    Judd Financial Services Pty Ltd
    82 Mulgoa Rd, Jamisontown,
    NSW, 2750, Australia.


    Hello,
    my name is Mark Miles and I am Judd Financial Services hiring manager. We have found and carefully reviewed your CV and decided to offer this job to you.

    Our services
    When buying-selling operations via the Internet are concerned, the buyer and the seller don't know each other (they may be placed in different corners of the world) - it is very important both to the buyer and the seller for their deal to be made safe. Payment Protection means receiving money, documents, goods (it might be both the seller's and the buyer's) concerning the transaction to a reliable, experienced, impartial person - our Payment Protection agent. The agent will hold all the documents and money until all the terms of the deal are satisfied and only then release them to the intended receiver.


    Why we need Payment Protection agents
    Having a Payment Protection agent in every country we can quickly transfer funds inside a country without wasting time on the international bank transfers, and continue our rapid growth rather than overwhelming our own bank account with inbound and outbound transactions leading to severe hold times and possible service interruption. It is time that is of significant importance to our clients.

    Career and Benefits
    Your main task will be receiving money transactions to any bank account you would like to use for the purposes of this job; and then forwarding these transactions to the next party of the Payment Protection process according to our instructions. You will benefit from the commissions, which are 5-7% of each transaction and depend on the quantity of the completed transactions and the speed of your work. Besides, you will be paid a basic salary of 1500 GBP per month.


    For your convenience there will be no paychecks, your commission will remain in your account after every successfully completed transaction. The money transfer fee is not included in your commission, meaning that you will deduct it from the received amount, not from your commission. Also you receive 5-7% of the transaction amount. Normally the amounts that we process vary from 2,000 GBP to 10,000 GBP, but can go higher on special occasions.

    Job details
    As the financial activity in your area is not too high, a Payment Protection agent will be processing approximately 1-2 transactions per week. Each transaction requires approximately 4-5 hours of the agent work. Our manager always calls the agent beforehand to provide all the instructions. Therefore, with the due time management, the agent is able to combine this job with other activities (e.g. primary job or studies).


    If you are ready to proceed, please reply to this e-mail and our hiring manager Paul Digby will contact you shortly.

    Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need more information.

    --
    Yours Sincerely,
    Mark Miles,
    Judd Financial Services.

    How do they make their money though? I take it the checks pass at first then when they're discovered as fake it's the poor sod that took up the offer that gets chased up for the cash?

    They have some poor sods bank account and want his money, they dont want a direct trace to themselves. They transfer the money from poor sods account to yours. You take out the money and transfer it via western union to an untracable location.
    Poor sods discovers his account has been hacked and repors the money as stolen, bank looks to you to replace the stolen money and they have the cash with no trace

    After a bit of Googling, I came across this. It's a contract they want you to sign when you enquire further...

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,447 ✭✭✭Glencarraig


    Ask them to send you their bank account details and password and tell them that you will withdraw the money yourself and pass it on.......less you commission of course !!!! Would be very surprised if you get a reply!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Ask them what exactly is on your CV. :pac::pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,124 ✭✭✭Amhran Nua


    Its a scam.
    Want to earn $3500 to $4000 a month, working from home, for an international online-offline money transfer service?
    Not if it is illegal, you don’t! So-called “company” Cash-Transfers Inc is recruiting money mules to be involved in illegal money laundering schemes.
    The unsolicited email purports to come from Cash-Transfers project coordinator Luke Maxwell who is recruiting five representatives to conduct financial transactions.
    The representatives can work from home and will be required to transfer money from clients to certain destinations. A commission of 2.5% is payable after transactions are completed. Bonuses are available quarterly. You also have the chance to be promoted to management positions within 3 to 6 months.
    This unsolicited email reads exactly like emails sent by Instant Cash, another money transfer scam. In fact they are the same, just the names and dates have been changed.
    Cash-Transfers also operates a slick website. Again, it’s a template website previously used by Instant Cash and others. You can check out our Instant Cash listing by clicking here.
    Money transfer schemes work like this. The money transferred into your bank account is often stolen from other people’s bank accounts via the Internet. Scammers use Trojan and key logging viruses to capture customer online banking details. They need Australian bank accounts to launder the money through. Once you receive the money, you take your cut and pass the rest to a pre-arranged overseas destination.
    There are laws against money laundering. There is a real possibility that you will be prosecuted. It is not worth the risk of prosecution and a criminal record.
    The United Kingdom’s banking industry website www.banksafeonline.org.uk/spotting_scams.html has an up-to-date list of other money mule scams.

    Hi, I received exactly the same job offer this morning from the said mr mark miles. I have recently posted my cv on a jobsite but this email struck me as a scam, so I googled the company details and found your post! I don't believe its legit - just another crook hoping to land on some niave desperate body in the market for a job in my opinion!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    Looks legit to me...


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,294 ✭✭✭positron


    I suppose the 419 scams are evolving!!

    I bet they would talk to you nicely first, and put a tenner to your account and get you transfer 8 quid to someone else (probably the next 'candidate' in their list). After a couple of transactions like this, they would get you to pay someone first, say a tenner, and then pay you with a bit more commission - say €15. This stage is called grooming. Later on they would ask you to make a larger payment to someone, and you will, because you are expecting 50% cut, and then that will the last you will ever hear from them.

    Nice idea though! Way better than the old 30,000,000,000 in account type emails.
