Default Europe Trade Group

Here is another employment scam...
Watch out for this one!!!!
Email is.....


I am a manager of EuropeTrade Group.
We are glad to inform you, that your resume has been successfully
selected from hundreds of candidates on the Job Search site.
And now we would like to suggest you to become our
US Sales Representative in the USA. I am your personal manager,
my name is Andrey Kamenev, and my task is to show you the ropes
and to explain what is required from you.

Some information about EuroFinance Group.
EuroFinance Group works in two directions:
Our company creates due conditions to attract investments on the
territory of Russia, to obtain banking credits, to make leasing
transactions and other processes connected with attracting of
funds. To get more details about our company, please, visit our
official websites:
www.EuroFinanceGroup.com

2. The second direction: EXPORT TRADE
Our company is looking for buyers of goods exported from Russia.
We help russian companies to increase sales and expand their business
by
finding appropriate partners in Europe and USA.
Please read below for the list of exported goods:
Automotive/Truck
Biotech
Business/Finance/Currency
Clothing/Textiles
Communications/Internet
Computers /Software/ Peripherals
Construction
Engineering
Entertainment
Equipment/Machinery


We have established close ties of cooperation with a number of
industrial
companies in Russia and apply great efforts in promoting their products
in
USA and Europe.

We have already ?orporate and small individual customers from the USA
who
want to begin purchase of the export goods and the equipment.
The Russian equipment does not concede on quality to the European
analogues
but its cost approximately 2-3 times less.


Now we want to explain to you a problem which arises at work with the
American customers.

For work with the American customers and for business dealing in
territory
the USA under the American law our company has been registered
In Tax services of America. Now our company has all necessary documents
and
essential elements for work with the American customers:
EuroFinance Group.
Address: 20281 E COUNTRY CLUB DR;APT 17
NO MIAMI BEACH, FL 33180
Tax ID (FEIN): 65-0381917
Reference Name: FLORIDA BUSINESS REGISTRATIONS
IMPORTANT: FOR WORK IN OUR COMPANY YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL
IN MIAMI BEACH, FL. YOU CAN DO ALL WORK AT HOME.

Therefore we pay taxes from all incomes in territory of America.
According
to the Tax Legislation of USA our company should execute the following
rules:
1. For trade in USA our company should have US Sales Representative who
will be the resident in the USA
2. All trading operations should is carried out through the US Sales
Representative in the USA.

Also our customers shall be send you payments for the bought goods.
For payment of the export equipment our customers can pay money
directly
to Russia, but it CONTRADICTS LAWS the tax Legislation of USA.
Therefore now the employee in the USA is necessary for us and now I
want to
offer you this post.
WE ACCEPT BANKER'S CHECKS, DIRECT TRANSFER OF MONEY TO HANDS, INTERBANK
TRANSLATIONS, FOR PAYMENT OF OUR GOODS. THE MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN
customerS PREFER TO USE CHECKS FOR PAYMENT OF OUR SERVICES. THEY
CONSIDER
THAT IT IS THE MOST RELIABLE, CHEAP AND CHECKED UP WAY FOR PAYMENT.
AFTER
CONSULTATION WHICH
WE GIVE BY E-MAIL OR PHONE, THEY MAKE OUT A CHECK. MANY customerS
ARRIVE TO
OUR OFFICE IN MOSCOW AND RECEPTIONS OF THE GOODS THEY WRITE OUT CHECKS.
ALL

THESE CHECKS ARE VALID ONLY ON THE TERRITORY OF THE USA. THEY CAN BE
CASHED
ONLY ON THE TERRITORY OF THE USA. WE HAVE BRANCHES ONLY IN RUSSIA AND
CIS
COUNTRIES. THEREFORE ONE OF THE DUTIES OF THE US Sales Representative
IN
THE USA WILL BE RECEPTION OF BANKER'S CHECKS FOR CASHING IN.
SOME customerS WILL PERSONALLY ARRIVE TO YOU FOR PAYMENT OF OUR
SERVICES.
ALSO YOU WILL ACT IN THE ROLE OF THE SELLER OF OUR EXPORT GOODS.

Also I want to explain to you a situation concerning payment of taxes.
You
should not worry concerning payment of taxes from your incomes.
Because you should not pay any taxes from your incomes as you will be
submitted as " Independent Contractor " and according to the contract
which
you sign with our company, you will be exempted from all taxes.

If you agree to work in the quality of US Sales Representative in the
USA
you will have price-work wages. These are 10 % from all incomes in the
USA
(checks, bank operations, payment by cash). At the first stage of work
every week you will receive checks for 8000 USD,
therefore your earnings will be not less than 800 USD per week. With
the
increase of the amount of our
customers in the USA your earnings will increase as well. It is a very
favourable offer for you which you should not miss. If you disagree for
this
work,
please inform us as we have many candidates for this position but only
ONE
WORKPLACE which now is offered only to you.
Please give your answer during two working days. And now we hope for
your
consent as we require fair, responsible and respectable employees.


At present we have a small amount of customers in the USA as our
company
has only recently started work with the USA but by calculations of the
marketing
department and according to the business plan in 3 months our company
will
have more than 30 customers in the USA.
Thus, in 3 months you will serve more than 30 payments from our
customers
(checks, bank operations, payment by cash) a month for a total sum not
less
than 70,000 USD, therefore your earnings will be more than 7000 USD a
month.
It is not required a lot of time from you for this purpose. It is
enough
one hour a day for performance of work. More simply, when you act in
the
quality of
our Sales Representative, we will inform our customers about you and
explain them that you are our Sales Representative in the USA.
Then our customers will choose a way of payment of our goods:
1. payment by cash. They will come to you for payment. Now our company
has
no office in the USA therefore it complicates work.
But our company plans opening official office in 2007. Therefore in the
future customers will arrive to this office.

2. BANKER'S CHECKS. If customers which cannot personally arrive to you
that
they will write out checks for your name and then will send
These checks to you by regular mail.

3. ELECTRONIC BANK TRANSFERS(ACH, WIRE)
Some of our customers will send money to your account by electronic
transfers. We will inform you on
amount and time of these transfers. You should transfer money from the
corporate account to our company’s main
account in Russia at the same day you have received it. You should
avoid
any delay because you will work with money and
you should not make us to be troubled.

Therefore further if our customers will write out checks for you and
when
you receive it,
you should cash money from the check, leave 10 percent for yourself and
send the rest to the financial department of our company.
As you can see it is not difficult and rather profitable.
Also you have a choice. There is the second variant of work. But
unfortunately you can engage in this work only after one-year
employment in
our company.
After you work in our company for 12 months, you can be promoted and
become
our ADVERTISING MANAGER.
To be appointed to this position in our company you should:
1. Work in our company for one year.
2. To conclude the contract with our company.
3. Arrive to Russia for training and consultation for the period of two
months. All lectures will be held in English.
As we give you an interpreter, you will not have any problems in a
language
barrier.
(We will completely provide you with accommodation and meal). Our
company
will pay you 40 USD per day during your stay in Russia. You will live
in the
Hotel
Arbat in the center of Moscow.
Hotel’s address:
Moscow
Leninskiy Street, 23
(495) 961-2115
4. Receive a taxpayer number in Russia. Please do not worry about it.
Our
company will completely take all work on itself. This number gives you
the
following advantages:
** When you retire, you will be paid every month from the budget of
Russia
900 USD as a retirement benefit.
** You receive free of charge treatment in any hospital on the
territory of
Russia.

If you satisfy the above mentioned conditions, you will search
customers
who will be ready to buy our goods .
More simply, you are an interlink between our company and customers in
the
USA.
You will receive the salary at the rate of 15 percent from all the sum
of
funds which customers will pay to our company.
You will decide who is to be employed,
and what way. Your task will be search of customers. All stages of work
with one customer cost approximately 25,000 USD.
If you find 10 customers who will be ready to cooperate with our
company,
it will be easier for you to pass a curriculum in Russia. We will
provide
you with
the financial base for carrying out of advertising on territory of the
USA.

Advertising will be carried out on TV, publicity boards, magazines,
newspapers.
From ten customers our company can receive profit at the rate of
250,000
USD from which you can get 15 percent and it is 37,500 USD.
But this work will take you much more time. But now it is early to
speak
about it. Now you should know that in our company you are not at a
stop.
You are promoted and increase your salary. We respect and remunerate
our
employees who are responsible for concern in the work.

Exclamation I knew it!

I've gotten this same letter! The first thing that set off my Scam Senses was the fact that it was that it wasn't properly addressed to me. Glad I did my research.

They will send you checks (fake ones of course) and you send money to another party after you cash it and keep a percentage. 20 to 30 days later after the bank had put funds in your account, the bank will find out it is fraudulent and then take back the funds. If you sent the money to the "third party" already then you are out that money. That's what usually happens.
