Suspicious email

[kainedamo]

I'd normally write this type of thing off as spam, but I got this email as a direct response to my CV which I posted up on monster.co.uk.

The job description seems kinda fishy.

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 18000 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. Atecco is 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. Our

You're right. It doesn't sound like a real jobe at all.

You're right. It doesn't sound like a real jobe at all.

No. And it definitely doesn't sound like a real job, either.

they put those things out all over the place, just really crazy shady jobs. Everytime I look online for jobs I end up getting frusterated cuz only about 10 percent of them are from my area, the rest are like "anywhere" or nationwide fake internet scam craps.

Sounds like a drug/money laundering position...I hear Cartels give good benefits.
