Hello

I am a recruiting manager of "EastAntiques". Our organization provides commercial services for sellers of antiques from Eastern Europe and buyers from North America, Western Europe, Asia and Oceania. In other words our organization assists in locating possible buyers and connoisseur of antiques. EastAntiques deals with authentic antiques as well as rare subjects of the recent past.

EastAntiques will not deal with customers, which are looking for items older than the 17th century - as authenticity of such items cannot be fully verified, and religious attributes. Most of our clients are people from the former USSR. In most cases these people are not able to value their items at a correct price.

Our organization is registered in three countries Estonia, Russia and Ukraine. International wire transfers are usually delayed mainly due to the lack of accuracy of the banking system in these countries. This pushes us to search for foreign correspondents to receive payments and further shipments of rare items. The position of a correspondent requires a minimum of your time (1-2 hours per day). No investments are required. The duties of the correspondent involve accepting the payment to the correspondent's bank account and further transfer to the associates via Western Union/ Money Gramm. The payments are usually done via wire transfers or Pay-Pal (www.paypal.com). In order to apply for this position the following criteria must be met:

- You must be at least 21 years old.
- You should live in the countries of Western Europe, USA, Canada or Oceania.
- You must be a citizen of the country you are residing in.
- Internet Access.
- Bank Account with online access or Pay-Pal account.

If you want to receive funds via Pay-Pal, your account must be verified and have no withdrawal limits. To check the withdrawal limits of your Pay-Pal account you must login in and click 'My Account", than "View Limits" in balance window.

Your commission will be 10% per transaction that you will handle. Any banking fees that will be met during the process will be settled by "EastAntiques". Most of our foreign correspondents are able to earn 800 - 1500 US dollars weekly.

the words "russia" and "western union" would put most people off

Is this for real? Sounds like a scam to me (no offence meant if it's not)

Any serious business enterprise would not have to stoop to use PayPal surely? If they could pay 10% to rep AND PayPal charges they'd be losing a fortune! (If indeed there was any real business)

Sorry Russ - There's constantly posts on here about scams and some people seem to take them very seriously. Read it quickly and worried people might be tempted! Sorry if I've offended you, wasn't intended.

Anybody want to buy a very ornate bridge?
I have it on display in central London for your viewing pleasure.

But look at how much you can earn... i'm going to be rich!!! WOOHOO!!

I agree it sounds like a scam, but I don't see how/where.

I know several reputable companies who pay via paypal. Though this may not be one of them.

of course its a scam you crazy people. Your essentially doing nothing for 10%, they would just cut you out and do it themselves if it was a real task that needed doing!

I've had two spam emails almost exactly the same wording,
except its as a collection agent for an international charity 2 hours a week for 10% paid directly into my bank account,

these seem to be replacing the nigerian one thats been going years,

Are you trying to tell me I don't have a new job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gutted!

Keep looking. I'm sure you'll find something right up your alley. Perserverence (sp?) is the key!

I am SO JEALOUS - wish they had selected me some people get all the luck

Do they offer to do 10% of your sentence when you get caught as well

I think you missunderstood that one pete,
you arent doing anything wrong to get jail time,

they ask for your bank account details so they can deposit the 10%,

and the next time you go to draw cash out its empty,

It's worse thsn that, they deposit , say, 5k in your account. You pay out 4500, to the next guy, then the original 5k deposit gets cancelled, leaving you 4500 out of pocket!
Takes advantage of UK banking laws and I don't think it's illegal

I thought you were laundering the money for them

Gotta admit it's a way better scam than the lame "Nigerian" story!

Look at that website! It's got pretty "not for sale" products, and the place is full of pictures of respectable-looking middle-aged businessman-types..
