Fexco/western union sub contractor scam

I received a scam email from someone claiming they wanted to hire me as their sub agent for Fexco/Western Union. They say I would use my own bank account to transfer money in and out of. This was a total red flag for me. Their website looks very legit. The other thing that was shady thought was that they say they are located in Ireland but only were hiring Americans. Watch out everyone, the forum where I received this message has already stated this is a scam and some have already given their bank account numbers. If you have, cancel your accounts ASAP.

Fexco wasn't the company doing the scam. Scammers (phishers) were using a legitimate company's name (Fexco) to lure people to their scam. Fexco warns of the scam email on their website.

I don't want people to think the scammers were Fexco.
