This is a money laundering scam. They will direct ill-gotten receipts (from fraudulent eBay auctions, for example) to your bank account, then ask you to withdraw 90-95% of the amount received and send it to them by Western Union. You get to keep 5-10% "commission".
But they never ship the goods they sold (or money they scammed from other people, etc.), and you're the one left sitting on the hot seat. You'll get sued and can even go to jail for fraud and money laundering.

Holy crap. This has scam written all over it. First they don't mention any of the "american major bank authorities" specifically.
Second, the grammar sucks. You would think for a legitimate job ad, they would have the time/resources to translate correctly.
But the biggest red flag is that they want to "transfer" funds into your account. For that they will need you to give them your bank account info. NOT a good idea.
You can try and check this company out with the Better Business Bureau, but it sounds like a BS scam to me.
Things that sound too good to be true (especially on the Net) almost ALWAYS are.

It's a wire transfer scam. Don't do it. They send you fraudulent checks and money orders, you deposit it into your bank account. Then you have to send them "their share". Although the checks clear initially, after a week or two they bounce, leaving you responsible for the balance.
Google wire transfer scam. You'll get alot of sites explaining what it is. Remember the old cliche: If it sounds to good to be true.....it probably is.
