Dear VINEETH VIJAYAN,

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rebecca Drawnings and I represent Masterpiece Group LLC Company.

I've found your resume on-line and it appears that you have met our basic requirements for initial consideration, and would be a strong candidate to offer our final career positions.
Our company is well-known not only in the USA but all over the world. We deal mainly with the international Art market, bringing buyers together with sellers from all over the world.

Two to three hours a day performing your duties over the Internet is sufficient for this position.
There are no start-up or any other fees. The company covers all the fees related to the hiring process.

We provide one month paid training period, during which you will receive online training and support as well as a regular paycheck. A personal supervisor will guide your training. At the end of your training, the personal supervisor will decide whether or not to extend a permanent offer, based on your training results. So please be aware that our training is critical to your success!

Your starting salary will be $2,300 per month plus 8% commission deducted from each and every transaction during the training period. Total income, with our current volume of clients, will be about $4,500 per month. After the training period, base salary will be increased up to $3,000 per month plus 8% commission.

Given the present economy, our position offers training, support and a pay scale comparable to an entry-level position requiring 40 hours per week. I hope you will explore, compare, and then contact me with your questions.

Yours faithfully,

Rebecca Drawnings
Masterpiece Group LLC .

As you probably realise buffon this is a common scam.

The actual job offer is vague but the promise of riches is absurd for doing what appears, is very little work.

They are hiding what the real job will be, as they want to get you really excited about the money you'll earn, and not give you an opportunity to think about what you'll be doing. To be honest, anyone with a bank account will suit their purpose as the only intention is to steal your money.

You'll be sent cheques - counterfeit cheques - that they will say are sent by their customers, and that you should bank them and send 90% of the money to them by Western Union. Of course, this is illogical as their customers could have sent them the money by Western Union in the first place. :D

All they want you to do is convert their worthless fake cheques into cash, and send them the money. Not only do you lose money in this type of scam but you can get in to serious trouble with the police as you could be treated as the one trying to scam your bank.

Non-EU citizens should go here to find out about obtaining a visa to work as an au pair in the UK

Whenever payment is requested by Western Union you're dealing with a scammer
