I actually was involved with this scam VERBATIM, in its stages but the Co. was MORELE.NET (and theyre still are running an auction site on-line under that name last I checked); 1-you get hired to edit letters but you will NEVER get paid for this, I even insisted on only working for a few days before I was given a "good faith payment" and the day they were due to pay me was when I was offered the "promotion" because the "editing positions were being put on hold temporarily". (this is when they start to entice you with the possibility of greater income while you re-write their correspondences-fake ones) 2- they offer you the job of being a "Representative" because of the Polish/Poland Paypal restrictions (This I do believe has some truth to it but that's not why they have put this scheme into place). They even actually had me type up their protocol for newly hired "Representatives", who would be earning a flat rate of $3000 plus 5% commission for every transaction they received.
Then, after a supposed customer purchases something on auction, MORELE.NET (or Tradera.com) makes it seem like they are providing your paypal account to that customer for them to deposit funds for their purchase (because since they are located in the country of Poland they have a daily limit of $350 in Paypal). You are then to keep your commission, and then transfer the remaining amount into the MORELE/Tradera paypal account.
After the "required amount of time", they have their "phony" customer claim they did not get the purchase or were not satisfied with it and because Paypal's policy is to always protect the buyer, they automatically and instantly return the "fake customer's" funds to them, deducting them from YOUR account that you have already transferred the funds to MORELE/Tradera (technically in Paypals eyes, MORELE/Tradera are insignificant and the transaction is between you and the the "buyer" who deposited into your account anyway.) They will then likely either stall unti lthey can milk you for a few more transactions, telling you to "just keep the funds from the next transaction to cover the inconvenience of the first transaction issues", or they will just stop communicating with you completely. You won't get full names of anyone real or any addresses that I saw.
HOWEVER, the one loop hole that puts them in jeopardy is when their "Representatives" don't make the transfer out of their account to MORELE/Tradera Paypal account, then their entire training and grooming and developing of you for their profit (likely from stolen CC) is lost and they only get HALF of their scammed funds. The good news is, if you haven't spent any of it, you are not left with a negative balance when Paypayl reverses the $ back out of your account for the "buyer dispute". I am not sure you want disputes and charge backs on your paypal history though. If you DO transfer the funds to them, they get DOUBLE WIN WIN, they get the funds that you sent them, and they get the funds from the dispute when it gets reversed, all because of how Paypal refunds $ back to the buyer. If Paypal held the funds before refunding them, they could potentially be saving a LOT of stolen funds from going back into thieves hands, if they would just review the circumstances quickly first.
These guys, and many many others, are monopolizing on PayPal's blatant refusal to revisit their buyer/seller dispute policy, which is a blanket "Buyer is always right, and will always get their $ money back" without even giving you a chance, and these guys have just found a way to make that policy work into their scam. If Paypal changes the policy to stop "auto refunding ALL buyers", I think it would shut these guys down completely.
Otherwise they have a well oiled, well managed, and with endless recruits to jump in as "representatives", scam that will continue to enable them to take stolen funds, to steal your funds and to hurt and financially corrupt and bankrupt unknowing, good guys just looking for a second income. I'm not bashing Paypal, but without their dispute policy this scam would not exist and could of never worked.
