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 part-time work based from home, but I have been asked to email/fax my account details to them, and I am not sure about this. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

I have received several home based job offers - from big international companies - offering me a generous pay for being a country representative. Everything sounded so professional, but I never gave in because in the end they always asked for my personal profile. Don't ever. Do research on identity theft. The'res a syndicate out there who will use your details to apply for a credit card, or a loan, and you'll end up being haunted by these bills.

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

Federation of the swiss watch industry FH
