I received a job offer from Alpine Finance. In the job description document they provided their company website: www.alpine-finance.de

They also want me to make an online account on their website and they ask for all my details including my back account number and sort code.

JOB SUMMARY:
The Company Representative is responsible for dealing with the customer invoices/payments coming into his/her bank account and optimizing payment delivery dates. As a financial associate you will help to improve customer order delivery cycles set up with the company regional affiliations. In order to get fasten payment delivery dates, you will have to wire customer payments through international payment systems.

WORKING PROCESS:
During the working process you will process incoming and outgoing transfers from our customers. The main duties are: sending and receiving payments, making records of billing, making simple management duties, checking e-mail, data entry.

This job is possible because the Alpine Finance has its headquarters in Germany. As such we do not yet have stores UK cities. Thus, we will need representative in United Kingdom to take care of some financial matters. The problem we are facing is the time necessary for our company to process the funds Stock Exchange paid by our customers from UK after they have received our products and/or services.
This job is official and legal according to the current legislation.

I recently applied for a Part-time Teller position on Craigslist and got a response back from a Vannessa Crossby from BWA Property Management telling me I was the perfect applicant for the job but I needed to fill out an on-line application with a verification code. I googled her name and company and cannot find anything on the internet to verify this is a legitimate company. I m glad I didn t send in my resume right away and only responded with a letter. I believe this is a scam as well. What a disappointment.

Oh my gosh! I also received it through Total Jobs, from Tim Faber. Totaljobs should be more careful with the candidates' sensitive information, whom are looking for a job vacancy. I reported it as well. :( so annoying the waste of time and energy put towards a scam, when all we want is a f..k job opportunity. lol :) piece :) xx

Yes, it is a SCAM.



It is just a typical fake check scam.



You would receive a check that would look real. You would be told to cash it and then forward most of the proceeds out of the country via Western Union. Then, a few weeks later, you are notified that the check was fake. This leaves you on the hook for covering the bad check and possibly even facing criminal fraud charges yourself.

the funds Stock Exchange paid by our customers from UK after they have received our products and/or services.





This is rubbish. The Stock Exchange in the UK has nothing to do with this. It sounds like the typical money laundering SCAM, whereby you transfer money through YOUR bank account to someone.

Delete it.
