Shuenn Jaan Machinery (impostors)

In some sense this is just the same old story: scammers pretending to be a company with payment processing difficulties as a means to recruit victims. On the other hand, you don't often see a requirement that the employee have a credit card account, by which I suspect they mean a merchant account capable of receiving payments. I strongly suspect that anyone who did have such an account would realise what an awful risk this is. I may respond to this just to see if the scam is what I think it is.
