There is a false company supposedly located in Italy that claims to be an escrow service. The company name is Rexton International Inc. They will contact you out of the blue and claim to have the dream job you've been looking for and then guarantee you that you will make up to $5,000 a month but no less than $2,000 and all you have to do is mediate transactions over ebay with "clients" overseas. For doing this you get a "commission" which is usually 5% of the entire amount of the transaction. Usually you will be contacted by a person with a very common sounding name.in my case it was a man named Steve Morris. Recently I saw that there were job listings for this very same company and job in Colorado with the contact name Alex Grossman.
What this company actually does is trick people on ebay with fake auctions where the items either don't exist or are never delivered. Essentially there are two people that get scammed at one time. One is the person who wins the fake auction and pays, and the other is the person "hired" to get the money and send it to these scumbags. So the person bidding on ebay wires the money to the employee (who thinks they are working for a legit company) and then the employee is instructed to send the money to clients who are supposed to deliver the merchandise to the winning bidder on ebay. The merchandise is never delivered and the person that won the item on ebay automatically thinks that the unsuspecting employee stole their money.in the meantime the money is gone to some bogus names in Italy to never be seen again.
If you have been contacted by this company or any of the names I've mentioned DO NOT AGREE TO DO ANYTHING FOR THEM, DON'T EVEN TALK TO THEM. The whole thing is a money rip-off scam and they have scammed people out of thousands of dollars. Also when bidding on ebay please be warned that they seem to only deal in items with large amounts of money involved. The scam that I was tricked into was an auction for a motorcycle for $8,500, so be careful who you are paying and who you are dealing with when buying something expensive on ebay.
