All the hallmarks of a scam - it arrived unsolicited out of the blue, no job description, no indication of what the company actually does and dodgy grammar. And how many genuine job opportunities make a point of telling you that there's 'no investment of funds on your part'? They might as well just print 'This isn't a scam, honestly' and see if that's any more believable. Avoid!0

Yeah agree, just wondered if anyone had got more info on it as curious how the scam works and how they can get away with it, surely they'd get tracked down?Regards

At best, you're a mule, at worst you get fleeced. 100% scam. Obviously nobody gives jobs like that to unskilled 18 year olds.
Edit - you want to know how the scam works - look on scamwarners.com for plenty of examples.

Without telling you too much, you'll receive fraudulent transfers, and then launder the money by getting the cash and sending it via Western Union.
Is it near impossible to track them down - unless Interpol fancy chasing the wire transfers across Europe.0 -

Wow. Thanks, guys. I got an email from one Source Cloud Ltd company. The website looks legit and everything and they even had an address on it. When I looked up the address, I found out it was a residential area in kent. LOL. This is what their website looks like. sourcecloudltd dot net (lol sorry, they didn't let me post up a link)
I've asked for them to take me off their employee list. I'm happy I read this thread before I started receiving money from them. I'd hate to be involved in anything illegal.0 -
MSE is full of useful information. It is good that you investigated before applying.Who having known the diamond will concern himself with glass?
