Is this for real?
Discussion
Just got this in my email. What do the PH possy think?
Dear Sir/Madam,
P-Pharm is a Belgian company selling medical and consumer goods. We have reached big sales
volume of pharmaceuticals in the US and now are trying to penetrate the European market.
Quite soon we will open representative offices and pharmacies or authorized sales centers
in the UK and therefore we are currently looking for people who will assist us in
establishing a new distribution network there. The fact that despite the British market is
new for us we already have regular clients also speaks for itself.
WHY YOU?
The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in Belgium is 25%,
whereas for the individual it is only 7%. That.s why we need you! We need agents to receive
payment for our products (by electronic money transfer) and to resend the money to us. This
way we will save money because of tax decreasing.
HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?
7%-9% from each sale/resale operation! For instance: you receive 1000 USD to your bank
account. You will withdraw the money and keep $70 (7% from $1000) for yourself! At the
beginning your commission will equal 7%, though later it will increase up to 9%!
ADVANTAGES
You do not have to go out as you will work as an independent contractor right from your
home office. Your job is absolutely legal. You can earn up to $3000-4000 depending on time
you will spend for this job. You do not need any capital to start. The employees who make
efforts and work hard have a strong possibility to become managers. Anyway our employees
never leave us.
If you are interested in our offer, please feel free to ask for the general provisions of
the Contract.

A quick look at the site and it seems legit, but unless you have any prior dealings with the company my overwhelming feeling is SCAM.
Something as cushty as this, were it real, would surely go to friends and family first rather then to anyone.
I assume this was sent as spam?

Money Laundering is what it is called in the US. Or, a scam to have you deposit money into your account, that really isn't there, and having you cover the overdraft.
Try this:
I have a V. Large amount of cash from my, ahhh, "Import and Export" business. You and 10 of your mates are "hired" as consultants, paid large sums of money, which you then transfer around amongst yourselves as your "fees", with the "profits" going back to the head office.
IIRC, a person in the US was doing something like this through Ebay (receiving overpayments for goods and transferring the balances back), until the Feds became involved. Massive fines, IRS involvment, very nasty stuff.

Oh Pug406, I thought you were smarter than that!
I looked at the site and it looked real. However, it looked to good to be true - ERGO must be a scam - but I thought I would ask the possy. They (ppharma)say they wont ask for your bank details but on their Application" form, one of the questions is "What are your bank details"
Definately a scam
