Employment Frauds or Scams

Recieved this to my E-Mail this morning! Note all the typing Errors:arrow:

Hello,
My name is Mr David Johnson,Chief Executive Officer for DAVID JOHNSON
TEXTILES AND ARTS COMPANY. The sales of my Artworks is limited to Europe
until recent that i intend to expand to the United states and Canada.
I've been selling my products for the past 7years and lately facing
serious difficulties when it comes to selling the products to Americans
cos they are always offering to pay with a MONEY ORDERS/CHECKS, which is
difficult to cash here as it takes several weeks before it clears . In
line to this, I'm looking for a representative in the United states and
Canada who will be working for me as a part time worker and we'll be
willing to pay him/her 10% of every transaction, which would not affect
your present state of work.
I need an agent who is very responsible, trustworthy and reliable in other
to receive the payment (that is mostly in form of MONEY ORDERS/CHECKS)
from my clients in the region, then get it cashed and deduct his/her
percentage thereafter and wire the balance(in cash) back to any of my
accountants/lawyers in my regional warehouses. The MONEY ORDERS/CHECKS
will be made out in your name and sent to you via delivery courier
services. As we both know that there is a problem getting someone that is
really capable and trustworthy for this offer but surely i have my way of
getting anyone that tries to get away with my money.
This offer is not going to cost you any amount cos all you need to do is
to receive the payments from my clients, get it cashed, deduct your
percentage and send the balance(in cash) to my accountants/lawyers via
WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER. All required charges for the transfers are
to be deducted from the money.
If you're interested, you can fill the employment form below and return to
dave231johnson@gmail.com.
Once this is done you will be contacted with more information which will
help determine if you meet my criteria for a representative.Looking
forward to having you in my team.

FIRST NAME_________________________

LAST NAME__________________________

You will notify the company a week ahead if eventually you want to

avoid conflict.



Yours Faithfully,
DAVID JOHNSON

It's amazing the junk that is sent out but what's more amazing is the fact that some people will actually respond to this!

Re: Employment Frauds or Scams

Seems my spambox is always full of these sorts of scams or schemes.. old advice that still holds true: always pays to be careful and if it seems to good to be true, it probably is!

Re: Employment Frauds or Scams

Good point in the OP: typos in a supposed business letter can be a tip off to a scam in many cases.. most reputable businesses would at least spell check something before sending it out..
