I received the same job offer, as they found me from a recruiter - told I'd purchase items through a company credit card, but then they it was weird I could not print the job description, forward the email. They then said I need to use my credit card and they would put the money on there to trust be before I trust them. And then the purchasing job turned into a "sales job", cause they then try to entice you by giving you commission on your "purchases". What company does that? The company sounds valid in Switzerland, but the mistake with me is the letterhead indicated Sophie Ostermann's address in New York, guess a Texan was impressed by talking to someone in the "big city". I called New York and the building leasing office could not find them. They sent me to the researcher AND he is so great, he found the scam on this website which I could not find. I figured if they had an office that was a start to see if it was even legit, but I had several red flags so thought I'd play their game. Glad I listened to my intuition! Here are several docs sent to me I had to cut and paste from emails. They actually try to make me feel comfortable about using my CC. It will "raise my credit score". Awwww paying my bills raises my credit score.
Here are other names used involved: Joseph K. Woods, Joe Danto, Emily Campbell.

From Sophie Ostermannon 2/10/2016
Here is some more detailed information regarding the next step:
This is a purchasing position and you don't have to invest anything. The first step is about transferring some funds TO your existing accounts.
For security reasons we never ask for any account or credit card numbers. Mostly because providing your account sensitive details by e-mail is not safe.
Our Financial Department found a secure way to transfer funds to our employees, checking their credit liability and boosting their credit score in the same time.
We are currently working only with major credit card companies: Bank Of America, Chase, Discover, Capital One, BB&T, Amex, etc;
To create your personal working plan, we would like to know some technical information about your credit cards: your balance details(approximate numbers) and their issue banks.
Please fill in the attached Payroll form or send this information by e-mail:
Issue Bank, Current balance*, Credit Limit**
1) Capone, $3000, $10000
2) Chase, $5000, $12000
3) Amex, $8000, $16000
4) BOA, $9000, $30000
If, for some reason, you don't want to provide this information, just choose your category from this list:
My total Current Balance on all of my credit cards is:
A) $50,000+ B) $20,000+ C) $10,000+ D) $5,000+ E) $1,000+
Please sum up your current balances on all of your cards and provide me with the suitable letter from "A" to "E".
I will give you a call for a brief phone interview right away after we get your balance information. Many details will depend on this amount.
Using several credit cards is a great start. Your commission will be probably increased as for Wholesale Operations Specialist.
* The Current Balance is how much you owe. This is the amount we could work with. Each transaction should be lower than your Current Balance.
Maxed out cards are great.
** A Credit Limit is the maximum amount of credit that a financial institution will extend to a debtor for a particular line of credit.
