Anybody ever get this one before? Seems a little suspicious image

Hello David,

This is David Ward, you recently made a purchase from me (dave81358 on ebay). I also work as the main US affiliate of a German company - Tremix Pro, and I'm writing you because I need somebody, preferably an Ebay member, with permanent Internet access, to work with me as secondary affiliate in the US.
Your commission would be 7.5% of the transactions, (around $500 / week). If your schedule allows you to work an extra hour per day, let me know.
Best Regards, Dave

    David,

    Do you think that if there was an opportunity to make $500.00 per week for 1 hour of work per day, that a STRANGER would ask YOU or ME? Unless that guy has NO relatives or NO friends, I doubt he would be asking you!!!!!

    Bottom line ... a LOT suspicious!

    RUN FOREST RUN!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    I did make a purchase from him a few months back. I wonder how many people he sent this email to and I wonder how many will attempt to take him up on the offer.

    I'm sure that if somebody responds positively to him he will then ask for a bank account number or to send him a few hundred dollars as an investment fee.

    Fruit loops......ooops wrong thread.


    If that is the case I'd say I would not check it out.

    Can I ask how do you know he will ask for a bank account or 200.00?

    Good for you.

    I googled "Tremix pro " and its either a concrete supplier or its an account that has been shutdown by msn.

    Best of luck on this adventure.

    I'm sure you can look into it without putting anything on the line. It's easy to start another bank account seperate from your existing one. And also tell him to deduct investment fees from your checks. image

    And it seems very suspicious to me, lol.

    Could be a hijacked account!

    A couple of things came to my mind as soon as I read your email:

    In this economy, you should take what you can get.

    Go for it and good luck!

    Don't walk away from it, run away from it. Even if it's not a direct scam or hoax, I can't imagine that the story will end well.

    tremixpro.com


    looks like - NOT saying it is - a site for sleepers
    to communicate and get copies of documents.

    Or, I guess, it might be an employee/contractor
    message/registration site.

    (It lets folks have access with any made-up name and pw.)
