A definite scam - no legitimate business uses Moneygram or asks employees to receive money in their personal bank accounts.

Just delete the emails, there is no job.

Hello eddolo,
You need to contact your banks fraud department now and let them know that you account information has been give to a fraudulent company.

[vonpaso xlura]

pqsdata.com is a Grafton-Riggs money mule site, "Payments Processing Officer" is a euphemism for a money mule, and the site is in the process of being reported for fraud. If you've given them your bank account number or anything similar, print out all emails from the scammers, with complete headers, and show them to your bank. If any fraudulent transfer appears, DO NOT WITHDRAW ANY MONEY FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER until the fraudulent money is sent back where it came from.
