Removed the company name and links, for PH naming policy.


Greetings,

You were interested in the Financial Services Officer position with (Naming and Shaming), but unfortunately I haven't heard from you in a while.

This is an on-line, home based position. There is no formal Interview process for this position and most of communication is done on-line. If you have any questions please feel free to call our HR department, the number is listed below.

For the most part what the job requires is for someone to be available Monday through Friday, 9 to 11 am. Your main job would be monitoring your on-line Task Manager, which you'll create on our site. Once the funds enter your account, your supervisor will notify you and assign you your tasks for the day. At this point you would go to your bank, withdraw the funds and transfer them using Western Union or Money Gram, as instructed by your supervisor.

In the beginning you will only receive 2 to 3 transactions per week. Every transaction is followed by an invoice with our company's seal. You would always be aware of where the funds are coming from and where they are being transferred to.

Make sure that you have read our FAQ: (Naming and Shaming link)

And here is the link to detailed job description: (Naming and Shaming Link)

Please let me know your decision within 2 business days for me to send you the required application forms for this position.

Limited Time Offer with a Sign On Bonus! Please follow the link: (Naming and Shaming Link)

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

It'll be hooky funds that arrive in your account and they will be reclaimed after you have sent the Western Union.

Smells fishier than a chip shop.

So you end up in trouble with the law? because your account becomes the front of their fraud?

There are hundreds of very similar results using different company names if you search Google for that first sentence. They are all variations of the same scam with some nonsense about sending them money via Western Union.

FFS ANY email which starts with the word "Greetings" is obviously a scam/spam.

Why people repost the contents of obvious scam emails on here I don't think I'll ever understand.

No, you'll end up out of pocket by however much you send them.
