KASA.cz

A company called KASA.cz is offering positions as their rep whereby you receive payment on their behalf through paypal and then transfer the payment to them for which you are supposedly paid a fee and a percentage of the sale.  Is this business legitamate?

PART 1. I am going down the path with KASA.CZ.  Started as a "text editor", where I received a series of email messages and edited them for grammer errors.  After a week or so of doing this, I was informed that the position was being terminated and, because of my stellar work to date, KASA would like me to become a representative.  I have completed the set up of my PayPal account according to their requriements; lifted limits on receiving and sending $$.  I have two primary concerns.  First, is this a money laundering scheme?  KASA claims that it cannot receive more than $350 in PayPal proceeds per month.  So, representatives receive $$ from U.S. buyers of KASA auctions.  Payment is made to a representative's PayPal account.  Once the buyer receives and accepts the goods purchased, confirming by tracking number that the purchase is acceptable, the money in the PayPal account is to be transferred to the representative's bank account.

Sounds just like the info I have read from letters sent to me for correction. I have to wonder if this is legal. In any case, it sure sounds like they are skirting the law and the text correction position is just a ploy used to bait people into doing their dirty work. My text correction duties were also suspended after correcting about half a dozen of them. Then came the hook: a position as one of their reps. I'm steering clear of this one. They owe me $160.00 and now I'm waiting to see if I actually get paid. I'm not holding my breath on that one.

There are a lot of scams from the .cz domains.   That should be all you need to know.

Interesting.  I am owed the same amout of $$.  Like you, will be interesting to see if the payment arrives.

[DPCreations]

Arrive?  Not.  Check the domain address for the most important clue.

If that's not enough then research similar problems on this forum for the same "no".

PART 2.  From there, the cash from the sales proceeds are to be either wire transferred (still not sure about this) or withdrawn by the represenative from its bank account and the currency sent to a bitcoin representative for the purchase and transmission of bitcoins to KASA.  While sending cash by USPS and/or UPS is legal, the risk of loss seems out of proportion for a company to assume.  My second concern is exposure in my PayPal account for a return.  Once the money has been moved to the representative's bank account, withdrawn and shipped to KASA, the representative is exposed.  KASA claims that all sales are "final" after acceptance of the goods and submission of the tracking number by the buyer...much like an ebay transaction.  If this is the case, fine.  I am to begin my payment acceptance role as a representative Monday, May 1.  As my experience matures, I will update you as to whether this is legitimate or not.

Very interesting. I too received the same offer after doing a week of text editing. I am owed $160 which I was told would be included with my first payment for the proposed transactions. Of course, I requested to be paid the initial $160.00 since KASA suspended the editing before the 30 day period. I am waiting to see what happens next. It would be nice if SOMEONE wrote a positive statement about KASA.  Stay tuned, stay alert!

I doubt there is a positive review to be written in regards to KASA and their text editing employment scheme. The more I read in these comments, the more I see SCAM. But why does PayPal continue to allow them to use their services? And a google search regarding KASA scams is not listed. In fact, they are given a grade of "very trustworthy" by one internet scam checker that shows it as a safe and reliable site for purchasing goods. Nothing is mentioned about the particular matter that concerns us, however. I'm contacting Paypay officials to see if they have any info to share.
