New Income

Neil_Creedy

I have today been offered a job via e-mail from a firm in Austrailia called Rams International. They want me to act as a payment protection agent in my area in the UK. Basically I will hold money in an account of my choosing untill a desired time from a buyer and will then once goods have been received will release that money to the seller. They will pay me £1500 per month plus a commission fee for each transaction. I have looked on thier website and they are a merchant bank set up in Australia. There is a board of directors etc. I asked for more information from them which they have sent. This is the terms and conditions and the agreement. The only constraints I can see are that if you do not deal with the transactions in a speedy time then you will lose your commission. They exepct only 1-2 transactions per week and each one should take no more than 1-2 hours. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this and any info would be helpful.

I have recently been made redundant and although I will now be working it will be at a much lesser rate than I was earning so I am looking to do this as well as a supplement to my income. I will be using my bank account but it will be an account I do not use anymore, one that does not have any of my wages or direct debits attached to it. Many thanks

Give this opportunity a very wide berth. Your unlikely to get £1500 a month or your commission. But will probaly get loads of hassle from your bank, and a visit from your local fraud squad.

I trust you havent given them your bank details and contact number already.

Rams is a legitimate bank in Australia and is a very trusted institution.

HOWEVER.

Whoever is emailing you is NOT Rams. Rams does not send out emails randomly offering you money. This is very similar to AlertPay / Paypal scams.

Why would they approach you and offer you this job without knowing anything about you? This is money laundering.

If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Someone emails you out of the blue and without any references etc they offer you a job which involved money.

hmm, fishy !! !! !!

They would be looking for people to hold money for them in legitimate bank accounts as part of a worldwide money laundering fraud.

Just because they say they are from a company that is legitimate doesn't mean they are from that company.

I looked into this whilst living in spain as it is world wide.
Do not touch with a barge pole it is money laundering.

so £6000 a month for 6 hours work doesnt sound like a scam to you?

Classic scam - the money appears in your account, you pay it out as instructed and months later you find that the money paid into your account has bounced, leaving you minus the money you paid out. www.491eater.com has loads of info on this type of thing.

stay away - better still send some of that money my way
