In the last 2 months I have been all over the job market like Norm McDonald on whore-jokes and I have seen a number of ads placed seeking Currency Transfer Assistants. Apparently its a costly process for an international business to transfer large sums and they need regular old American joes to help them out. Here is a sample ad:
Dear Candidate,My name is Xxxx Xxxxx and I am the Operations and Trading Manager at Xxxxxxxxxxx, Inc. .
The job we are offering is very simple to be done and it will take only a small
part of your time but the winnings are very consistent.
In other words we will wire certain amount of money to your checking account or
send you a certified check or a cashiers check to your address.
Your job will be to buy e-currency`s (such as e-gold, evocash, e-bullion,e-dough etc.).
At the moment you will cash a check or receive your wire transfer you will substract
the 10% from the amount you received which will be your commission leaving the rest of
the funds to be invested according to our instructions.This job is a part-time job
and does not require any special skills, but it does require dedication
when at all times.
Please let me know if you are interested and we will discuss further details!Thank You.
I have gotten a number of these offers through CareerBuilder and other sites which I believe to be reputable. Maybe it's just a scam to get your bank account number (but not the routing number, if that means anything). Before I had a job I actually entertained one of these guys for a series of emails which I could also show you, but I ultimately was too much of a wimp to start earning some serious dough. Anyway, does anybody have any thoughts? does anybody even read this except for Viagra and Online Casinos, who by the way have been really great and I want to thank them for allthe positive encouragement.

scam
Posted by: tom at January 29, 2006 12:44 PMi've been reading that e-gold and other digital currencies are being used for money laundering and other criminal activities...e-gold seems to do a lax job of monitoring their users - accounts aren't user-based, so I guess it's hard to keep track of exactly who is opening one up.... also, e-gold and others aren't considered "financial institutions," so they aren't required to follow the self-monitoring rules of various legislation...businessweek had a big-story about the purported criminal activity conducted via e-gold: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_02/b3966094.htm
so i'm not sure if you could really be taken advantage of by just setting up an e-gold account, although it seems that your action could be used to help someone engage in some form of illegal activity
