The website (datasteem.com) is Russian. Avoid.

It will involve you handling money through your own bank account. ie: Money Mule, Money Laundering.

I received that message yesterday, checked it last night (yes, I'm currently looking for work). Within an hour or two of reading it, I Googled Datasteem to look for answers about possible questions regarding legitimacy, which in turn brought me here. I'm already struggling as it is with only about $100 in the bank, which is next to nothing in this day and age. I have already notified my local church about this scam. And, for the record, I will note that the particular location is within close proximity to the Kazakhstan border.

The Brisbane address is certainly a fake.

The building, floor, etc exists, but Datasteem doesn't. The people there haven't heard from them yet, but the security guard on the ground floor remembered someone asking about the company last week.
