Is this legal??? ATC Group

Lmnover

Hi
I recently replied to a newspaper add and received the following email, it sounds too good to be true and i just wondered whether it sounds legal - or is it a scam that someone has heard of already?

Email is as follows:

Hello, thank you for your interest and desire to learn more about position offered to you by our company, The ATC Group. Nowadays, internet makes it possible for people
to communicate on a whole new level. We are proud to offer you a great position where you will be able to make a decent amount of money in a short period of time doing almost nothing
working basically online! We are seeking for volunteers in Ireland who are able to provide us with their help. Please take couple minutes to learn more about position. And
always remember that - you can do anything in this world, and this is your chance to get your hands on this great opportunity that we offer to you. This great opportunity will change
your life, you've never been offered anything like this before!
-=Job Description=-
Position Type/Name: Fund Operator/Processor
Classification: Part Time (non-contract)
Salary: 900+ Euros per week, just in your pocket! And this is real.
As a Fund Operator your duties will be:
1. Receiving funds in your nominated bank account.
2. Receiving instructions by e-mail.
3. Completing transaction by instructions.
Simple as that!
The ATC pioneered specialized financial recruitment and today is one of the most leading worldwide groups. We specialize in placing professionals/students/graduates on a
full-time/part-time basis in a variety of areas, including accounting, finance, bookkeeping, fund operator/processor, payroll, credit & collections, audit and taxation.
Here is an example of full description of your duty, (You will receive instructions at every stage, from steps 1-5).:
1. You receive 4000 Euros from us into your nominated bank account.
2. You go to the bank and withdraw 90%, and leave 10% for yourself.
3. You go to Western Union and send 90% of the amount to one of our agents. Note that Western Union fee comes out of 90%! You
don't spend your 10% to pay for any fees.
4. You send us an email with a report of the transaction.
5. As soon as we receive the report, you are given your next transaction the very next day!
Outcome: You earned 10% from 4000 Euros, which is 400 Euros, and that was just one transaction. Not bad at all, right?
You might ask yourself why are you receiving money and from who and why are you sending them via Western Union. Here is an explanation:
In order for us to sell a product we have to have a final recipient of a payment, and if we are going to receive payments for products sold - we will have to pay 15% of tax as a
company, and since you are an individual - we only have to pay 2%. As you can see, taxation loop between Ireland and Switzerland gives us opportunity to provide you with business
and earn you some money while reducing taxation rate for ourselves, and it is way more beneficial if we would choose to receive payments directly as a company. So we really appreciate
your consideration and we need your help as you can see.
F.A.Q.
1. How many times a week do i have to complete transactions?
It is one transaction a day, 5 times a week, Monday-Friday.
2. What is the average amount of transaction?
The average amount is 4000 Euros, so you will be making approx 400 Euros a day off one transaction, and we are very excited to provide people with this great opportunity, so that they
can better their lives.
3. Do i need to sign any contract in order to get started?
No, you do not need to sign any contracts, we designed this position to be it as simple as possible, and all you have to have is internet connection to communicate with our
representatives who will assist you with sending instructions to you and give you any help on how to complete transactions.
4. Can i stop/continue working if i want?
Yes, you absolutely can stop and continue working, or simply just stop if needed. But please give us a 4 day note prior to change your decision, so there won't be any complication.
5. What if i did not complete transaction in time?
It is very important for us to complete transactions in time, so please make sure you will be able to handle this, before you start, make sure you will have couple hours a day
Monday-Friday, preferably mornings. But if sometime you are late - it is fine, we are not going to fire you, just make sure you will do your best and there won't be any delays. And
keep in mind if you do transactions perfect with no delays or excuses - we will provide you with higher amounts!
6. Who pays for Western Union fee?
Western Union fee comes out of 90%, and you do not spend your own money, not even 10% you earned.
7. Can i use any other money transfer company or any other method to complete transactions?
No, you cannot use any other company, except Western Union, please make sure to not use any other companies, because you will have to take money back if you used a wrong company, and
it will cause delay and money loss due to fees and companies policies. Another thing is you cannot use Western Union online service due to limits, all transactions are done from
Western Union branch/office which can be found at Western Union website (www.westernunion.com), choose your country and click "Find Agent".

Wow. Money for nothing. It's a scam. Run a mile.

in my experience if it looks too good to be true and they ask for your bank account details AND withdrawal limit then it more than likely is.

Tom Young

For GODS sake!

It's a scam, look at the data they are asking you for! Your bank account number etc.

No it's not legal, its called fraud.

Did you need to ask?
