I posted my resume on careerbuilder yesterday and so far have gotten two emails from different companies with similar offers:
MedStart Inc. is a United Kingdom based company selling medical goods. We have reached high sales volume of pharmaceutical products in UK and also, in other European countries and we are now trying to penetrate in the U.S. market. Unfortunately, we are facing new difficulties regarding taxes. The international money transfer tax for legal entities (businesses) in UK is 30%, whereas for the individual, it is only 6%. That's why our company is looking forward to hiring agents to receive payments for our products and to resend the money to us. This way we will save money due to the tax decrease.
JOB DESCRIPTION
Agent's work consists in receiving payment from customers (Wells Fargo bank transfer or direct deposit) and making further payments to our main office or to one of our regional affiliate departments, depending on the customer's location.
Being a part-time job, it should not take more than 2 hours per day. Agent's commission is 6% from each transaction (for instance: you receive $1500.00 to your bank account, you will withdraw the money and keep 6% as payment for your service). All further money transfer charges and fees are covered by our company. So you will be responsible just for making proper payments in time. Each transaction will be made only after prior notification by phone call or e-mail.
Just sounds pretty odd to me. The other offer was pretty much the same thing only their reason was "because of various banking and legal restrictions, we are unable to open commercial bank accounts in every state." I don't plan on looking into these offers, but rather reporting them if something isn't right here.
