say...?

Answer 5

This is a prime example of someone running a scam operation and if you "were hired" you'd never see a dime and your pay checks would bounce.

Also would any reputable company allow SOOOOO many errors in a job ad.

Run, run, run from this as far as you can.

Answer 6

Hi,

There are many ways to market a small business on the web.  You can buy banner ads, text links, or use PPC.  However, the best way is to get listed in a bunch of portals. Portals and directories are like phone books, and they often provide a lot of traffic because they tend to rank high on Google.

This portal is giving away a free business card holder for lising your business (I got mine a few days ago in the mail).  If you want to know about some other portals, just let me know.

Answer 7

run, don't walk away from this one.  it is a scam.  They will either try to get you to put up cash to get started, or use you to launder money once they have you set up.  You will not make any money and most likly would be helping them steal it from others.
