Here is an example of an email [email protected], goes by the name Kristin Bragin, EOShop Support. Another one, [email protected], goes by the name Donnette Gilham. Look for subject heading, "Job offer notice for (Your Name)." Eoshop.cz seems to a real online shop all in Czech language. Beware, unless the email address is from Eoshop's internal email server - [email protected], it's not a real address. It's every bit a scam if it's coming from any address other than Eoshop. These scammers start off by offering $5 for 1KB of text that you edit for English/American speaking customers. You'll edit web content, letters, emails to their customers, representatives, sales lots, auctions... then after you've edited (passed their scam test), they'll offer you $5,000-$7,000 in sales and 5% commission for using your PayPal account to collect money from customers. Customers could be legit, but these scammers are not. Then you're supposed to transfer the money out of PayPal into your bank account, take the money out of your bank account and send the cash via UPS to somewhere in Russian, or the Czech Republic. Here is another email address: [email protected] I have reported them to PayPal and forwarded all the correspondence to the FBI. Do yourself a favor, research everything and don't fall for these scams. There's millions of scams, like cockroaches, hatching every second.

See some of their "terms":

You do not have to search for a product or search for a buyer. This is done by special staff.
You need to be in touch with us and manage paypal payments.

1. First, you will receive a payment to your PAYPAL. Then you transfer the payment into your Bank account. When will all of the checks you send cash to our agent in your country. This is a convenient and safe way since you don't have to do international transfers.
2. You don't have to be in constant touch by phone. You will not to call your customers. When you receive the payment, our specialist will contact you and give you instructions. This is very important because it is necessary to do everything quickly.
3. According to our laws we cannot take money from our customers. We only provide services.
4. 1. We pay taxes for each of you ourself (sic) once a year, but once a year we give you 1099 form to fill out so we will be able to pay your taxes. But you get your salary in full.

All legal. We have been working for a long time and our main task is to resist the fraudsters.
We will never ask for your Bank details. We will not ask you to do international transfers.
We do our business safe and give you the opportunity to earn together with us.

Lawyers of our company together with UPS representatives composed an explanatory letter about Sending, transporting, and delivering cash. The document turned out to be very large. It is written Using complex legal terms and includes many items. Many of these items do not concern our work. If you briefly state the information - it sounds like this:

UPS does not prohibit the receipt and dispatch of cash and any valuables in the following cases:
- the parcel is not sent outside the US
- the package is well and high-quality packed (the contents are hidden from the eyes and not palpable)
- the documents do not indicate that this is cash (UPS recommends indicating the marks, documents, collectible cards)
- when sending a parcel, a paid delivery option is selected.

All these measures are necessary to ensure that nothing happens with the delivery in the delivery process.
Follow our instructions exactly. In this case, our work will not pose difficulties.
This letter provides you with the details and our rules that will apply to your new position.

Read it carefully as there are several rules that must be adhere to:

1. Redirect all e-mail traffic that you receive from our clients directly to us. *Do not under any circumstances reply to the messages or inquire for more information. Your relationship will be solely as the transaction processor, all administrative issues or otherwise will be handled by us. Any disregard of this rule will make our clients nervous and may cause them to stop any pending transactions. The average questions are usually about the pending sales or future sales, again this is our department, please keep in mind that one of your job requirement is to transfer any/all these inquiries directly to us.

2. Please make an attempt to check your e-mail account twice daily, preferably in the morning and in the evening. This is a very important position and it should show that you are available to us at least during the business day.

3. This is not optional. Please reply to all our email messages that we will send to you. Most of our transactions will depend on an answer back from you and we may have to stop a transaction if we cannot get in contact with you to verify your availability or clarify any errors.

4. Most Important Rule: Please have your phone with you during the business day. (preferably without a voicemail answering system).

5. Your position will be activated following a call from our company verifying your identity, the accuracy and operational function of the number that you have provided.

Thanks Terminator5. I coach folks on scam avoidance. This one got me. It's humbling.

This my not be posted in the right place. I put my reply to a previous post with the same scam signature.

This is really a Paypal scam.

I find it interesting how the content of each of these emails is identical. It must be passed around or posted on a board somewhere.

[Removed - AJ]

My contact claims to be from an Electronics Co in Czech Republic, DatArt.cz It's been a weird experience so far, I almost like it, but I am no dummy. I've given my Paypal account, but nothing other than my name (not full name) and business phone number (which will not help them get into my account either way).

I also was contacted by Datart.cz to edit text. It is kinda fun but am concerned it is a scam. The texts I am editing are too leading. They want me to become a rep to take PayPal payments. Seems shaddy.
This is day 4 of doing the tasks and I found this warning via Google search.
What is their "end game"?

They've already told you what their end game is ...

They want you to launder money for them. The money you will receive will come from victims of other scams and when they complain to PayPal and the authorities, the only traceable details will be yours.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
