I have a new job!!! (Yes, Attention Whoring)

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I know he's gonna quit his current job before making sure.....I know it. 

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I have the same feeling, gramps.

[opebo]

Kidding, but that is very rare for States and Opie to agree with each other.

Yeah so please take it seriously.

Seriously, man, I live in a constant state of fear of poverty (and by that I mean including death by poverty), and I've got money in the family. 

So I just want to stress, please be cautious and take things seriously.  The world is a very terrible and awful place, and you are incredibly lucky to have a subsistence job at the Gas Company.  You're not just playing around with a little mishap, you're playing around with a painful, miserable death, as is any american who becomes unemployed.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

All opebo doomsday speak aside, he's right. The worst thing that could happen to you is that you leave OK Natty Gas for this company and it turns out to be a scam. Combine that with the fact that you have a wedding, honeymoon and then a wife who doesn't work to support on top of that, things could turn ugly fast.

If this is what you want, meaning, to move to work for ON-Company, at least wait until you are fully hired, have your first paycheck, etc, before you decide to leave OK Natty. The fact that they didn't even interview you is a huge red flag to me. It's also kind of puzzling that they are hiring you as an assistant manager to work from thousands of miles away. How can you manage anything in that manner?

[Joe Biden 2020]

I got some more clarification today on the "assistant manager".  That title is given because they are looking to expand into the States and open more offices in this area, and they will eventually put other employees under me.  I can still move to Phoenix real easily, but they want to expand into the country.  I do have a voice to put with the online communication now, so that's a step in the right direction.

[Franzl]

Do you listen to anything people say???

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Do you have any interest in buying the Menai Suspension Bridge?

[patrick1]

Le sigh.  I tried....

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Ugh... from the looks of it, BushOK has already quit his job at OK Natty Gas...

[Ban my account ffs!]

Compulsiveness and gullibility are a lethal combination when it comes to being scammed.

[Joe Biden 2020]

My friends and family are comfortable with this switch.  Yes, it is a big risk, but as I've said before, sometimes you just have to step out in faith.  I'm growing increasingly confident in this company.  They've been in business over 10 years and it's absolutely impossible to be in business that long and conduct illegal business.  The government would have found them out and shut them down for now.  Also, they gave me their registration information with the Australian Government and I have checked them out on their version of the Better Business Bureau as well as America's BBB and have found no complaints.  I do indepth research before I make a decision, especially one as big as this, and that my mother can verify.  Sometimes I do make mistakes, but I always do extensive research on my decisions before I jump in with both feet.

Duke, you are correct, my last day at ONG is tomorrow, but I'm not worried at all.  I'll get started with my first training day on Monday and will get paid at the end of the first week of August.

[fezzyfestoon]

You have to pay them to train you?  SCAM

Where did he say that?

Yeah, I thought he had to do the depositing, not them.  Regardless, the other concerns are enough.  This thread is such a disappointment.

[memphis]

Bushie, are the issues others are pointing out concerning to you? Even a little?

[J-Mann]

Since it's too late to talk you out of this, how about a job description? Or have they given you that yet?

They've been in business over 10 years and it's absolutely impossible to be in business that long and conduct illegal business.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Since it's too late to talk you out of this, how about a job description? Or have they given you that yet?

Here is the job description:

This is the job description:
The position is home-based and your duties will include the following areas:
- maintaining business correspondence with customers of the company, replying on time and managing it,
-working out internal reports and classifying fiscal information (all stages of the process: from data collection to its organization),
-processing direct payments from the customers to programmers, working for our company (paper formalities),
- starting a new branch office (your assistance in looking for a proper office space and solving possible administrative issues).
- helping the company design and maintain websites on occasion.

To carry out your work you will be admitted to the corporate banking account as soon as you start working for us.

Memphis,

I hear what everybody else is saying and I had the same concerns at first, but as I've researched this company over and under, forward and backward, inside and out, I've grown more and more confident in not only their legitimacy, but their stability.  This is not a fly-by-night gig.  My mother and dad are also on board with this decision.  It took a while to convince them, but they are on board.

[patrick1]

BushOk, I wish you the best on your new endeavor and I hope my suspicions are very, very wrong.

However, get elaboration on what below entails:

processing direct payments from the customers to programmers, working for our company (paper formalities),

To carry out your work you will be admitted to the corporate banking account as soon as you start working for us.

There is a scheme to establish a front company, offer someone a job and then use said person for wire and banking fraud.   Maybe I'm paranoid but wouldnt want to see you facing Federal wire fraud or passing bad check charges.   Hell its even alluded to a craiglist:# 7 http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams

There is really NO LEGITIMATE REASON that a company would not be able to handle their own corporate accounts payable and receiving on a Global level from Australia.  My previous companies HQ was in London and handled all payment/receiving and annoyingly even payroll for over 100 countries. 

Also re: Contract-  for something this important have it looked at by a lawyer. 

P.S.- I hope I'm not coming off like a jerk.  This could very well be your dream job- just want to make sure all bases are covered.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

This does not pass the smell test.

[Franzl]

Stupidity needs to be punished, I suppose. I won't have much sympathy when the Truth comes out....but you just go ahead and let God lead the way!

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

P.T. Barnum was spot on.

[Gustaf]

As far as I'm concerned, the real clincher here is they finding you. That doesn't happen. A company doesn't randomly find some dude in another country with no previous experience in the particular field and give them a dream-job.

People do get dream jobs they're not qualified for (I know of cases similar to this one) but in those cases it always happens EITHER from personal contacts OR through the person himself seeking out the company.

If the business is legitimate, this way of conducting business is sufficiently unprofessional that they're unlikely to survive.

At the very, very least you should take some pre-caution in emptying the account you give them any kind of information on. Also, if they're good at this they might give you a little bit of money early on to instill confidence. If you're smart, don't get fooled by that.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Does anyone but me smell money laundering?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I think I smell the same thing, Gramps. It smells rank for sure.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I often wondered how people could possibly fall for Nigerian scams. Now I see how.

[opebo]

He has to be kidding us.

How can it be that a poor person exists who does not fear the pains of death by starvation?
