GENERAL PURPOSE
Financial clerks govern many different financial transactions by keeping track of a company’s money and interacting with customers. They keep records, help customers, and carry out financial transactions.
WHAT DOES A FINANCIAL CLERK DO?
– Process payments from clients and direct funds to a project team;
– Keep files of payments that have come in and of payments that are still due;
– Figure out how much customers owe and send bills out to the customer.
SCHEME OF WORK
1. Receive payments from customers using your own account;
2. Mark client’s invoice as paid or partially paid;
3. Direct money to a project team using Wire Transfer/ Western Union and other financial tools;
JOB ACTIVITIES
We sometimes have customers that owe us funds and pay us in financial instruments cashable only in the local area. Since we work all over the world and our office located in the UK, our project team for example in Sweden and our customer in Canada, it is much easier for our clients to transfer money to our Financial Clerk who are in the same area and who will handle with all the details.
WHY DO WE NEED FINANCIAL CLERK?
1. Reduces expenses for offices maintenance (as a Financial Clerk is an official company’s representative, so the construction and maintenance of the office is not required.);
2. Our service is increased (as the international transfer needs about 5 days to reach our official local office and then a couple of days to reach the performers branch. Consequently, it slows down our work significantly. It would be much faster if a Financial Clerk receives the money and directs them to the appropriate department/branch.);
3. Improves quality of reporting (each Financial Clerk is responsible for one’s region. That system allows us to quickly and accurately make up all the reports and avoid their mess up.)
NOTE the Key telltale Red Flags that this a classic money mule operation:
- Interview: Not required for part-time positions.
- Job Type: Home Based / Part-Time.
- Account for work: We do not provide with a bank account.
For this work, you need to use your personal or open new one special. - Receive payments from customers using your own account;
- Direct money to a project team using Wire Transfer/ Western Union and other financial tools
No legitimate company will ever hire ANYONE without a face to face interview, background check or drug screen! No legitimate company would EVER require you to use or obtain your OWN bank account to handle their customers monetary transactions! Directing money via Wire Transfer/Western Union is the way overseas scammers get their hands on the stolen/counterfeit funds YOU will be held responsible for, because once the money is picked up on their end it’s untraceable and they walk away scott free leaving you to repay the stolen funds and face possible prosecution!
What To Do If You Are A Victim
If you have fell victim to an employment scam, you need to contact your bank immediately and close your account IF you have provided this information to the scammers. Next file a police report with your local authorities and then file a complaint with the FBI’s internet crime center at http://www.ic3.gov/
If you provided your Social Security number to them, you need to contact the 3 credit bureaus- TransUnion, Equifax and Experian, and place a fraud alert on your report. They can steal your identity and may try and obtain credit in your name. This will alert you for at least 90 days about any suspicious activity. I highly recommend you get some sort of identity protection such as the services offered through companies like LifeLock-Visit Their Website Here!
