My brother received an email from www.proeducation.info saying that he has been offered a job, the first thing he has to do is to send account details. Unfortunately he did without asking me or anyone. Now he's been asked to search for officesses in london. He did that too without even anyone noticing what he is doing. He got the proposal from one of the offices people which he forwarded to proeducation.info. Now he was said that he will be getting 1200 pounds from the client tomorrow morning which he has to transfer via western union money transfer to proeducation.info after deducting 250 pounds of his commission.
Please tell me if it is a fake company or any kind of scam.

yeah western union is used for so many scams this really sounds like so sort of scam.
but it might be for real but i would do a few calls first to the people in london to see why they are using western union since its a great way for money laundering

It sounds like a scam to me. Especially as they are asking for him to use Western Union (presumably so that it will be difficult to trace the recipient.)

This sounds like a TOTAL scam. I'd tell your brother to stop replying to this, and contact your local authorities and his bank for any help they can give him to prevent his bank account from being drained.

Never fall for anything where anybody ask for your personal information via computer or phone. Take my advice i learned the hard way when i was stripped from my banking account all of my money. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS !!! If it sounds to good to be true is usually is.

tell him to immediately remove any money in his bank account and open a new one, if it isn't too late already. the scam he fell into will clean out his account once they get the account number.
