When a buyer in United States decides to purchase an item through an online auction from our sellers he has the following payment options: pay pal, international wire transfer, international check, or local wire transfer. The quickest option of these is local wire transferring. Local wire transfers are the option that the sales support representative will provide to the clients.

Along with the payments received from buyers you will be receiving details for these sales. These details will include items sold, price, and buyer's information. You are to file and maintain these purchasing records and transactions.

All fees are covered by the company. The fees for transferring are simply deducted from the payments received. No client will contact you during initial stage of the trial period.

It's a Company Representative Cheque scam.

Ignore the crap about $2,000 a month salaries - that is just to make the job look authentic.

Basically you will be sent a fake cheque, told to cash it and keep 10% as your commission and then send the balance to someone by Western Union.

The cheque will eventuallty be discovered to be fake (possibly weeks later) and the money debited from your acount. Leaving you down the money you sent by WU.

To add to what B8er said, there is no such thing as a job to cash payments and wire them to someone else. Any company can cash a check at no cost, and no sane person would offer 10% of gross sales for a trivial service like that.

Even if there were such a job for a legitimate company (and there isn't), it would still be a very risky thing to do because you would bear the sole responsibility for bad checks. Whenever you see the words "Cash Checks" and "Western Union" together, you can bet it's a scam.

Well done for being suspicious and checking it out. Very Happy

Job lads formats are pretty standard. The company name just changes. For some reason, fake check lads just love textile companies.

If you are interested in having a go at baiting check lads - and I can thoroughly recommend it - then this is essential Eater reading...
