    Sounds dodgy allright, i remember when i was job hunting i received an email from a similar company. They got my details through Monster and it was 15% comission and to send the remaining fund to their branches in Neverland

    Don't fall for it

    Sounds a little dodgy to me too. Personally, i wouldn't go near it.

    Are they advertising a salary or is it just comission? If there's no salary i certainly wouldn't go near it!

    THey do say that there is a weekly salary plus the 10% comm. Sounds way too easy to be genuine :-)

    It draft fraud


    U'll get money, either in fake bank drafts or from stolen paypal or credit cards or phished bank accounts.

    U transfer money - your commission to them, which basically launders the money.

    Within 3 to 5 weeks, you'll be arrrested by cops investigating fraud, as it's your bank a/c that the money went to.
