How are you doing today and hope all is well . Would you like to work online from home and get paid weekly without leaving OR affecting your present Job ?.
The ARTLINKS ARTS & CRAFTS needs a book-keeper in the United States, so I
want to know if you would like to work online from home and get paid weekly
without leaving or affecting your present job?
The company presently run an Arts Galleria in the UK and we need someone to work for the company as a representative/book keeper in the United States.
Thecompany deals in the sales of Art and Craft works, sculptures and
carvings, antique artifacts and produces various fabrics materials & Traditional
batiks, assorted fabrics and various traditional costumes from all over the
world and we have clients we supply weekly in the United States. Our clients
make payments for our supplies every week in form of U.S. Money Order which
are not readily cashable outside the United States, so we need someone in
the United States to work as our representative and assist us in processing
the payments from our clients and he/she would be paid a weekly salary.
NOTE: ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS RECEIVE THIS PAYMENTS FROM OUR CLIENTS ON BEHALF OF OUR COMPANY IN THE UNITED STATES, GET IT CASHED IMMIDIATLY WITHOUT DEPOSITION THEN DEDUCT YOUR WEEKLY PAY AND FOWARD THE BALANCE TO THE COMPANY DOWN HERE VIA WESTERN UNION/MONEY GRAM MONEY TRANSFER.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you get them cashed
in your bank deduct your weekly salary and foward the balance to the
company via Western Union/MoneyGram money transfer Services. Basically what the Company is searching for is a Representative/Book-keeper in the States who would
help to establish a medium of getting our funds from our customers there.
If you are interested in working with us we would be very glad as inability to
get our Payment in cash has posed a big problem and has affected account
reconciliation and turn over grossly.
These are legitimate transactions between our customers and our company
Representative and there is no legal risk as these are payments for
goods already bought and delievered. We are offering 10% of whatever amount
it is that you cash per week as salary and subject to your satisfaction you
will be given the oppurtunity to negotiate the mode by which we will pay for
your services as our official Representative/Book-keeper in theStates.
The mode we would prefer would be instant deduction of your salary from
the Amount before going ahead to send whatever is left back via Western
Union OR MoneyGram Money Transfer.
We are aware that you would be charged to have the money sent, whatever
thatwould amount to is to be deducted from the balance of the funds after
you must have deducted your salary.

3.) FULL HOME ADDRESS WITH CITY & ZIPCODE

This was on Oprah this week and IS DEFINITELY a scam. You deposit the check, and wire the money, the check then clears and bounces within 30 days and YOU are out the money.
I have something that is not a scam. I'm involved in it and have already received money back. Please take a minute to look it over.

No, no, a thousand times no!!!!
They are asking you to deposit a check in your bank, send some back to them while you "keep" the balance as a salary.
What you will find is that the check is no good. Your bank will give you the money and, when the check ends up no good, you will be on the hook for the whole amount given to you, and be required to return it to the bank.
Consider this too: why would any legitimate business have problems with banking? Why would a legitimate business need to send a check to you and have you deposit it, subtract your pay and send the rest back?

No its not legit. One way to start is to consult Dun & Bradstreet, and I checked, their name never appears on any United Kingdom business. Also, for collections the standard is 30%, not 10%.
