  • SCAM.
    Clues:
    Poor English
    High rate of pay without any questions as to your suitablity
    We dont use the word resume in the UK.
    Why would a respectable company run its finances in this way, via a random guy off the net?

    Probably you would be required to receive these 'commission payments' into your bank account and pay them to Finconsult less your commission. Possibly months after you had made the payments your bank would come back to you to say the payments had bounced or that they were forged cheques, leaving you massively out of pocket.

    Gertie is correct - you receive fake/counterfeit cheques to pay into your bank account. They appear to clear after 2 or 3 days, and you send the money less your commission via Western Union to the scammer(s). Then your bank tells you the cheques have been returned unpaid, and debits you account for the value of the cheques.
    "You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"
  • Yeah, I received an almost similar message as well... Slight variations but more or less the same..

    Gertie and Maninthestreet are both correct. I've heard of such scams and they take ages before these bounced payments come back on you...

    Stay well clear!!:cool:

    The other possibility, if the cheques don't bounce is that you will have been helping unsavoury characters launder money, and will likely end up getting arrested and potentially facing charges. I'm sure I read something on the news not so long ago about a woman getting court up in a scam like this and being convicted.

  • Hi,

    I have litetally just registered as I got the same e-mail.

    I googled the company name and it brought me here, thanks.

    Not that i had any intention of replying to it, but its good to know that it is a scam like I thought.

    So annoying :mad:
  • :beer: thanks for this, i am looking for work as i am unemployed and these people are the lowest of the low preying on people that are desperate for work
  • Hi I just got the same email saying they had found my CV on totaljobs.com - I had a feeling it was fake as their was nothing about the job, tried searching for it on the job website and then emailed the website to let them know about this fake.

    Thanks for everyones help here! :)
  • I too have received the same e-mail this morning!:( Thought it sounded just a bit too good to be true, then I noticed that when you hit the 'reply' button on your e-mail, the e-mail address you are replying to is a 'gmail' address, which anyone can set up for free:exclamati Thanks :T to all your postings on here, it confirmed what I already thought was a rather dubious job offer! Extremely frustrating to all us genuine job-seekers out there!:mad: I too will be passing the details onto the totaljobs website.

    Dear Sunny Mountain, :mad:

    Can I please point out that most of us who are registered with Totaljobs are looking for a 'PROPER JOB'. Unfortunately some low-life has been able to procure our details from totaljobs. I have contacted Customer Support at Totaljobs and forwarded a copy of the e-mail I received from Finconsult.

    I would happily take a 'PROPER JOB' just now if I were able to secure one!

    Regards

    Wee Tabm
