Job offer spam: ITP (zemrus.com)

• Job offer spam: Forwarding payments (Fraud)
  
• Forwarding Paypal payments via Western Union (Fraud)
  

zemrus.com is a fraud
Zemrus.com is a scam run by an organised crime group to steal money from customers of Wells Fargo Bank and possibly other banks in the United States. The domain was only created a few weeks before the job offer spam went out, which is typical for such scams.

If you have been recruited, contact your bank. If you have received money in your account, don't withdraw any of it or you will have to repay it, because it's stolen money.
