I got this same message. When they told me how much money they were sending, I was like that is way too much money to be sending to a person you don't know and for me to send a majority of it back to some other person. My family could've used to so called commission money but I'm so thankful to God that I talked with my husband about it before I got caught up in a fraud.

this is the email i got, scam

Dear Applicant,
     My name is Christopher Walker from www.ecplaza.net, i link suppliers who have been personally tested to buyers and  stand for 100%. I source for buyers and suppliers at the same time so I can link them to make mine and the company's profits. On every actual purchase made, I have a 20% profit .I source for buyers and suppliers within and outside the United States of America. I am constantly on the move organizing Seminars to bring buyers and suppliers together. I need someone that can complete billings, invoicing and payments on my behalf and get them to the vendors, as well as to be on deck to receive payments from my buyers, so the linking is effective and immediate.

       The only way I am entitled to the 20% payment is, if the actual deal is concluded through me. When suppliers and buyers go head to head, I am at a loss as they can transact directly with one another without my knowledge. This position offers you 10%, you're offered a very good pay as transactions are steady, continuous and constant. An average transaction is for $2,000.00 and over and you can handle as many as 3 transactions in a week as most payments are made in installment. The pay is good enough to encourage you to work hard and be efficient while it's more than enough for me to stay in business while encouraging me to source harder and link more. I travel a lot and when buyers want to make purchase, when I'm on company errand, he\she has to hold-on till I return, to place an order, on the long term. The effect is our customers start sourcing for suppliers on their own, so having an  assistant/representative easily reachable has its numerous advantages. We have lost too many deals due to this and I'm trying to put an end to it.

The best form of payment used are Business checks and direct bank transfers they are readily available and confirmed on the spot, they are not the only means used but they are the best for our process. Most of the buyers we work with are those we've previously handled successful transactions with, new buyers are verified and confirmed before the linking process occurs. You have nothing to worry about. The mode of operation is as follows ; you receive the payment directly from the individual buyer, in your mail, usually via ups and have them cashed. You send the payment to our suppliers/vendors when I need you to, or directly to the company and your pay is 10% of the amount sent to you.  All charges during cashing, sending of payments and transaction completion will be deducted from the balance after you've gotten your pay and not deducted from your pay so your pay is fixed on the amount cashed per transaction. You can handle as many as 3 or more transactions per week, but you'll be handling one (1) initially to see how efficiently and how quickly you can carry out the completion.

On 3 transactions you're sure of nothing less than $600 weekly. The hours are flexible and you can decide when you want to work as what you'll be doing initially is cashing the payments and completing the transaction to the supplier. I don't need you online 24/7, just to be online on a daily basis and at least check your e-mail regularly.. Working with me will also not disturb your other jobs, (If you have any) as I require that applicant only have easy access to the internet, be reachable easily and respond/carry out instructions sent as soon as possible.

I applied for a job online a few weeks back, and got a reply from a Kenneth Walker from Visible Technologies with this exact number.  The position and company were kept confidential on Craigslist, but this information was provided in the reply e-mail.  Unfortunately, it's a scam - asking you to cash bogus checks and "keep 10%" (a.k.a. you send them 90% of the value from your own bank account).  I would avoid them at all costs.

II need confirmation of who this caller really is.
