Is this a scam or real job?

Sounds like the "payment processor" scam. They transfer funds to your account (probably from phished accounts) and ask you to send it on to them, usually by Western Union etc.
Ignore the rubbish about them emptying your account, nobody can empty your account just by having your bank details. If they could cheques would never have existed. You give your full account details every time you write a cheque or use your debit card. They're probably after filling your account not emptying it!0 -
Just had the email from these guys!! Been on several job sites too!! and now getting several of these emails!!
I don't want junk mail, i'd just like to have a job!!0 -

Is it a con or a real job?:A
YES its a scam.The request for the bank account details is a clue.
The fact that they emphasis the fact in their job requirements in order to recieve funds is the alarm bell.
The address on Google maps shows a company called New Gen .
The attempt is a joke.There are loads of them

Just received the emails from this group and the "job offer" documents. After searching the web to see if this is a legitimate company, I found this forum and this thread. I went back to the original email and noticed that the email was sent from yahoo.com. I have no idea if this is a scam or not, but a company that is offering such high wages for no experience should be able to afford its own domain and email accounts. They should not have to use yahoo.com. This really smells like an elaborate scam designed to clear out bank accounts of people who are just looking to get a job.0

Dear readers,i am from The Netherlands, i registered same as who starts this discussion in some job sites in the uk.
One and a half week ago i recieved email from Wagner business to apply for further details, i sended them one email back with some questions.
Normally someone need to read them, but they did not, behalf of answering my questions i recieved 1 application form and 2 information about the salary, exactly as what the starter from this discussion showed, this is really scam and why?here is my reason,
1: jobsite warn to provide bank account information.
2: at last they can answer desently the question what not happend.
3: they have as written several locations in the UK to established but still busy with settling in ther locations.
4: providing 300 pounds for 10 days training,so they invest in someone they do not know, but after the training you will meed face to face with the manager, in this crisis time i can not believe a company investing something without knowing in what.
5: No phone number, how it can be a proofed leading business for years if customers not can reach them by phone?
I really advice to someone to not try apply to them request, also not with the filisofic hope that there is a chance that this is real.
Do not fool your self to lissen others for trying to apply and see what happen.
Better to not earn money then losing it.
Best regards,

Maybe you are 1 of them, why putting people in wrong path???
About Ignorring the Rubbish about emptying your account!!!!
There are several webpages (ebay Look a like) in The Netherlands where you can buy or advertise only by giving your full description with providing bank name, account number, full adres detail, when they take the money from your bank they will directly send the package, when the bank information is wrong or you not have money enough in your account, they will mail you a notification that they not could take the money and that the request will be deleted.
But when it did happen, you will noticed it maybe after a week, and th package whas maybe already recieved.
So people can use your bank account if they having full information!
Best regards,

I have also received an e-mail from Wagner Business Group offering me details of a vacancy for a Financial Controller. I have got the additional information and application form and I thought it smelt wrong, particularly as they were asking for banbk details, etc.
Thank goodness I haven't sent them anything as I looked up this forum on the net first!
Thanks everyone who posted
By the way the e-mail I received came from someone called Maria K Foster, HR Manager0 -
I haven't finished reading all the replies yet but, quite apart from requesting bank details, this is obviously a scam just from reading the first couple of paragraphs. The grammar and spelling is atrocious! Marginally better than the English in those "Please help me, I need a British bank account to deposit my 20 billion Nigerian Dollars (or whatever) into" emails but still atrocious!:rotfl:Don’t try to keep up with the Jones’s. They are broke!0

any job advert / email that basically says:
Please take loads of money for little or not effort, with little or no skills and no real clue of what is involved with the pretend job = SCAM0 -
