Found this today...

We have found your cv at Monster and we would like to offer you a job. It is a part-time job that consists of receiving payments from customers (through bank transfers) and then making further payments to our main office or to one of our regional affiliated departments, depending on the customer's location.

Your commission as an agent is 6% of each transaction. For example, if you receive 2000 pounds to your bank account, you will withdraw the money and keep 120 pounds for yourself. The salary is commission based only and you will earn approximately 12000 pounds per year. The hours for this work are flexible and can be combined with any permanent or other part-time job, with an average workload of up to 10 hours a week. All additional money transfer fees and money transfer-related charges are covered and paid for by our company. Therefore you will only be responsible for making the proper payments in time (within 48 hrs of successful receipt into your account). Each transaction will be transferred only after prior notification, which will sometimes be a notification by phone call. Please note that you can work from home but this job cannot be done online, you need physically withdraw/send money from nearest branches.

Our company's principal business is based on a peer-to-peer type payment network, this business model heavily employs all the latest internet technologies. We are one of only a few companies that use regional representatives in its business operations. This avoids high foreign taxation and cross-board acquisition fees. If you are interested in our offer, please feel free to ask for details of the general provisions of the contract.

Best regards,

If it ain't a scam you are being asked to launder money and accept the legal implications that go with that

A common scam is where they send you a cheque and you send money onwards only to find that the cheque bounces.

I usually get between 3 and 6 of these exact emails a day, along with countless other scams (I have about 20 email addresses all going in to one Outlook account).

They are another example of advance fee fraud. Just like the Nigerian 411 frauds, and the "You've won the lottery" ones.

(within 48 hrs of successful receipt into your account).

Cheques take longer than this to clear.

It's more likely to be online transfer from compromised Internet Banking accounts though.
