Greetings,
Your resume has been found at www.careerbuilder.com . Please let me
introduce our company and descibe the position.
Our company specializes on purchase and resale of products in such
spheres of industry as: Electronics, Chemical Products, Expensive
Construction Materials and Manufactured Goods. The market of our
activity includes the distributed networks consisting of the
international auctions as on the Internet and locally. Through our
networks we constantly receive new orders both for purchase and for
sale. At present we require Financial Agent Representatives of our
company in the countries where we conduct our business through our
networks.
Agent's work consists of receiving company's financial assets to the
agent's account and forwarding of funds according to our instructions.
It will be receiving payments for the items from our customers and
forwarding such payments to our representatives or to the seller
directly.
We have 2 reasons that made us start the hiring program of the
Financial Agent Representatives:
1. Due to elite position of services given by the Swiss banks and a
great demand for these services in the field of storage of financial
assets, Switzerland has very exacting and inconvenient rules and high
commission fees for bank transfer services. It is highly appreciated
for the purposes of safety of financial assets but it is very
inconvenient for conducting trading business.
Our Legal colleagues International Financial and Law Consulting House:
PriceWaterHouseCoopers suggested us to use as a variant of tax and
financial planning the following scheme: the Agency agreements with
representatives in the countries of business dealing for cooperation
on the basis of the commission rate.
2. As said above, our activity includes constant financial streams in
connection with conducting the international business transactions so
the second reason of starting our hiring program is the expediency of
acceptance of payments for our services to the bank accounts of our
Agents in the country of the buyer, then as a rule funds should be
forwarded to our other partners as payment for the services or in
order to purchase the necessary items. The given program helps us to
operate quickly with streams of funds and to send them in a direction
necessary for us avoiding HIGH COMMISSION FEES and LONG TIME TRANSFER
EXPENSES of the SWISS BANKS.
Also agent's assistance is required because if we had used
international bank transfer it could take more than 3-5 days, but if
the payment is sent to an account within the same country it takes no
more than a single business day.
Such scheme allows us to accelerate the whole payment process also
giving us an opportunity to ship the items to the customers faster
than any other competitive companies because speed and customers'
satisfaction are vital for our business.
Agent receives 5%% from the amount that has been successfully forwarded
to the receiver. The 5%% commission can be retrieved immediately after
the amount has been received by agent. Usually there are 2-3 payments
being sent during a week.
Cooperation in such form does not mean constant and regular
transactions through your bank account. The given action is directed
to find and check an executive, fair and responsible person for
further cooperation with our company. First of all we suggest a trial
period to become acquainted with us and the given kind of business.
The given scheme of cooperation is simple enough, and we are ready to
pay well for this work.
First month your income will be about $3,000, then it will be
increasing for about $500 each month up to $8,000 per month. There is
a trial period of time for you in our company (first 2 years). After
that you'll be offered a new position of Project Manager (salary
from $2,5k/week).
You do not need any special education or experience to be hired. But
please notice that only honest, responsible and punctual people are
required for this work. You will have to forward the funds you will
receive within 12 hours since the moment the funds are available for
withdrawing. Payment inquires and notifications will be sent before
each payment is sent and the payment is always sent only after agent's
readiness confirmation. If payment is delayed for more than 12
business hours the agent's commission will be cancelled and the funds
should be sent without any revenue for agent. If the payment is
delayed for more than 24 business hours the contract with agent will
be terminated also and if the payment is not sent within 48 business
hours police and authorities will be involved.
All the information provided to us will be used for our cooperation
only and will not be ever disclosed to 3rd parties or companies with
the exception of your account number (it will be sent to our customers
for issuing payments to it). You can either open new account or use an
existing one for receiving the payments.
If you are interested and wish to test your abilities in this
occupation feel free to send us an email to lewis.gftg@gmail.com and
we will send you the Application Form after that. Just fill the form
and send back to us. Don't be surprised to receive positive reply to
your application from us because we decline only those who have
unsettled debts or criminal records.
If you have any additional questions just drop an email to
lewis.gftg@gmail.com . Thanks for reading our proposal. We hope that
you are interested and we are looking forward hearing back from you.
Sincerely,
Eric Lewis

I also received one of these from my CareerBuilder account. I googled "The Geneva Financial Group" and went to the first page that came up and it was a very visually appealing site. I am unsure if the person e-mailing me is in any way affiliated with this company.
It smells like a scam for two reasons. First the fact that the reply address is a gmail account. If this is legit company wouldn't the company at least register a domain name? It only costs $10 a month and can be used with applications such as gmail.
Next, it is just a blanket e-mail. This tells me the organizations goal is numbers. To send out as many e-mails as possible and hope that someone will reply. Also there is no reference to my background or work experience. I have a degree in Computer Science so why should I consider doing a job "forwarding" money?
Lastly..It also appears that you will be "forwarding" money. That right there seems dodgy. You will probably be involved in some form of money laundering.
Either way..avoid this. It just smells fishy.
