> receive the checks our customers send to your address, take them to your
> bank, cash them deduct the fees incurred and your commission and send the
> remaining amount to us. All fees for transferring the funds are supported
by
> us. You will always take your commission upfront.
>
> We make direct contact for sales of products. Once orders are received and
> processed, we deliver the product to our customer (usually through USPS).
> The customer receives and checks the product and proceeds to send the
> payment. We accept all forms of payment but most of our customers pay
using
> Bank Checks and so to solve this problem and prevent losing 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. Local money transfers
take
> but a few hours, so it will give us a possibility to get payments almost

>
>
> PAYMENT AND SALARY:
>
> Let's say for example you receive a check from one of our customers for
> 3000.00 USD, you deduct your commission (10%): 300.00 USD and then send us
> the remaining balance: 2700.00 USD. In the first month you will receive
> around 15-20 orders under 3,000.00 USD to process and after checking your
> performance records during that first month the orders you receive, may
> increase from 3,000.00 to 6,000.00 USD. For example 20 transactions each
> around 3000.00 USD gives you a total income of 6,000.00 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 (western union fees, bank commissions,)
> from our balance, not from your commissions.
>
>
> At first the checks you receive will vary from: $500.00 to $3,000.00. We
> will also send you a 1099 Form for tax deduction on your part. 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 a 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 for taking up another job;
> you can have a good stable income and a regular job. This however, is a
job
> which brings a lot of responsibility on the representative and you should
> understand that. We are only looking for an employee which satisfies all
of
> our requirements and will be an earnest assistant.
>
> We offer health insurance and the 401K retirement savings plan as well as

has

> You will receive next instructions step by step.

>
> WORKING HOURS

> This depends on how many checks you receive but it won't take more than
two

It is totally a scam. A company like Volvo would not have someone receive payments for them. Payments have to go through their accounting department, and this is not a job to actually work for an accounting department. It is a scammer trying to get your to launder funds for him.

You would receive money the scammer is stealing from other people, put it in your account then send the scammer some of it. Once the police were notified, you would be the only one who could actually be located. You would be the one to go to jail.

Just drop contact with this scammer. Don't tell him you know he is a scammer. Don't tell him about our site, just disappear.

Please post the email address this scammer is using so others can find your post when searching using the email address. You have a PM

No company receives or sends payments by Western Union. Please post the complete headers of the email and any website the scammer is using to pretend to be a company so that we can kill the domain.
