Is this a scam? Got an email for this “job” opportunity?



Would you like to work online from Home/Temporarily and get paid weekly? We are seeking to offer you a Job position with our reputable company, Global Source Fabrics And Textiles. We need someone to work as a Representative/Book keeper in USA,Australia and Asia/Europe.This is in view of our expansion program to USA,Australia and Asia/Europe, where we presently dont haveany office. You don’t need to have an Office and this certainly wont disturb any form of work you have going at the moment.

Our integrated yarn and fabric manufacturing operations use state-of-the-art textile equipment from the world’s leading suppliers. Order processing, production monitoring and process flow are seamlessly integrated through a company-wide computer network.
* The average monthly income is about 4000.00 USD.
* No form of investments from you.
* This job takes only 1-3 hours per day

About the job:
We have sales representatives all over the world to distribute our products.You know, that it’s not easy to start a business in a new market (being the USA,Australia and Asia/Europe). There are hundreds of competitors, close direct contacts between suppliers and customers and other difficulties, which impede our sales promotion.We have decided to deliver the products upfront, it’s very risky but it should push up sales on 25 percent.Thus we need to get payments
for our products as soon as possible. Unfortunately we are unable to open Bank Accounts in the US,Europe, Asia & Australia without first registering the company name.
Presently with the amount of Orders we have, we cannot put them on hold. For fear of loosing the customers out rightly to our competitors.Secondly we cannot cash these payments from the USA/Australia,Asia, and Europe soon enough,as International Cheques take about 14 working days for cash to be made available.We lose about 75,000 USD of net income each month because we have money transfer delays
*Hence Your task is to coordinate payments from customers and help us with the payment process.You are not involved in any sales. We make direct contact for sales of products. Once orders are received and sorted we deliver the product to a customer (usually through FEDEX).The customer receives and checks the products. After this has been done the customer has to pay for the products. About 90 percent of our customers prefer to pay through bank to bank transfer depending on the amount involved. That is why we have decided to open this new Job position for solving this problem.

Your tasks are;
1. Receive payment from Customers
2. Cash Payment at your Bank/Cash point
3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed
4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of our offices as you will be instructed.

For example you receive payment of 3000.00 USD you take your income: 300.00 USD Send to us: 2700.00 USD First month you will have 15-20 transactions on 3000.00-4000.00 USD so you may calculate your income.For example 18 transactions on 3500.00 USD gives you 4410.00 USD Plus your basis monthly salary is 1000.00 USD Total: 5410.00 USD per month 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.Our payments will be issued out to you.Deduct your weekly salary and forward the balance to the company via western union money transfer or money gram money transfer We understand it is an unusual and incredible job position. This job takes only 3-7 hours per week. You’ll have a lot of free time doing another job, you’ll get good income and regular job.But this job is very challenging and you should understand it. We are looking only for a hardworking,reliable and honest worker who will satisfy our requirements and will be a consistent representative. We are glad to offer this job position to you.
It seems a little fishy.

  1. Total scam!

  2. 100% scam why would they need your bank account to cash checks. Their checks have no funds on them and will overdraw your account like mad.

    Plus the obvious grammatical errors in the email.

  3. This was e-mailed to me too. It has “SCAM” written all over it. Trash it.

  4. This is a scam, was a program on 20/20. This money laundering, woman almost got arrested.

  5. yes lt is a scam. just delete lt

  6. Have you ever heard the saying it’s to good to be true? Yes this is a scam they mail you fake money orders, travelers checks or something like that and have you cash them at your bank, by the time they clear your account and come back as fake you are out thousands of dollars and they have canceled out the original email address you were contacting them at. Heres a hint if it comes from a free account (i.e. hotmail, yahoo, cox, and the @ is not followed by the company name like than its a scam account. I have found some excellent real work from home oppertunities if you would like info on them feel free to email me

  7. Once again, TOTAL SCAM. It’s unfortunate people have to deal with things like that while just trying to find an honest oppurutunity to make some money online. I’ve been making my living for the past 2 years and put the website below together in my free time to give some honest reviews and resources for those looking for work at home jobs. Check it out if you get the chance and let me know what you think, it’s enitre purpose is to help those in need of some legitimacy. Good Luck!!!

  8. It is absolutely a scam. These people use this form of email because the average person reading it will realize that what they are suggesting is illegal at best, it’s money laundering, but they make it attractive by offering to pay you 10% of what they get. They use the laundering aspect so that when you do eventually realize you have been scammed you will be reluctant to call the authorities because what they suggested you do is..illegal. What they do is take advantage of the fact that an internation cheque can take 14 days to actually go through, but Banks are required, in this country, by Federal law to made funds drawn against the cheque available within 3 working days..long before the cheque itself has cleared. Then they request that the ‘victim’ send them the balance of the money, often by Western Union. The vicitm thinks everything is above ground until a week later when the bank alerts them to the fact that the initial cheque deposited was counterfeit, and the victim is not only liable then for paying back the bank the amount of money taken, but you also have to answer to the authorities for attempting to pass a counterfeit cheque. This is called a cheque-kiting technique. I used to get emails like these about ten times a day. They come in many forms, but generally they involve moving large sums of money out of foreign nations.

    Watch out! Hope this helped.
