Description
They used the actual Account Manager's name from this reputable company and used it as a front for their scam. Below are the emails that they sent me. They claim to be a steel manufacturer but the real Alpine Landscapes is a landscaping company (imagine that). If you do send them your personal information they send you a MOU to be signed and that's when I assume they get your bank information so they can "pay you" when in reality they are stealing your money. My name is Pablo Toledo, and I am the Account Manager for Alpine Landscapes. I received your CV from LinkedIn, indicating that you are interested in the Accounts Receivable and Payable remote position that we listed on LinkedIn. Please email me if you are interested so that I may provide you with additional information about the opportunity. Alpine Landscapes (00347.HK) is a key subsidiary of China's Alpine Landscapes. We are one of the major manufacturers and suppliers of steel goods with distinguishing qualities based on experience. Alpine Landscapes reported a net loss of ¥7.12 billion (about US$969 million) in 2024, a significant rise from the previous year's loss of ¥3.26 billion. The company's financial situation is expected to remain problematic until early 2025. Despite stock buybacks (¥26.5 million repurchased), revenue and profitability declined in Q1, with additional losses expected. Alpine Landscapes analysis, we discovered that late payments from clients in North America and Europe are the leading source of financial difficulty. This difficulty has not only hampered our efforts to penetrate the steel market in the aforementioned region as desired, but has also resulted in untimely remittance of balance payments for products supplied. As previously reported, we are currently experiencing difficulty conducting business (i.e. collecting payments from our clients) in North America. This decision has compelled us to hire a representative to function as an Account Receivable Agent in North America (the United States and Canada) on a 12-month contract. As an Account Receivable Agent, you will be in charge of collecting all account receivables owed to Alpine Landscapes in the region, directly supporting sales operations. We still have customers in the above region who have not met the payment schedule of 30 days after confirming receipt of products delivered to them in good condition, and Steel Giant Tianjin Limited is currently owed approximately $6,200,000.00 from various customers in various regions of the United States of America and Canada. After considering various options for addressing this issue, and based on research and previous experiences, we believe that having a representative/account receivable agent in the same region as our customers will make it easier for them to comply and pay on time, which is one of the primary reasons why we require a representative who can easily communicate with our customers via email and phone. We will furnish you with invoices and statistics for all outstanding payments after you have been completely accredited as our corporate representative under our legally binding representative employment agreement (Memorandum of Understanding). With your acknowledgement of this email, we would like you to complete the information requested below. We confirm in good faith that, as compensation for your services, you/your company will be entitled to a 5% - 8% commission on each completed transaction, as well as a $5,880 USA/CAD monthly allowance (payable every 30 days beginning with the date the contract agreement is signed by both parties) to cover out-of-pocket expenses such as telephone bills, faxes, and so on. Job Type: Contract Duration: 12 months. Time Required: 3-5 hours each week. Contact: Pablo Toledo. Sector: Special Steel Allowance: $70,560 per year plus 8% commission (Company) Allowance: $70,560 annually plus 5% commission (individual) 1.
