Doesn't really sound like it. It could be a part of a money laundering scheme, and if it is, guess who goes to jail...

Whenever you're talking about moving money across borders there is generally a lot o f detail involved. The most important of wich is liscensing. I'd avoid it if I were you. This is always an accounting function that is handled in-house by a firm or a holding company. If you are neither of these, then it's a scam.

It is a scam. This type of scam is one variation of the African national scam. What they are really looking for is your information. Your Identity to steal. There are over 19 million hackers in the world and seventy percent of them are interested in one thing, your identity. This is up from 25% two years ago.
Now Identity Theft is not just your bank account info. They want your address, they want your bank account number, They want your social security number, They want your Drivers license number, Anything that can give them enough information to sell your Identity. They can sell your health insurance to those without, They can easily submit a change of address card with the post office and get your mail, run up new accounts in your name that you never know of because your mail is forwarded. They can get a drivers license in your name, A birth certificate, a new social security card. They can sell your identity twenty, thirty, a hundred times over. It is unfortunate that the laws apply that if we do not repond to bad debts within sixty days we can be legally liable to pay them, even those we do not know about because our identity has been stolen. It is also a shame, but, a reality that the honest hard working people need to protect ourselves from these opportunists.
Our lives have been opened up to scammers of all types, wireless internet systems allow people with lap top computers to drive around neighborhoods and motels and even fast food resturaunts and gain access to our personal information.
More than likely sites like the one you are talking about, is using you to launder money stollen from a identity theft victim. And to get enough of your information to make you a victim.
I find it unbelievable that we send people to prison to educated them where they learn to be this type of thief. Then we are guilty until we prove ourselves innocent and then can still be liable for a percentage of the theifs gain.
Please do not follow-up on this opportunity to not only be a participant in fraud but also a victim.

they are normally scams, not sure on the legality but keep a close eye on your own cash and don't give your account details to strangers

Probably not, it has a very high chance of being fraudulent.
It is smart of you to ask a question before you get in trouble.
