Hi!

I am a complete stranger to BitCoin, but I got offered a job described as 'customer service' helping a guy manage his wallet. He wants to create an e-wallet for me on localbitcoins.com, put his money in and then for me to carry out orders for him as he sends the details on. It seems super straight forward, and he says he is too busy to do it all himself.

Is this a legit job offer? Is it even legal? I have no idea how this stuff works and I have been trying to research it all. I don't want to agree to something that will get either of us in trouble.

I'd appreciate any help on the matter. Thanks.

If you do not want to get cheated by him ; just forget this offer.
Or else give that person my profile to manage his funds; Grin

I have several charity tasks pending to perform.

It's pretty strange because he would have no need to use another person for Localbitcoins trades. It doesn't ask for KYC unless you're handling large amounts. Did he talk about how much money would be involved? You'll probably be aiding in money laundering with your personal information at worst, and you get an easy job at best.

It's legit and legal under normal circumstances, but this sounds shady, so take everything with a grain of salt. Post any additional details here so the community can help you.

The trading you would be doing would be pretty straightforward though, if you're worried about that.

think about this, if you were him/her would you hire someone to have access to your BTC funds? do you think his/her reason is valid or enough i youwere him/her?

Anyways I am not that familiar with the website, maybe there is an option there where you can sign in as a trader for someone and that you can not withdraw his/her funds and maybe that is the reason why he/she is confident that a guy like you can not transfer funds away from his/her account.

If someone wants you to manage his money, what do you think about it? I wouldn't let that happen.

I've heard of same offer before but it requires his person to commit transfers through PayPal and that's a scam. And you know what's the description of customer service than a personal assistant, as adolfin said, maybe he just wanted you to verify an account for him or likely to use you for something unethical.

(basically) Free money & a guy who is too busy to manage it? That's already two big red flags.

Why in hell would he want someone with absolutely no experience nor history in this field to manage his money? I'm 99% sure he's attempting to scam you one way or another.

Either he's longconning to misuse your LBC identity to launder money et al, or he wants you to deposit some of your money and will probably run with it.

Okay, great. Thanks. I will wait to hear more on the matter.

Do you know this guy in real life or is he a complete stranger? That might be the deal-breaker here as you didn't really mention it.

Please be careful. It may be a scam attempt, eg. he shows you how to make easy money with trades and wants you to invest your money, too. Never trust anyone you dont know when it comes to investments and supicious job offers

I don't think people will believe a stranger with $$$. At least, I would not. I think it's a trap although there is no way to scam you.
