  • Should I accept this offer of employment?

    As many of you know, I have been looking for work. Right now I'm working in a camera shop, and it's enjoyinable, but I am still watching for better paying opportunities.

    So, I just found this in my inbox:

    Subject:

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Would u like to work online from home and get paid weekly ?

    H & L LIMITED needs a book-keeper in the state,so i want to know if u will
    like to work online from home and get paid weekly without leaving or
    affecting ur present job?

    It's just that i presently run a textile and fabrics firm i inherited from
    my late Dad in the UK and we need someone to work for the company as a
    representative/book keeper in the states.

    My company produces various clothing materials, batiks, assorted fabrics and
    traditional costume which we have clients we supply weekly in the states.

    My clients make payments for our supplies every week in form of Money Orders
    which are not readily cashable outside the United States, So we need someone in
    the
    States to work as our representative and assist us in processing the
    payments from our clients and i will pay him weekly salary.

    ALL U NEED TO DO IS RECEIVE THIS PAYMENTS FROM OUR CLIENTS IN THE STATES
    GET IT CASHED IN UR BANK THEN DEDUCT UR WEEKLY PAY AND FOWARD THE BALANCE TO THE
    COMPANY DOWN HERE VIA WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.

    Our payments will be issued out in ur name and u get them cashed in ur bank
    deduct ur weekly salary and foward the balance to the company via western
    union money transfer

    SO ALL I NEED IS TO FOWARD UR INFORMATIONS TO OUR CLIENTS IN THE STATES AND THEY
    ISSUE PAYMENTS IN FORM OF MONEY ORDERS, THEN SEND IT TO U VIA MAIL OR COURIER.

    I will need ur Full name, Residential Address and Phone Number so we can foward
    it to
    our clients and they will start making payments to u as the company'
    representative in the states

    I WILL EMAIL U A LETTER OF EMPLOYMENT FROM OUR COMPANY WHICH U HAVE TO REPLY

    WITH AN ACCEPTANCE LETTER AND A SCANNED COPY OF UR INDETIFICATION ATTACHED
    TO IT.

    AS SOON AS WE CONFIRM ANY PAYMENT COMING TO U I WILL LET U KNOW AND I WILL GIVE
    U THE INFORMATION TO SEND FUNDS TO THE COMPANY VIA WESTERN UNION MONEY
    TRANSFER.

    I AWAIT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.

    Warmest Regards,
    Tony Adams,

    It sounds tempting, but I don't know. What do you think?
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

              Honestly, TMM, what do u think?

              If this isn't a scam to get ur funds, it's a money laundering operation. Plain, pure, and simple.

              But if U want to go ahead and give them ur informations, please, keep us in the loop and let us know what happens. I'm sure the story will be highly entertaining.

                    It would be interesting to see one of the scam-baiters have a go at this type of thing. It would be interesting to see if

                    1. they suddenly require some fees or
                    2. this is the fake money order scam and they hope you to send on the cash before the fake is spotted or
                    3. its just money laundering so you don't get scammed but you move some drug money around or something
                    You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo
