Thank you for your interest regarding the Transaction Manager position.
Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Franz Wagner, US Representative of Europay International.
We are a privately owned company, based in Germany and focused on providing European companies a fast and reliable way of receiving payments from non-EU countries. Because of the new law in the European Union, any company that recieves money transfers from non-EU companies has to pay VAT (Value Added Tax), 20% of all incoming transfers. But we don't have to pay the VAT as long as we receive money transfers from a US resident person and this way we can save a lot of money. Therefore, we are seeking for a trust-able person in USA who owns a bank account in order to receive payments from our US clients.
We agree to deposit funds into your US bank account if you accept 7% of these funds as payment for your services. You will only be responsible for sending the remaining of the funds to our company in Europe by direct wire transfer or Western Union. The fees for sending these payments will be deducted from our 93%. After the funds will be deposited into your bank account, you will be contacted by one of our staff to indicate you where to send the money. The only thing that is needed in order to work with us is to open a new bank account or if you already own one we can use that account to receive payments.
If you wish to work with us, visit our company website www.europay-global.com and click on Careers link to sign the Foreign Agent Agreement.
Respectfully,
Franz Wagner

-You are asked to be a Transaction Manager for business to business wire transers TO AVOID A EUOPEAN VALUE ADDED TAX OF 20%.inSTEAD THEY PAY YOU 7% FOR HANDLING THEIR TRANSFER.
-this is true and makes them more credible there is a vat, there is a company in berlin, germany that was merged years ago with mastercard international. Europay international really really appears legitimate and promises commissions of about $10,000.00 a month.
-*this is great if you like handcuffs and jail cells. If you are not careful you are involved in money laundering after researching and thinking that you are receiving legitimate funds and are actually working as a business to business transaction manager!
-After several weeks of legitimate looking e-mails and phone calls from a number that appears to be foreign, you receive a confirmation that states you will be receiving a wire transfer.
-isn't it funny that when you ask for a phone number to contact them the phones are down and please continue communicating by e-mail.
-You actually do receive a legitimate wire transfer from an unsuspecting consumer (not a business) and you are instructed to take your 7% and then go to multiple Western Union locations with CASH and send the funds to individuals they have supplied you with. They claim that there is a $3,000 limit per day and this is why you use cash and go to multiple locations.
-The money being wired to you is from a legitimate individual that thinks they have purchased a high ticket item that will be shipped to them.
-In this case a car was posted on e-bay Auto at a buy it now price.in this case I was listed as the Transaction Manager and instructions were given to wire me the money. The buyer was smart enough to call directory assistance and get my phone number.
-When I found out that this was not a business to business transaction the account was frozen immediately and the potential crime was reported to the FBI and Police Department.
Do not involve me in fraud!
