Job Scams: Fake FELICITY INTERTRADE CO., INC. Job Offer

  • 3-17-2009

Watch out for another job scam that claims to be from FELICITY INTERTRADE CO., INC.

Anyway, we cannot find this company on the web. There is a Felicity Inc. and an Intertrade Corporated. The scammer simply added the 2 together and came up with a new company name. Unfortunately we do not have the email header and we are unsure who the sender is.

The giveaway in this offer is this:

"All I need is a trustworthy, honest, sincere and transparent individual in the United States who will work as my representative and assist me in processing payments from my customers and I am willing to pay you 10% for each payment received and processed on behalf of my company hence, you are likely to receive payments periodically from my customers based on weekly/monthly sales. As such, you are to handle any of my customers who prefers the above mentioned method of payment, and hence you are to cash any check or money order received, then deduct 10% from the total sum as your workmanship and send the balance to me (All transfer charges would be deducted from the total amount you are to send to me)."

Check out our earlier posts on job scams. Never take up a job that is too good to be true, like the above. Why does any company need to employ someone to work at home and handle payments from their customer? In any case, online payment methods or telegraphic transfer are so widely used and certainly safer for a real company to receive their payment. This offer is fake and the scammer is either using the "employee" as a money mule or some scams. Do not fall for it.

We sell and distribute our products in large quantity and we make supply to our customers in the U.S periodically and customers make payments for our supplies respectively. Though, most payment
from our U.S customers come in form of money order, check and travelers check which are not cashable outside the US or Canada, and most customer prefer these means as their means of payment, because they say it's more reliable and safer than dealing with cash.
