Recently, I had applied for a job at thekon.com and I believe now that they are a fraudulent company dedicating to employment scams. This is the email that they sent me:

----------------------------------
Good day.

It's time to propose you a magnificent position of collaboration with us.

Duties:
The major role of the agent is handling of orders from American clients.

Conditions:
Age 21 +
US nationality
An ability of being in touch with the manager during the whole working day
An ability devoting at least 3 - 4 hours a day to your work
Carefulness


Income:
The agent’s profit consists of the guaranteed monthly payment of 2,300 USD and the fee of 5 percents for every successfully completed order. The approximate annual salary of each employee will be 46k -56k USD.

You do not have to possess any special knowledge for this job position. I do not doubt that any responsible person meeting the list of terms will manage this job quite efficiently.
If you are interested in collaboration with us please e-mail back, and we'll reach you in the nearest time to offer some additional details.
---------------------------------------------

Since I had applied several months before they sent the email, I did more research and nothing about them seemed suspicious so I continued with the process until they did not respond to my "employment agreement"; at this point I had to send my ID and I did.

I have no open bank accounts or credit at the moment and I am desperate for advice.
Please help.
