Im just wondering why you ask, have you been contacted about a job?

samcol13

yes I have, it seems like a strange one.....

I've been contacted by someone on behalf of them as well! I came across this thread when I was researching the company. Sounded good until I read the bit about opening and operating bank accounts, alarm bells rung then!

yeah, it does sound strange, ive been asked to send scanned copies of drivers lic and passport and fill in all my details on an application form, which i am reluctant to do, the website looks ok though?

In the same boat here. My offer came via TotalJobs so it appears to have some provenance but will wait to see if totaljobs can confirm that they have used the agency before. Would like it to be true but......

I have been looking everywhere for the website firm as they have send me an application form for this workplace.
Do you know if anyone could help me find the webpage or the website?

This is almost definitely a scam, guys. I did a lot of digging around over the last couple of days, and not only does the phone number not seem to exist but the website was created very recently, which is a red flag in itself. Plus, it's hosted in America rather than Japan, which may not mean anything on its own but just adds to the pile at this point. Plus, what job application needs a scan of your passport at the initial stage? AND, what company pays a beginner £1200-£3000 a month to process payments?

The recruitment agency (hjrecruitmentagency.co.uk) seems to be a part of this scam, since nowhere can you actually contact them (if you try you're led to an error page) or actually upload your cv.

SCAMSCAMSCAM. Stay away and warn your friends, etc etc etc.

If you're asked to process payments using multiple bank accounts it could well be money laundering, with some very unsavoury characters involved so I'd steer clear.

Of course, it could be totally legitimate, but I know what my money would be on!

Keep us posted please.

It is obviously money laundering. You are in danger of committing fraud and losing your own money.

They are emailing people who have joined up to Totaljobs and/or Jobsite. I have had a lot of scam emails and rubbish since joining them, not sure which it is mainly coming from.
