Company sent email re: hiring me as Personal assistance, with first "task" to contact Russian artist about a painting. Eamil sent, then there "time tracker" kept popping up for to re-sign in. Did more research on company & found other complaints about firm with same issues. Had to do deep clean on system to remove malware. Looks like scam to me!!

I just got off the phone with the client in regards to the ART project. Your additional assistance is required.
Our client tried to pay Money Gram on-line from their corporate account. Money Gram and Western Union advertises it’s possible to submit payments online, but when you try to send more than $1,000 a day from the account it won’t allow that much. I called Money Gram and they told me you have to do that from any Money Gram office.
Our client told me they spent like an hour trying to do something online, as they are used to do everything from their cash management online and talked to Money Gram customer care but no luck. They need your assistance at this point because it was not possible to send the money online.
So, they want their assistant take care of everything. Since the artist requires only Money Gram, our client will pay you the money for the art item(s) in advance plus your bonus and you will Money Gram artist. You will be paid additional $300 for that assignment.
First of all, I want you to understand that part-time assistant is not only virtual work from home. You have to work on assignment locally. Assisting, with corporate gifting in one of your responsibilities. Our client trusts us because this is our existing client, they have already purchased a lot of stuff using our services.
Normally, you would pay Money Gram with the company card. However, as per the contract, you will get the card only once you qualify your trial period. This is our company policy and we simply cannot provide company cards 1st week and then spend time on checking every expense.
Please visit your member area for details and download your direct deposit form.
This is exactly the same as we use for payroll as well. We expect our client will place deposit of approx.:
- $7,100 (painting). Shipping will be paid additionally.
- $1,100 (shipping)
- $200-400 (approx. Money Gram fees – might need to re-confirm with them)
- $300 (Your Bonus)

I got the same email. I told him that he could send the money through paypal and I would be happy to complete the task. He sent the next task but this one has not been resolved. Wish there was something we could do, I was looking forward to the paycheck but I am not willing to give out my information for it.

- Last email I told him that I was not going to give him the information about my bank and that the company should provide the tools needed to complete the task. Now the login dosn't work. I guess I just got fired. I was hoping to hold out the 30 days and force payment.
