Legal Question in Business Law in Ohio
Does this sound legitimate to you? I received this email through CareerBuilder.com.
Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Sandra P Davis and I am the
International Human Resource Manager of Collector Solution LTD I am pleased
to inform you that we have an open position for you within our company.
Below you will find a short history of our company; please give me a bit of
your time and allow me to present it to you.
COMPANY DETAILS
Our Company was founded in 2004 in the United Kingdom; Collector Solution
LTD is one of the largest equipment selling companies in Europe and our
customers are various businesses, hospitals, groups and individuals. The
Collector Solution LTD is a renowned and trusted symbol of dependability.
Naturally, you have great expectations regarding your career and that means
you will need plenty of room - to grow, to explore your potential and to
realize your goals. Collector Solution LTD needs a responsible, honest, self
motivated and reliable individual to work for the company as our
Representative in USA for our newly opened market. This is in view of us not
having an office presently in the USA but accepting orders from our American
customers. You don't need to have an office and this certainly will not
disturb any form of work you have going at the moment.
JOB DESCRIPTION, TERMS AND CONDITIONS
- No fees needed to get this job.
- No one at Collector Solution LTD will ask for your sensitive info.
- You are not involved in any sales.
- Everything is legal under EU/USA and International laws.
Your tasks are:
1. Receive payment from our customers. All check will be write in your name.
All checks are US checks, no international.
2. Cashing the checks at your existing bank account.
3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on each payment processed.
4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices
you will be contacted to send payment to. (Payment is to be forwarded by
Western Union Money Transfer).
You will receive 10% for every check processed in the first month. Within
one month after receiving the first check you will get an extra $1,000 if
you will manage to cash checks in a timely manner, also this bonus includes
internet bill, phone bill, gas/bus tickets. We will support all bills you
have to pay for your internet and cell phone. PLEASE NOTE: This bonus will
apply after one month starting the day you will receive the first check.
After two months of working with us, a secondary bonus will apply. You will
get 15% from all our sales. If everything works as we will expect and it
will, you will be able to do up to $1200 - $1300 per week + the bonus of
$1,000 every month.
Bonuses regarding cashing checks are as follow:
a) Cash the check same day and you will receive a bonus of $150 for each
check cashed.
b) Cash the check within 24 hours and you will receive a bonus of $100.
c) Cash the check within 48 hours and you will receive a bonus of $50
The salary will be paid to the Representative by cashier check.
The today's situation on the financial market requires us to open and fill
several of these job positions within our company; the job opening is that
of a Representative within the US. This opening will help our company to
reduce the time it takes to receive funds from orders that we receive each
month. And we offer you one of the highest incomes on the market today and
the minimal expenditures of time.
Presently with the amount of orders we have we cannot put them on hold for
fear of losing our customers, secondly we cannot cash these payments from
the US soon enough, as international checks take about 28 working days to
cash anywhere in Europe. We lose a lot of time and money each month because
we have money transfer delays. Our clients could pay us where we want by
sending checks to an US address. What we need you to do is to provide us an
address where you can receive our customer checks. We need someone who can
receive the money through this method of payment. Regarding the check
process all you have to do is to receive the checks our customers will send
to your address, take them to your bank, cash them and send the remainder
amount to us after deducting all fees incurred and your commission. All fees
for transferring the funds will be supported from our share. Bonuses will
apply for cashing checks within 24 hours upon receiving a check. You will
always take your commission upfront.
We make direct contact for sales of products. Once orders are received and
processed we deliver the product to our customer (usually through USPS). The
customer receives and checks the product and proceeds to send the payment.
We accept all forms of payment but most of our customers pay using Bank
Checks and so in order to solve this problem and not lose any of our
customers we have decided to open this new job position. This job is legal
according to the U.S. legislation as it is today. Local money transfers take
but a few hours, so it will give us a possibility to get customer's payment
almost immediately.
PAYMENT AND SALARY:
For example you receive a check as payment in the amount of 3000.00 USD, you
deduct your commission (10%): 300.00 USD and then send to us the balance:
2700.00 USD. In the first month you will receive around 15-20 orders under
3,000.00 USD to process and after checking your performance records during
that first month the orders you will receive may increase from 3,000.00
upwards to 6,000.00 USD. For example 20 transactions each around 3000.00 USD
gives you a total income of 6,000.00 USD per month and after establishing a
close co-operation with us you'll be able to operate with larger orders and
you'll be able to earn more. You will also deduct fees that are related to
this job (gasoline, western union fees, bank commissions, etc) from our
balance, not from your commissions. At first the checks you will receive
will vary from: $500.00 to $3,000.00. We will also send you a 1099 Form for
tax deduction on your part. Our payments will be issued out in your name and
you can have them cashed in your existing bank account, we don't accept
newly created bank accounts because it slows the cashing process. Deduct
your percentage and forward the balance to the company attorney manager via
a western union money transfer, the name will be given to you later after
cashing a payment. This job takes only 3-7 hours per week. You'll have a lot
of free time for taking up another job; you'll get good income and a regular
job. This job is very challenging and you should understand it. We are
looking only for the employee who satisfies our requirements and will be an
earnest assistant.
We have health insurance and the 401K retirement savings plan as well as all
the other standard benefits that a major company usually provides.
Unfortunately we can only start talking about this after the first month has
passed since you're working for us. We consider the first month as a trial
period. In any case you do not have to pay for anything in advance, there
are no hidden costs for performing this job. Any fee you might encounter
will be deducted from our share of the funds before you send it to us.
You will receive next instructions step by step.
WORKING HOURS
This depends of how many checks you will receive but it won't take more than
2 hours to deposit the check and send an e-mail as soon as the check arrives
to you. Also as soon as checks arrive we will send you further instructions
and all details in order to complete the process with Western Union.
Unfortunately we cannot setup any interviews now as we do not have any
representatives in US. We will be able to come and meet within the next few
months when the new offices will be opened in your area!
Please let me know if you are still interested and I will e-mail you the
contract. Also include phone numbers and e-mail address where you can be
reached. Within 24 hours after we will receive this information we will
forward you a copy of the contract you have to fill in, sign and e-mail back
to us.

This is a scam email that is prevalent on the internet. There are a lot of variations on this theme, so beware. Notice they don't even tell you what type of equipment Collector Solution Ltd sells, no website, etc. Consult with an attorney in your area for specifics.
