3% from the total transaction amount for transactions larger than $10,000.00 US dollars.

You will earn a minimum of $3000 and up to $10000 per month, depending on the transactions that are forwarded to you.
If you do not total an earning of $3000 at the end of the month, we will pay you the difference up to $3000.
If you earn more than $10000 during a month, the commission you will get from each following transaction from that point on, until the end of that month will be 1.3% regardless of the amount of the transaction.
Your commission will be paid to you upon completing a task that was assigned to you, this means that you will get your commission daily for the work done in that day. "


I actually went through their vetting process, which was surprisingly easy and swift. They even dropped a couple of their own requirements, like getting a copy of my license. So they "hired" me over the internet in less than 24 hours. I have a bit of correspondence from them that asks for more and more personal/financial info...

But having done a little digging on the net, it's become clear to me
that the "funds" they intend to deposit into my account (and then have me withdraw and forward on somewhere) will come from a compromised account and I'll be left in the lurch for fraud!

GRRRR! So they were luring me and wasting me time; worse, setting me up.
MY response is to put them on this list.
