Ecos Group Inc, Jenny Brown, Susan Nolte illegal job offer, money laundrying, scam Toranto Ontario

I received an email in response to a resume post on CareerBuilder.com, from a Jenny Brown, claiming to represent Ecos Group Inc. I was asked if I would like to apply for a job as a Financial Agent. I did, but as I received more details about the company, the whole proposition began to sound increasingly suspicious. I and a friend researched the company, but couldn't find anything against it, so I proceed with the application process. The application was approved, and I was offered a job as a Financial Agent. Because I could find nothing to support my suspicions, I accepted. However, I was then asked for a personal bank account number. I was confused, because they allowed the option of an empty account unrelated to your personal accounts. Then I got the "job details": the proposition was that the company puts money in the account via direct deposit. The "agent" is then supposed to withdraw the money as cash and mail it via Western Union money order to the address named by the company. This sounded like money laundrying to me, and I cancelled the whole thing at once. I now want to make sure other people are warned about this new scam.
