Hello!

Thank you very much for sending the application form. I have just discussed your candidacy with my management and we believe that you are suitable candidate for the Regional Representative position. I attach the contractor agreement for your serious consideration.

Please notice that this agreement is universal and works for both part time and full time. You will fix the preferable working schedule together with your supervisor before the start date.

When you decide to accept this offer, follow this simple instruction.

1. Print it out.
2. On the 1st page, write out the current date in words and write your full name.
3. On the 2nd page, fill out a form (full name, postal address) and sign.
4. Scan both pages onto your computer.
5. Send it to me by email (do not fax, because only high quality digital image will be accepted).
6. Make an additional copy of the agreement for your retention.

I hope that you accept this offer very soon!

Sorry I also meant to say their offices are in the Netherlands and they offer Villa holidays in France, Italy and Greece. Below is a article about the leaders.

I would appreciate if you could look into this and let me know if this is a scam company.

Regards
LM



Leaders


Benci Papp, CEO

Mr. Papp has been the CEO since he founded the company 4 years ago. He has taken his start-up – which originally listed just 10 properties, had no employees and was located in his apartment – and turned it into one of the best villa rental comapnies in Europe. His vision and success have made him one of the most respected specialists in Europe.


Hans Fischer, CFO

Mr. Fisher has been a Director of Monde Villas since November 2009 and was initially responsible for the implementation of structural and procedural changes to improve company efficiency.

Welcome to Scamwarners Liza-Mari.

I'm sorry to say that it looks like this scam

http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16566

Our site killers took down the fake site but the scammers have just set up another one.

The intention will be to feed you counterfeit cheques and get you to bank them, converting them into cash to send them by Western Union, thereby stealing money from you and getting you into serious trouble with your bank.

The chances of you getting a job like this by e-mail contact only is negligible.

There is no such thing as a job receiving cheques for another company, and any company that receives money by Western Union is not a company but a scammer. Of course, this detail is hidden from you at this stage as they want you hooked first.

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

Hi Liza-Mari,

I'm a little short on time at the moment so forgive me my short reply; This is most definately a scam. Compare these two sites: http://www.villameister.com/ and http://www.mondevillas.com/

They're clones, created by the same scammers and using exactly the same tactics. villameister.com was reported in another thread (Gomerpyle already linked to it in his post)

Both sites are just a few weeks old and are used in a job scam. I'll make sure the sites get reported and taken offline, hopefully as soon as possible.

Thank you so much guys - I would appreciate if you could remove them before someone else gets reeled in.

Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately Liza-Mari closing one fake website won't stop them, and they don't always start out with a detailed plan, but their intention is always dishonesty and theft. I don't expect they'll drop this tactic and the potential for creating misery for people is immense, even if they don't achieve their aim and, whether justified or not, the bank will always make the victim pay.

Scammers will sit in an internet cafe all day giving potential victims tasks to perform in the hope that it gives them the chance to exploit the situations they create. Documents, contacts and account details are all things they value and that can be used in other scams. The web is already filled with fraudulent ads posted by these people, and having access to a local based company and account would add a credibilty they don't have at present - but that makes the victim falling for it their 'stooge' who passes on money to them and takes the rap.
