mgpdata.com is a member of the Grafton-Riggs Money Laundering Association. This scam has been going on for years. The site is in the process of being reported for fraud.

http://jfgoldcrown.com/
Creation Date: 2012-05-08
is another exact copy.

As others have said, this is a money laundering scam. Old scam, new site.

Any time you see this or anything like it:

Payments Processing Officer

in a job offered online, you can be certain it is a scam.

Payment processing officer = money mule. The criminals want to forward stolen money into your bank account, then have you forward it on to them. This way, when the poor victim who was hacked or phished realizes that his bank account has been emptied or his credit card maxed out reports the crime, the trail will lead to you. The bank will come after you for receiving the stolen money and the criminals that you forwarded the money to will be long gone, using new names and new fake info.

(On occasion, they will want you to receive and cash checks or receive and forward moneygram or Western Union transfers, but ultimately this money wuld also come from victims of theft.)

VX's comment about Grafton Riggs refers to a certain gang of criminals who create these money laundering sites. Based on certain characteristics of the website, it is clear that it is the work of this particular group of criminals.

People with an international or multicultural background are welcome!

This is not a sentence you'll find in a genuine job advert.

The criminals are specifically targeting victims who may not be familiar with the UK job market and this type of scam.

It's quite despicable to see a racially targeted scam.

Anyone taking up this offer will, at the very least, lose their bank account and get blacklisted by banks with serious consequences as regards being able to get future employment or benefits.
