I'm looking for a job so I went to craiglist.com and I found a job which the title was "junior accountant needed (city of san diego)", posting ID is 795355767. I sent my Resume to apply it and the guy, whose name is Tobi Pedro, sent me a long long mail to describe his organization and the accountant job.
He said their funding were by their American counterparts that sends to them the bunch of payments mostly in US Based mode of Payments (Money Orders and Check). So they need a collector/representative to help them recieve payments from this American counterparts, deduct 10% commission and have the rest funds sent upon insructions.
Here is the job specifics:
1. Collection of Donations / Payments
2. Cashing of Donations / Payments
3. Deduction of commission 10% per donation/payment received
4. Sending cashed donation/payments to the institute following Our Instruction.
5. Keeping Record of each donation / payment received and sent
After that, he also asked me to provide my personal information like name, phone number, address, age, or nation of origion. I was wondering why he needed this information because I had put it in my resume, but I still provided to him. Plus, I mentioned that I won't be able to work in US because I have to wait until my OPT effect, which will be after December.
He replied me and said congratulations, you have been accepted and welcome to our organization. We have verified all the informations you provided and I see that you are clean. I mean, how do you know about it only by name and address? I even don't have SSN because I'm an international student here. In this mail, he didn't answer me any one question that I asked in previous mail and just say congratulation and tell me how to do the "work".
He said that I'll handle the company's transactions and I am not (under no
circumstance) allowed to disclose any of the Organisation's transactions to
anyone for security reasons. Failure to comply to these simple rules could lead to an automatic termination of your appointment.
After this, he said that he will email me with the fedex tracking # of the check, I must follow the instructions below:
1. Receive payment from our Customers or Clients.
2. Cash Payment at your Bank or any cashing facilities near you.
3. Deduct 10 % which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed
4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send payment.
I think it might be a scam so please help me find out if it is a scam or I misunderstand it. Thank you.
