I responded to an ad to this ad on Craigslist and it sounds to good to be true, I was wondering if anybody could give me any insight on whether or not this is a scam. The email I received is as follows:
Greetings,
I am contacting you because you expressed you interest in a position we advertised on craigslist back in April.
The position got filled right away, but now we are looking to expand our team further.
We thought to contact you before putting up another ad.
If you are still looking for a job or just contract-based commission work, please read on.
My name is James Dickins, founder of BITCOIN INNOVATIONS LTD.
We are a British bitcoin trading startup and the position being offered is Operational Assistant.
Our latest product is
www.cubixchange.com real-time exchange portal. This is the project we are hiring for at the moment.
The Operational Assistant has three main tasks:
- take deposits from customers who wish to trade bitcoins
- settle purchase orders with local Bitcoin suppliers
- keep track of monthly activity and put together customer-focused reports
Our ultimate goal would be to assemble a team of reliable associates, which will be in charge of the company's future operations in the US.
For the first 3 months assesment period we are offering a contract based collaboration, a fixed $1000 monthly salary and 5% of every processed transaction as commission.
We already have a solid client base in the US and finding leads or new clients is not part of the job.
I will be glad to explain things further if this position is of interest to you.
Thank you for your time,
