Default Cover for illegal activities?

My wife just go an email from About Us, sent to her via her posting on monster.

The job entails recieveing money with your paypal account, and then sending that money via western union. The salary: 15% commission for each transaction.

It sounds too good to be true.

They don't ask for any information other than your paypal email and your name. That's essentially it.

My fear is that this is being used to launder money from illegal activities, which would make us personally liable. But the website assures that it complies with all Homeland Security laws.

What does everyone think? Heard anything about them?

Thanks for the help!

Probably the same people who have been sending out offers of employment form Sydney Car Centre and Harvey Investments to name just two. Until I set filters I was getting 20 or more a day from each company.
The main things to remember about employment offers are.
1: If it seems too be good to be true it has got to be a scam.
2: Would a genuine company spam mailbox's with offers of employment ?
3: Would a genuine company need payments to be sent to an agent, withdrawn and then forewarded by Western Union or Money Gramm ?
Sorry but this shouts money laundering, loud and clear.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

The broken Engrish didn't inspire confidence either. The only reason I entertained the idea was because their website actually existed and had some corroborating documents.

If you search you will find many cases about "money mule". A serious company does not start sending randomly e-mails to get employees.
