so you were hired without ever speaking to anyone in person, or via the phone? That is a HUGE red flag.

Quote:
including accounts receivable management

this usually means cashing our fake cashier's checks/money orders and then wire the money back to us

A couple of points to consider in this would be: I would think you would need some type of training to do accounts receivable not just a high school diploma. Second it says that you will recieve training and then it states it is a learn as you go job. Another point would be that you would only be working 1-2 hours per day which would be at most 14 hours a week so how do you earn $800 a week at a rate of $21 per hour? This is a scam as far as it goes. I agree with Shawn you will recieve payments and be told to either send the money to them via Western Union or transfer to a bank account you would be given. I hope this helps you and am glad that you questioned this before being stuck for money they would steal from you. It is too easy to fall into a scam when you think you are just doing what is right to make a better life. I was not so lucky and am still paying the price for the scam I got pulled into.

Thank you all for your help...I received another letter from Michael Vogts stating that they have a client for me who will be putting money into my paypal account and I shoudl be getting instructions by Monday, maybe Sunday night. I have not given them my PayPal account information, so I am not sure how they will be transferring this money into my account. Did any of you check out the website that was posted in the original email that was sent? I am doing nothing, I plan on writing a No Thank you email to honor that "3 day" in writing cancellation point in the contract. Thanks again, everyone.

Heidelberger Payment GmbH (heidelpay.com | heidelpay.de) is a legitimate german business. The scammer misuses this name to give his scam more credibility. Pls. note that "Michael Vogts" ( in real: Ivan Scamarowsky or so ) uses michael_vogts@BonBon.net as his office address.
