I too fell for this mess, read below.
Dear Jessica, it will take awhile (5-9 working days) until you will receive your first transaction but after that you will receive daily. Note that you are now in our database as hired. As you already know,your are an independent contractor for our company so it will be your obligation to declare your earnings however we can provide a 1099 at the end of the year. If your earnings are less than $1000 in 30 days from today then we will send you the salary. Kind regards Support department PS.Note that you will receive your first transaction's details from another department(depending on the supplier's country) so you need to check daily your email . Dear Jessica, welcome to 'Strootman Trading Bv' team. Please allow 24 hours to process your contract. Meanwhile,send us your contact info's,including Legal Name,complete address and phone number(s), so that we can start to redirect Checks or Money Orders. You will receive all the support (and training) needed when we'll start your first transaction.This is a very simple process but it must be done seriously. Kind regards Support Department On 8/3/07, I wrote to them: When these transactions are tranfered to and from my account I need to know that my bank account will not be tampered with, or finding out in the long run that my account has fraudulant charges. THIS IS WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT: Most of our suppliers accept to receive payment in 3-5 days(until the check clears) however we have suppliers which request the payment in 48 hours so for this reason our company request that all the clients to sign an agreement contract which includes few claims regarding to your concerns. We never had such problems(ex. bounced checks) however you can wait until the funds are available. Kind regards Support department These peolpe need to be locked up.

Strootman Trading bv
I recieved the same letter from them!!! I looked up their website and some of the companies with whom they are affiliated and it all looked legit...until I found this site. Thank you for saving me from a stupid mistake. I replied to the email before I found this forum so who knows how many more of these I'll get. Thanks for the heads up!

May Just Be a Misunderstanding
Strootman Trading bv
It's unfortunate that since identity theft and Internet fraud are now so rampant, an actual company looking to expand its horizons is labeled as a "scam." I found this and many other sites validating Strootman Trading BV as a legitimate company out of the Netherlands. I'm still trying to figure out why they'd want to hire me (or any unknown U.S. citizen) to work for them handling sensitive financial transactions, but maybe do a web search before hoisting the scam flag next time.

Strootman Trading
Received the same message 8/10/07 offering the opportunity to become an independent contractor with their company. The sender was Wouter Struijs, from strootman.trading@gmail.com. Checked them out and all looked legit. Was told I’d receive a 1099 at the end of the year,which seemed unlikely, considering I hadn't given them my Social Security number. Foolishly, I signed the "contract" and received my 1st transaction...the check arrived in the mail yesterday. The thought of cashing a check, at my bank, from a person I don’t know gave me an uneasy feeling. Luckily, I followed my instinct, researched further and found this site. I will return the check with this info and be thankful it only cost me a stamp. Anything that seems too good to be true, ALWAYS IS! Thanks to all for the info and good luck in your employment endeavors.

I got the identical set of email with a different company name. All using gmail accounts. I did some googling on substrings in the email and found the exact same letter with these company names:
Callisto Trading Bv Lowland Trading Bv Ciparo Products Trading BV Strootman Trading Bv Binio Trading Bv Omsio B.V Here is how I think the scam works: They send you checks (fake or for accounts without funds) that will bounce. And they encourage you to wire the money fast. Perhaps the first checks wont bounce to get you confident...then they do and you are out thousands of dollars. I won't even deposit the first check. Even if you wait for it to clear, if it is without funds you may be charged by your bank.
