I received an email today, which I'll quote for you here:
....with the web link enclosed as follows....
http://www.vernioztt.com/application/
Now, I've reviewed the website and there is quite a bit of information put up if it's a scam, but I'm unsure as to why any company would require an "employee" to do this.....obviously it seems too good to be true, and it most likely is, but seeing as how I'm currently unemployed anything like this is worth a second look.
Thoughts?

This is like the oldest trick in the book.
Any job requiring you to put money into your account, withdraw some portion and send it overseas using Western Union is a scam. A global company would have their own bank accounts and ability to transfer money with using middlemen and Western Union.
I was waiting to read about the Nigerian royalty, but I couldn't find it anywhere on the website! I've never seen something like this for a real company before. Swatch actually exists, that's what confuses me.
If it were really Swatch don't you think they would have directed you to apply at the Swatch website >_<
For instance a Swatch job page looks like this: http://www.swatchgroup.com/en/human_resources/job_offers
Not the gobbliegook you have.
But the link I've supplied takes you to the same website.
No, it takes you to a cloned page off of this site: http://www.vernioztt.com/
Sweet god do you want to be scammed? You can't even find the finance officer job on the REAL Swatch site.
no it doesn't, it takes you to a website that looks the same but isn't run by swatch at all. see how the url is for this website: http://www.vernioztt.com/ ? it's all part of the scam so you trust it a little more.
if you want an explanation of what the scam is, it is this:
1. you get fake cheques sent to you
2. you cash the cheques into you account, than send them money
3. a month later the cheques bounce and the bank takes back all the money you thought you were cashing.
the scammer gets a bunch of real money from you, and your out $$$$.
Yeah I know it's a scam, but it's the best one I've ever seen!
No, it's a bullshit scam and it's obvious. The only reason it looks good is because you're desperate for a break. Nothing at all about this makes any sense.
never ever ever enter any personal information into a website link you get from an email, whether it be for a job application, a bank, a mmo, etc.
instead go to the actual website of the company yourself and look for the same place.
