   Is this too good to be true?
   I received an email from Career Builder and the person wanted me to respond to a Gmail account. I just replied asking for more info and I received this email. This time it was from a company email address. Does anyone know if this is real or a scam?

   Thanks in advance!

   Thank you for your interest in the recently opened position of an account manager with our company. IT Complex Ltd is a young, but already recognized web outsourcing provider in the European IT market. Our head office is located in the suburbs of London (United Kingdom) and we are preparing to open an office in the USA by the end of the year. Despite the fact that we have only recently entered the US market, we have already found our customers here, and now we are searching account managers to provide a vital communication link between our developer teams in Europe and US customers.

   As an account manager, you will be working from home, as an independent contractor on the 1099. The working hours are 9 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday. We expect our account managers to perform the following activities:

   - Providing our customers with the highest level of customer support service possible;
   - Responding to customers’ requests and needs in a timely manner;
   - Developing strong business relationships by demonstrating professional customer communication;
   - Overseeing and verifying customers’ billing procedures;
   - Distributing payroll among outsourcing developer teams;
   - Keeping records on the project developments process, monitoring the progress on it;
   - Assisting in completing project tasks by gathering the most detailed information from customers.

   Your typical daily routines will include:

   - logging into a remote helpdesk (where you will be able to schedule your daily activities, contact other team members, download and share project documentation and other materials);
   - participating in conference calls with project managers and developers,
   - checking your mailbox for messages from customers.

   We offer a fixed monthly salary of $3,500, which is paid in parts, every two weeks. The company also provides a flexible bonus system, which allows you to receive additional bonuses for each new project that you take for support. The bonus amount depends on the total price for the taken project; bonuses are paid instantly. The number of projects that you can take each month depends only on your multitasking and time-management skills.

   It’s a scam. No company uses a gmail account.

   Usually that kind of stuff is a scam but this one seemed like something different than what they usually are. I WOULD NOT give my social security number or anything like that on the application. If they are so interested that they need it they can get it from you in a phone interview and then even then I would be cautious. That is just a lot of money to just be offering without negotiating and that makes me feel it is bait.

   It does not ‘smell’ right. The mix of information is wrong. If it was genuine, it would provide more facts and less bull. The range of expected duties is not plausible for the position. If they are who they say they are, why wouldn’t they give an actual address for their headquarters and specific information about their products or services. I do not believe the line about why they were using gmail. It is either untrue or it shows they can’t run a business …. or both.

   The idea that THEY tell you what hours you will work and what you will do is incompatible with the assertion that you would be "an independent contractor".

   If, as they claim, they are a limited company, then they must be registered with Companies House (the UK registry of companies). It is worth searching the register and finding out all you can about the purported sender of the email.

   This smells as though it might be a pyramid scam – or ‘networked selling’ or one of the other many names by which such structures are known. They are so well known as a ‘web outsourcing provider’, they do not come up on a search engine.

   Be cautious, my friend. ’nuff said!

   100% scam. I have seen similar messages that ask for you to provide some basic information, eg:
   Name
   Address
   Date of Birth
   Place of Birth
   etc.
   I suspect this is aiming for the same thing. Once you’ve handed your details over they have everything they need to impersonate you and answer security questions. If they can find out who you bank with say goodbye to your cash.

   Please do not respond.
