Not sure, seems like a scam

This was unsolicited. I did not ask for any information about their company and I definitely didn‘t apply for any job with them. I am sure they are using the same source that the scammers and I doubt they are legit. If it sounds too good to be true then it is a scam.

It's as fake as a three dollar note with the head of Donald Duck on it.

I'm not sure about the website. That may be real with the scammers pretending it's theirs.

The job requirements are tough

1) 18 years or older
2) Legally capable
3) Responsible
4) Ready to work 3-4 hours per week
5) With PC knowledge
6) E-mail and Internet experience (minimal)

My parrot qualifies.

They should say - "if you have a bank account we can scam - you got the job".

If you are going to be receiving MONEY - maybe they'd have a concern that you aren't a crook, but why should they care ? The only money involved is the money they'll scam out of you when the cheques bounce.

The website looks genuine. The scammer is just pretending to be them. This is a job that doesn't exist and if you ring the number on the company website they'll tell you that. International companies don't collect money using people collecting cheques at home. If they did the world would be in an even worse mess that it is already.

Your job will be to receive payment sent to us, deduct your weekly salary (10%
of the money) and forward the balance to us or any of our various branches as
you are instructed to do.

That makes it a scam. The checks will be fake, but you'll only find out once you've forwarded 90% to the scammers via Western Union. In a global economy, businesses have no difficulty in being paid by foreign customers.
This particular scam often uses the identity of a genuine business. What email address does it ask you to reply to? I'd expect a free one such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc.

It most certainly is a scam. Good work on spotting it.

What would happen is that the "payments" you receive would be fraudulent checks, either stolen or counterfeited, or drawn on non-existent bank accounts. Your bank would make the funds available in a few days, you would send most of the money by Western Union to the scammer, and then weeks or months later the bank will determine the check was bad, and all the money will be taken out of your account. You might even find yourself answering some uncomfortable questions from law enforcement.

No company doing business internationally would have problems accepting payment from customers anywhere in the world. If checks are a problem, there's bank-to-bank transfer, which is a common method of payment in international business. Also, many companies request the checks to be sent directly to their bank, which should have no problem handling them.

A "payment representative" job offer is always a scam.

Here is the return path and reply to.

Crafty! "Tuner" not "Turner".
An email to it bounces though. Probably closed for scamming.

Definitely a scam. They must read this because they changed the address to show @daviesturner.com now, but with some research the company has an e-mail extension of "@daviesturner.co.uk" This one actually had me going for a while, but the BCC always shows the true scam in an e-mail. If they send it directly, it would be more convincing. Thanks everyone for posts and making it easy to catch on to these crooks.
