Hey guys!
So my girlfriend has answered a post in a private facebook group requesting if anyone would like to make money from home. The individual that posted the ad seems legit, long standing account many friends and posts and legitimate pictures. The individual says she requires someone for financial management, receiving payment from their business client, then making payout to customers for goods and services. The individual says they will train her in performing her tasks, and has requested my girlfriend to open a bank account with a specific bank. Apparently the person sells fabric and textiles, when she received her resume the individual said that she can start tomorrow using her personal account, until the new bank card is received. I'm leery of the situation as she doesn't know this person personally and also wonder why the person wouldn't use an accountant/legitimate financial adviser for this. The person claims to work multiple jobs and does not have the time to perform the financial side of their dealings. We live in Alberta, Canada so i know this will narrow down the responses. Wondering what precautions she should take concerning taxes. Essentially my girlfriend will receive money from this individual and be required to pay out her vendors i do believe. Is this going to become a big issue come tax times. What are the risks of her receiving large amounts of money and distributing from her personal bank account. Could this be some sort of scam or a way to make her a potential scapegoat for illegal dealings as a sort of middle man. We're not crazy financial savvy and i wish i knew what kind of things any of you would look to give advise, i'll respond to comments as much as i can. Plz help!P.S. the individual is requesting my girlfriend work 5 hours a day, 5 days a week for 50$/hr working out to $5000 a month without taxes. I do believe this individual will meet her soon in person and break down the whole situation, not sure if there will be paperwork or agreements involved.Thanks a lot guys!
Edit 1: After some of the comments, i'm wondering if she requests the individual open an account in their own name, giving her access could this protect her.
Update 1: The individual specifically has asked for her to send all the answers to security questions, passwords and account info. Obviously this is an absolute no go.
Update 2: This person has now sent screen shots of their business account showing in excess of 12,000$ and has said that they require my girlfriend to operate from her own account to see how she manages it before giving her access to their business account.
Update 3: Sorry guys! I was away doing the dad thing, but i have been telling her from the start that it's crazy and that there's no way she should entertain it. Your guy's overwhelming response has helped me sway her to see the light. You guys don't let me down thanks a lot but she will not be opening any new bank accounts in the near future :)
