How do I investigate this wierd employment offer?

OK... Here is the situation... I just posted my resume on monster.com and about a day after posting I recieve an email from a guy in India who wants me to be a financial representative who processes payments for them from customers. I do not have full disclosure about how I recieve payment. However, (via email, only because I requested a call and the guy had such a thick Indian accent I could not understand him) I asked if I was required to use my personal accounts to process payment. His response was that I would use my account to process payment and forward the other 90% to the company. Now, I am not sure if I will be mailing cash, or transferring funds or what. I have not given them any personal info beyond what you would give as an applicant for employment. I did not give them my SS# or driver's license. The compnsation seems more than reasonable, and I went to the website of the company. It seems legit. What do you make of this?

I guess I am just concerned that it could be a scam to rob me... Or some illegal activity I do not want to be a part of like laundering money for terrorists or something. Your candid counsel is appreciated.

Yes this is a scam. A popular one.


The "check" they send you will bounce. The bank will deposit the funds into your account before they try to cash it, so once you think you have the money and withdraw the money to send to the person, your account you will be out that money because the check will bounce

The bank will then have you pay them back.

This is a scam, do not do

Everything sounds legit simply because thats the idea...would you believe a scam if it were obvious?
Don't be fooled, this is not how respectable businesses do business. They'd give you a company credit card account or something like that before they'd have you use your own account--beware! Just as the guy above said, they'll scam you somewhere along the line and you'll be stuck like the little dutch boy with his finger in the dam! Think of how you'll explain yourself to the government when you've been found to aid terrorism---your bank is required to provide them with information against you........THAT is NOT worth the risk!
