I appiled to a job from craigslist and received an email "opportunity". Supposedly the company is affiliated with Visa and needs US bank accounts (they are based in the UK) to funnel money through. You get $140 for every transfer you make. They suggest you open a new checking account with a zero balance to use for this purpose. They assure you that this is 100% legal and that they work with the FBI and Interpol.
The only info they ask of you is for your name, address, birthdate and a copy of your driver license (no social security number) and the bank account info you want to use.
Thoughts??????

It sounds like a scam to me. Why would anyone pay someone to do something they could easily do for themselves. If you want to check them out, get in touch with the FBI. They sometimes post scams on their website. With your address, birth date and drivers license number, they can get any information on you that they want, including your social security number.

It is such a SCAM! I've seen it many times on all of those court shows on television! Especially the ones from the Princes in Nigeria! Give me a break! You're a Prince, and you need ME to bring your money into this country?!?!?

Not even worth considering. Grade A SCAM.
