Aro Supplies looks like a ripoff Tallin Estonia
I was contacted from a job search board. The company wants people to research prices for manufacturing material and will pay $2600/mo. which is suspiciously high.
Also, the Embassy of Estonia told me that the company's address does not exist, and for the first payment they were having a check sent from one of their creditors for an amount over my payment and I ws to deduct my money and wire the remainder to them.
This is most likely a scam and possibly a money laundering scheme.

FBI response to Aro Scheme

Thank you for your submission of information via the FBI.Gov web site.
A review of the information you provided revealed that you are being approached over the internet to participate in one of many variations of an advance fee scheme being perpetrated by individuals from various West African nations particularly Nigeria.
The advance fee schemes invariably involve you putting up money in advance of receiving any purported winnings. This may also be accomplished
by you depositing a check into your personal bank account and then sending the balance of the funds to the alleged company/employer. After a few days, the check is determined to be fraudulent in that it is not authorized by the issuing company. Your bank will then hold you liable for the
money that you sent to your "employer." Other schemes also ask for a bank account to transfer funds to. Shortly thereafter, unbeknownst to
you, your personal bank account is then used to launder criminal proceeds and/or unauthorized withdrawals are made from the account.
Victims have lost substantial funds in the past and all requests for travel to foreign locations should be ignored. Inasmuch as the FBI
receives reports of this type of activity on a regular basis there is no need to forward any additional information to the FBI. The United States Secret Service has developed an excellent, detailed description of this fraud scheme which can be accessed at:

other matters is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
