Welcome!

Scammers do set up websites for their scams, to try to make them appear more legitimate.
We report their websites and get them taken offline.

Based on a quick look at the website, I would say that this is a scam. The domain was just registered in May and for one year, supposedly to an individual in Ohio.
The business claims to be located in the UK, by the address on their website, but the phone number looks like a US number. (347) 535-4857

A google search for it shows it was used in a scam for Sun Financial.

The careers page of the websites lists a "charity" manager, which is likely the only "job" the scammer is offering. The website lists part of the job as:

- Manage personal assets;
- Making simple financial operations.


This will no doubt be processing fraudulent transactions.

Please post the emails, with header, from this scam. They will help us to report the site.

Have you sent a payment to a scammer with Western Union and now realize it's a scam? If the payment has not been picked up, you can cancel it immediately! 1-800-448-1492

A "Google" search of the contact phone number (347) 535-4857 leads to another website with the same text - sunfinancegroup.org

They both appear to be fraudulant sites either for money laundering or cheque scams. Possibly both!
Mettler group state that their address is
"300 John Islip Street Westminster
London, ENG, United Kingdom
SV1P 8DD
"
Yet they use the number (347) 535-4857 :?
Also, the street numbers don't go as high as 300.

I would stay clear.

Could you please post up their emails, preferably with headers, after removing your personal details.
