TSM Group

This job description is terribly vague, but still specific enough to recognise as a money mule scam. Note, specifically, the duty to "administer day-to-day financial responsibilities for clients." This means receive payments and forward them. Specifically, it means to receive stolen or fraudulent payments and launder them or be defrauded yourself.

I note that my archives have one other instance of a "TSM". Related? Probably not in any direct way, but who knows?

I could find no other reports of this scam at the time I posted it, although a couple of mail archives also received the spam.
