    Default real or fake???

    so i have my resume post on career builder and this company email me...sounds good but at the same time sounds like a scam...here's the email:

    [font='Arial','sans-serif']We are glad that you showed an interest in an opening in our company. My name is Vanessa Simpson, and I am the HR Manager of WSP Trade Group LTD. I would like to say a few words about our company and its area of activity.[/font] [font='Arial','sans-serif'] [/font]

    [font='Arial','sans-serif']Our company was founded in 2005 in United Kingdom, WSP Trade Group LTD is one of the largest equipment selling companies to millions of our customers -- businesses, groups and individuals and processing payments. The WSP Trade Group LTD logo is a trusted symbol of dependability. Naturally, you have great expectations regarding your career and that means you will need plenty of room - to grow, to explore your potential and to realize your goals. HR Manager of WSP Trade Group LTD needs a responsible, honest, self motivated and reliable individual to work for the company as our Representative in USA. This is in view of us not having an office presently in the USA. You don't need to have an office and this certainly will not disturb any form of work you have going at the moment.

    [/font]

    [font='Arial','sans-serif']You don’t have to pay any fees to get this job. Nobody will ask for your bank account, credit card or social security number.[/font]

    [font='Arial','sans-serif'] [/font]

    [font='Arial','sans-serif']Because of the today’s situation on the financial market, there is a vacancy to be filled in our company; the job opening is that of a Legal Representative within the US. This opening will help our company to reduce taxes that we are obliged to pay to the government each month. And we offer you one of the highest salaries on the market today and the minimal expenditures of time!

    Presently with the amount of orders we have we cannot put them on hold for fear of losing our customers, secondly we cannot cash these payments from the US soon enough, as international checks take about 28 working days for cash to be made available here in London UK. We lose about 75,000 USD of net income each month because we have money transfer delays. Your task is to coordinate payments from customers and help us with the payment process. You are not involved in any sales.[/font]

    [font='Arial','sans-serif']
    We make direct contact for sales of products. Once orders are received and sorted we deliver the product to a customer (usually through FEDEX).The customer receives and check the products, after this has been done the customer has to pay for the products. We accept all forms of payment but most of our customers pay using Bank Checks and so in order to solve this problem and not lose any of our customers we have decided to open this new job position. This job is legal according to the U.S. legislation as it is today.

    [/font]

    [font='Arial','sans-serif']Your tasks are:[/font]

    [font='Arial','sans-serif'] [/font]

    [font='Arial','sans-serif']1. Receive payment from our customers.
    2. Cashing the checks at your existing bank account.
    3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on each payment processed.
    4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send payment to. (Payment is to be forwarded by Western Union Money Transfer).[/font]


    [font='Arial','sans-serif'] [/font]

    [font='Arial','sans-serif']Local money transfers take barely a few hours, so it will give us a possibility to get customer's payment almost immediately. For example you've got 3000.00 USD, you deduct your commission: 300.00 USD and then send to us the balance: 2700.00 USD. In the first month you will have 15-20 transactions after checking your background records, 3,000.00-6,000.00 USD so you may calculate your income. For example 20 transactions each around 3000.00 USD gives you a total income of 6,000.00 USD plus your basis monthly salary is 1,600.00 USD. Total: 7,600.00 USD per month and after establishing a close co-operation with us you'll be able to operate with larger orders and you'll be able to earn more. You will also deduct fees that are related to this job (gasoline, western union fees, bank commissions etc) from our balance, not from your salary or commissions. The checks will vary from: $500.00 to $3,000.00. We will also send you a 1099 Form for tax deduction on your part.[/font]

    [font='Arial','sans-serif']
    Our payments will be issued out in your name and you can have them cashed in your existing bank account, we don’t accept newly created bank accounts, because it slows the cashing process. Deduct your percentage and forward the balance to the company attorney manager via western union money transfer, the name will be given to you later after cashing a payment. This job takes only 3-7 hours per week. You'll have a lot of free time doing another job; you'll get good income and a regular job. This job is very challenging and you should understand it. We are looking only for the worker who satisfies our requirements and will be an earnest assistant.[/font]

    asking you to use your own account and deduct your pay is the first huge sign that this is a scam.

    You deposit checks, take the money, they don't clear, and your account owes the entire amount....don't even do it

    Scam. Run far far away.
    There was a Dateline NBC on this issue in particular..
    Google it and watch.

    That is the funniest thing i've ever scene. Everything was "professional" until that part.

    What company would encourage co-mingling?

    HATE HOW STUPID THESE SCAMMERS ARE, I ALSO HATE THE FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THEM.
