Yep, it's a real company, but this offer is as fake as they get. Why? Because real companies don't ask people to process payments in this manner. The wording of the email makes it very clear it's a money transfer/mule scam. They always use the same phrases: unable to take international payments, can't open a bank account in another country, worried they'll lose customers, need help coordinating payments from customers in your area, blah-dee-blah.
The company who really makes Eucerin has been victimized and won't be able to do much about it except spread the word that this is a fake offer. A scammer has taken their good name and made it look like they're the ones looking for staff. There's no corporate web site or email address referenced in the message, and they ask you for information that's discriminatory (age, sex, current occupation). The beauty of when foreigners try to fake us out is they always use the same lines. Nothing new to see here, unless this is the first time you've seen one of these. If so, we recommend you browse through our other Money Transfer/Mule offers and see just how common this message really is among phishers.
If you apply for this "job" be prepared to lose between $250-$2000 of your own money, your entire identity, and your peace of mind (and the house, car, and everything else when you suddenly can't make your payments). No, the identity theft might not happen right away, but rest assured it WILL happen. And as your name becomes more and more prevalent in the world of scammers, you might just get the added bonus of facing charges for crimes committed in YOUR name.
Good fun, right?
