I have been offered a representative position with a Czech company known as Alza.cz. It is a company much in the same style as Ebay. It has been in business for over 20 years. They employ quite a number of representatives in the same capacity as they have offered me.
It works like this.......Alza.cz is located in The Czech Republic and is limited by Paypal to $350.00 in their Paypal account. This is unsuitable for a multimillion dollar business. To alleviate this complication, Alza offers positions to selected representatives to handle and forward payments for sold items. The customer buys the item, pays with Paypal, the funds are sent to the representative's Paypal account and the tracking number allows the funds to become available. The funds are then transferred to Alza.cz by the representative. The representative is basically a middleman in the payment process with their Paypal account.
Alza.cz pays the representative a monthly salary based on sales volume which is supplemented by payments of either 5% or 10% based on volume handled by the representative for Alza. These sales commissions are paid immediately upon the payment of the sale being successful.
The potential liablity for the representative is in the fact that the original purchasing customer has up to 180 days under Paypal policy to file a case or complaint on the initial payment transfer if they are not satisfied with the transaction. This makes the representative responsible and has a detrimental effect on their Paypal account. Alza.cz states they will handle returns and refunds accordingly; however the representative is entirely limited in resolving the transaction until the purchasing customer and Alza.cz handle the appropriate return transaction properly and timely.
Has anyone had experience as a representative for Alza.cz? Good or bad?
Thankyou in advance.

I was wondering what ever happened with the money you received. I checked it is definitely a money laundering scheme.

LOL! Signed up to say I just today finished a weeks worth of text editing for Mall.cz and got my 'edit job is suspended, please be a representative' email.
I was willing to see text editing thing through due to no risk whatsoever, but UPS'ing money? HA!!!
Question, what's to stop you recieveing it, waiting for the customer to actually get the product, and just keeping the money? What could they actually do?

Oh no doubt, I've read the thread. Just saying, it's not much of a scam if there really isn't money going to or fro anywhere.
Just seems sort of silly IMO.

What private information? All they have is an email, and maybe a phone number... Not much you can do about that.
And I'm just guessing, I'm savy enough to not give out sensitive info (i'm in IT). Just curious...

Not referring to you or Alza specifically, but to scams in general where it isn't always about direct loss of money. Scams are also be collecting private information.

What's to stop Mall.cz from shipping a rock to the buyers and they file a dispute or a chargeback (extra $20 fee per chargeback) on the money sent to you? You will lose more than you received. Are you going to wait 180 days per transaction? if you don't send the scammers their money so they can ship, their scheme with you may not last that long at all.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

I Would not worry about the first part, they would've told you your job is no longer done they where we're grooming you.
As long as you have not recieved anything cash or it slipped thru
thru Paypal account you are safe all they do is the same scam.
