    Recently i got a job offer through email (seemed legit and not a scam) but i need some 2nd opinions


    Good morning, I am **********r, manager from Mirasoft company.
    We've found your e-mail at www.ebay.com web site and we have business proposal for you.
    As I see you have high positive feedback rating and have good experience in online
    business, so I think we can be a partners.
    Mirasoft is a professional offshore software development company situated in
    Kiev, Ukraine (Eastern Europe). We are provides IT outsourcing services for Western
    Europe and US. Innovative Offshore Software Development, Internet Applications,
    E-commerce Solutions, Web Portals and etc.

    Till this moment we've collaborated with our partner in USA. He processed online
    payments for us with merchant account on http://www.cardserviceunlimited.com and Paypal.
    But unfortunately he closed his business and stop working with us due financial crises.
    Cardserviceunlimited.com doesn't work in Ukraine, so we have no chance to open account
    here. We are looking for new partner in USA.

    Our company have many clients from United states. Most of our clients prefer pay
    with USA payment systems like credit cards, paypal, wire transfers.

    https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-approved-signup-countries-outside

    You can see at this link that Ukraine country only approved for sending money
    thouth Paypal system, so we cant receive payments directly to our paypal account.

    Our company need ability to process paypal payments from our clients
    If you have paypal account we can be a partners


    Your salary will depend on quantity of transfers you'll get.
    You will get 7% from each transaction amount.
    All fees will be covered by us.

    If you able to help process this type of payment and interested in partnership
    please email me : ************

    Best wishes

    I'm finding it really difficult to accept that anyone could actually imagine this might be legitimate??!! You're kidding us, right? :eek::p

    If you're serious, I have a certain bridge to sell you ... :D
