Is this offer a con?

Tiggyroo

Hey, I'm hoping somebody can help me. I've been searching for a job for a while now and have put my CV on lots of jobseekers websites. I got an email this morning offering me a job but I'm not sure if it's a con! I've missed out the start and end of the email as it gives the company's details. I've tried googling the name of the comapny but am not really getting much info. The whole idea of moving money around seems a bit shifty to me but dont want to ignore it if it's a genuine offer!

Why we need Funds Transfer Administrators

When buying-selling operations via the Internet are concerned, the buyer and the seller don’t know each other and are placed in different corners of the world. Therefore, it is important both to the buyer and the seller for their transaction to be made safely. Payment security means receiving money concerning the transaction by a reliable, experienced, impartial person - our Funds Transfer Administrator. He will hold all the money until all the terms of the deal are satisfied and only then release them to the intended receiver. Please, visit our web-site for more information.

Having a Funds Transfer Administrator in every country we can quickly transfer funds inside a country without wasting time on the international bank transfers, and continue our rapid growth rather than overwhelming our own bank account with inbound and outbound transactions leading to severe hold times and possible service interruption. It is time that is of significant importance to our clients.

The main task of the Funds Transfer Administrator will be receiving money transactions to any bank account he would like to use for the purposes of this job; and then forwarding these transactions to the next party of the process according to our instructions. Funds Transfer Administrator will be processing approximately 1-2 transactions per week.

I'd say it's a scam

Tiggyroo

Thanks, that's what I thought too but as I'd never heard of the job title before I wondered if I was just being daft

money laundering , payments are from stolen credit cards , PC plod will knock on your door down the line

Tiggyroo

That's exactly what I thought it might be, but I read lot's of crime novels so thought I might be seeing a crime where theres not one! Thanks

100% scam, no proper company will use your bank account. This sounds like a twist on the Nigerian money laundering one.

You could ring the director of the company directly and see if they know about this but I'd say scam too.
