Work-At-Home Financial Advisor?

Question

I had received an e-mail from Green Solutions, Inc. telling me about a position as a financial agent.

It is a work-at-home position and all communication will be online. There is a trial period of one month, where the new agent is paid $1500 a month plus an eight percent commission. Internet access and a bank account are required. apparently, the job entails receiving funds from stockbrokers and other clients, and channeling the funds to the client specified in the contract.

Do any of you have any experience working in this type of job? If so, what were your experiences? (You do not have to reveal the names of clients.)

Answer 1

G to the Better business B. www.BBB.org do a very tight back ground check on this firm also on-line is the federal trade commission they have in PDF format information covering on-line scams and business it even has research information on how well businesses do on the Internet and who is making money etc, etc

Answer 2

sounds like money laudering to me and very illegal. I am a financial advisor and this is ridiculous. They are just trying to cover up the funds and use you as the middleman. If caught you will go to jail and they will not have any pity on you. stay away.

be careful.

This sounds very suspicious to me. It sounds like either a money laundering scheme or a scam to get your money. I'd research this company very closely to find out if it is legitimate before getting involved in ANY way.
