A correspondent reported this one. Here's a hint: a place called "Sydney Car Centre" isn't likely to have a Hong Kong country code website. This is a money mule scam.

Subject: New Vacancies In Our Company. [letter id: EE66809897050K]
While we may have high expectations of our associates, we also give them high rewards. Imagine being part of a stable organization with a sterling reputation - a place where the Sydney Car Centre is an integral part of all that we do. With our car centre personality, you'll not just succeed - you'll thrive. And, with our strong commitment to promoting from within, you'll definitely enjoy your rise to the top.
Today the Sydney Car Centre is looking for an industrious regional assistant to fasten the process of the delivery of customer payments to the suppliers. The position offered is a part-time job, and will only require from you to be available for 1-2 hours a day.
As a regional assistant, you will be supposed to operate with the payments from those customers, based in your country. You will be expected to accept 2-3 transactions to your bank account every week, make certain calculations about every transaction (you will be precisely instructed about it), & transfer the funds to the suppliers by means of western Union/Money Gram less your fee & the charges of the Western Union/Money Gram. You will be continuously communicating with the manager from the head office, who will instruct you & give advice regarding every new payment.
The ideal candidate will be industrious, goal-oriented person, with the availability of a personal/business bank account suitable to be used for the company needs. Knowledge of English, computer literacy and sociability are appreciated.
The company guarantees to pay NET 10% fee out of the amount of every payment you dealt with and to provide you with the regular income & flexible schedule. All the related expenses you might have (like the Western Union/Money Gram chargers, related expenses on traveling) are covered by the company.
The more detailed information is available on our web-site http://vacancy-970089.SCARCENTRE.HK/vacancies.php , where you can fill in the on-line application form for this position.
We would be glad to welcome you in our team!
We are looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible!
Yours sincerely, Shawn Sosa

I have also seen the same scam using the domain "SYDNEYCC.HK".
I've gotten dozens of them as well, using GMAIL. I wonder if GMAIL is perhaps allowing them to contact us and knows about it or has given them our information...
Gmail is not divulging information. Spammers have advanced techniques for harvesting email addresses. If you've sent email to anyone who has contracted a virus on their computer, your email address is probably on a spam list.
Seems like SCC also operates out of Taiwan: sydneycarcentre.tw
Ok, I'm getting a new company now.
Called Leader Company, using the same ruse. Just got it about 20 minutes ago. Anyone else ever hear of this company?
They're now using the domain "sydneycar.kg". I don't even know what country that is off the top of my head. The spam is followed by a bunch of mostly numeric rubbish in white-on-white text, which I haven't included.

KG is Kyrgyzstan, somewhat unlikely as a location for Sydney Car Centre ..... I doubt if these scammmig vermin scum even know where Sydney is, let alone Kyrgyzstan.
google has not betrayed us! don`t be fool.
They're all over the world: now they've registered "sydcarcen.ph". (".ph" is the Philippines.) Other than that, the spam remains much the same.

Just want to know, is this a scam?!
Yes, it looks like a reshipper scam. Avoid any job which involves being a middle-man for re-shipment of goods or transferring money. They are all scams.
What about vision logistics?
A simple name really isn't enough to go on, Anonymous. It's possible that there is a perfectly legitimate company called "Vision Logistics" out there, but your would-be employer has nothing to do with them. In the absence of good evidence to the contrary, you're safest to assume that it's a scam. Scammers throw those job offers around like confetti, after all.
I answered this add because I need a job desperately.
Vision Logistics Solutions is a scam. I had this checked out by a reliable source they said it seems to be legit. Well, it isn't. I called one of the companies that sells one of items I was to relabel and ship out. The persons name that was listed as the recipient at my address, had her credit card stolen. They have a great website and all the right paperwork and will talk to you live. Now, I am worry about my identity being taken as well. The old saying if it sounds too good to be true, IT IS!
