Check Processing Employment Scam Letter

Letter Source: We did not receive the Full
Headers for this email, so we cannot generate a source report. The
domain firebirdequity.net carries a registration address in Riga, Latvia.
The site itself has been removed from the Internet. Many scammers
purchase domain names just so the email address will contain a domain
suffix to match the email content. Let's take a look at the discrepancies in this letter. 1. The letter is from "Mallory" but the return address is jerryulnf. 2. "... Since we are currently unable to establish full-scale presence in the US due to the severe restrictions imposed by the Patriot Act of 2001..." Were that true it means that Firebird Equity is involved in terrorist activities. Not someone you want to work for. 3. Only a person fully licensed and bonded to do so can transfer funds into investment accounts or touch investment funds in any way. No one who has gone through the educational requirements to be licensed would touch this at all. |

What's so good about it? :)
Firebird Private Equity Ltd. (Kaunas, Lithuania) is looking for
prospective Receivables Managers in the United States.
This is home-based position ideal for anyone looking for an extra
income
opportunity with a flexible schedule.
Your key responsibilities will be to manage and facilitate the payments
made by our US clients into the investment accounts under the
supervision of the regional Collections Executive.
A perfect candidate should be a good communicator who is also
comfortable with numbers.
College education or basic administrative experience is a plus.
Found in 1996, Firebird Private Equity specializes in private equity
investment in the emerging markets of Eastern Europe, Middle and
Central
Asia.
Over the years, we have successfully completed several projects in the
telecom, energy and mining industries, generating substantial revenues
for our institutional and private clients.
To learn more about our company, please visit us online at
www.firebirdequity.com.
Since we are currently unable to establish full-scale presence in the
US
due to the severe restrictions imposed by the Patriot Act of 2001, we
are looking for proactive individuals to act as our receivables
managers
in the Americas.
The position is commission based, and would require no more than 2-5
hours per week to fulfill your duties.
Your core duty will be to receive the funds from our investors into
your
designated account.
Reconcile the payments if required and transfer the funds into our
investment accounts.
You will be receiving a 5% commission for each transfer that you
forward
to us.
For instance, if $5000 is credited to your account, you will earn a
commission of $250.
Your commission is available immediately, so there is no need to wait
for the payment check in the end of the month.
Firebird Private Equity is an equal opportunity employer.
We will be happy to offer employment opportunities to senior citizens,
minority nationals and physically challenged individuals.
In order to qualify for the position, you must be a permanent US
resident aged 21 and above.
It is recommended that you set up a separate bank account for escrow
service; however, you may use an existing account.
Since most communication with your supervisor will be via
email/fax/phone, you should have good access to these facilities.
To apply for the position or to make an inquiry, please email us at
