in the vacancy description link its clearly screaming money laundering.
Anyone who falls for this would be naive. Why would a company who doesn't know anything about you,deposit thousands of pounds into your account,hoping that you will be honest and transfer it via western union or paypal.

Yanktank, you are correct, this is a standard money mule/money laundering setup. Unfortunately there are some naive or unsuspecting people who do fall for the setup. Elderly people are the most common target, as they are often on fixed/low incomes, and the prospect of a job which requires little in the way of legwork is appealing.

On another note, I would discourage you from responding to scammers using your personal email address. If you want to reply to them, I recommend that you visit our sister site, http://www.419eater.com to learn how to do so safely.

eta: Thanks for posting the scammer's email. It'll help warn potential victims. :)

Great thank you for that link. I will be using it in the future.

For some reason (I assume because my CV is on a few job search websites) I get quite a lot of them.
Had someone else offer me a "role" of ebay specialist. He wanted me to set up my own ebay account and paypal account,then would email me a picture of the item along with a description. He then wanted me list the item,then when the auction ends,send him the money and he will then "send off the item" to the customer.
Obviously this is waving red flags all of the place. On average I usually get about 1-2 times a week from different people. Its concerning because, as you said there are elderly people who are more likely to fall victim to it.

My Bull guard blocked the websites they have set up and provided links to. Offering to pay 8% commision in the initial email then having asked for more info they declare you have to pay them 8%. lmao

Obviously a scam and their sites may possibly be set up to infect visitors.
AVOID clicking the links!
