I received an email from a Swiss watch company called TSM from Geneva, Switzerland. Does anybody know if this is a legitimate company? They've offered me an administrative support positiion to work from home. I appreciate your feedback.

Thank you.

One word sums these kind of offers up - SCAM!!
Especially when they are out of the blue.

I too have received the same offer. I am a bit leary of this as they ask for your bank account number in order to pay you via bank transfer.

Has anyone got any info?

I found out that this is a scam. http://www.scamfraudalert.com/showthread.php?t=4982

Hello,Do you work with it?Is it a legitimate company since I've received the same message.

I will be really grateful.

I was also offered a position with TSM and I have a feeling that it is a scam but does anyone have any info. Or proof. It sounded really good and I took it serious until I read the part about the "bank account". I asked them a question about flex time via email last week and, as of today, I've had no response.
Does anyone know anything... much appreciated

Did you ever hear back from this company... I too have received the same email, and sent them my resume... they are now asking for banking information... HMmmm

I was sent the same proposal from Nina Morelli and asked her by e-mail if TSM have a address and web site. I'm still waiting for an answer.

I also received an email from them 3 times, but haven't responded as yet. I too, would appreciate any feedback.

I really don't understand you people. Don't you read through the thread before adding a post? The first reply said scam. The #4 note included a link to a report about the scam.

In addition, the fact that they asked for banking info is a RED FLAG that should warn off anyone.

Yet FIVE people posted notes AFTER those warnings asking for feedback. What more did they need?

People were agreeing with them and sharing their experiences, no need to get testy.

Did you actually read the responses? They all basically said; I got the letter too, is it legitimate? This was after 2 others responded saying it was a scam. Which show they didn't bother to read the responses before adding a note. No I don't think I was testy enough!

OK... if want to let something as little as that get you upset... then so be it.

I have also received emails from them. They are a scam. If you need to know any more info go to suckerswanted.blogspot.com.

Okay, here we go. I too followed this to the point of having over $4000 deposited into my account, of which I was supposed to forward all but 5% to Czechoslovakia. I decided to inform my bank that I thought this was a fraudulent transaction, even though it was deposited via Paypal (which by the way I indicated I did not want to accept, due to potential problems by TSM's own admission). What I suspect will happen is that the bank, when they finish looking into this, will find that the $4000+ was fraudulently obtained from an unsuspecting customer's account which has been electronically comprimised. Even though a bank might "clear" a deposit in 1 to 10 business days (this is government mandated so funds aren't tied up too long for it's customers), the actual item (cash deposits from fraudulently obtained funds, fake money orders, cashier's checks, etc.) could take up to a month or more to properly and completely clear at their originating source). Of course then what happens is that the bank wants it's money back from you (the 95% that you were supposed to transfer), but by that time the funds are long gone and irrecoverable from Western Union or Moneygram, and you are on the hook for the money. Oh, the cash is still in my account, waiting for bank resolution, and I haven't heard from TSM for about 2 weeks now, after they called twice within the 2 days after that deposit was made. Don't you think that if this was legitimate that TSM would be getting a little excited that their money was being held up this long? The term for this is "money-mule", and it involves money laundering, along with it all the criminal charges that law enforcement could nail you with. My advice, spread the word about TSM, and all the other crackpots that want to take advantage of those of us looking for legitimate work. Oh, by the way, I got another similar "job offer" today, this time from a company claiming to be called Limbo Express from someone named Dmitri. RUN LIKE HELL, DO NOT LOOK BACK, stay away from anything like this. Hope this helps.

Dear Sir,

We can assure you this email is a scam. As "real" Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH we receive since last November many enquiries about TSM.

We state this scam damages our reputation and we triy to close down the webiste www.timeswissmade.com, kind of "window site" builded up only to justify the scam.

For any information, please visit www.fhs.ch or email at info(at)fhs.ch

Thank you
