 Hi:
 
 I have a question about a company called the International CTM Group. They are advertising for a Local Assistent job where you can work from home receiving deposits and making financial transfers for the company through your local bank account.
 
 Does anyone know if this company is legitimate? And, in general, are these types of financial funds transfer jobs scams?
 
 Here is the website for the company:

 Sounds kind of sketchy to me.  Is it local to your community?  Just to be safe, try checking out http://ripoffreport.com and http://www.bbbonline.org

 No, the company is based in Russia I believe. I tried RipOffReport and the Better Business Bureau, and it was not listed.
 
 I have seen similar jobs like this one involving you setting up a bank account and transferring funds for the company. Are these types of jobs in general legit? They sound like scams.

 It is better to avoid such schemes involving money transfer.

 Yeah.  It could mean transferring YOUR money into THEIR bank.  Don't do it!

 I received an invitation today too. At first it seemed legitamate but I had one other job offer as a bookeeper and was send three bonus money orders; or should I say BOGUS money orders. After which I was hounded at 4 - 5 a.m. in the morning, told the place burned down, told the manager was in intensive care, threatened with an "Attorney" and more. These people are getting sophisticated with web designs and such. If you are a job seeker and wish to "work" to make money over the net, go to hiremagic.com. There you can be the "Agent."  Good luck

 It seems to be a payment processing scam and you could lose your money!
