Dear Mr(s).


We are glad to offer you for a job position with our company.We need
someone to work for the company as a Representative/Book keeper in the

USA. This is in view of our not having an office presently in the
USA.You don't need to have an Office and this certainly won't disturb
your current job, rather supplement your current income.Our Company
specializes in the Sourcing,Outsourcing and Procurement of any
commodity from the Eastern European supply base. We undertake order
placement as a one-off batch and project management of the transfer of

an entire series of processes and commodities without compromising
quality.We source the following variety of clothing materials:-

new market (being the US). There are hundreds of competitors, close
direct contacts between suppliers and customers and other
difficulties,which impede our sales promotion.We have decided to
deliver the products upfront, it's very risky but it would push up
sales by 25 percent.Unfortunately we are unable to open Bank Accounts
in the US without first registering the company name.
Presently with the amount of Orders we have, we cannot put them on
hold for fear of loosing the customers outrightly. Secondly we cannot
cash these payments from the US soon enough, as international Cheques
take about 15-30 working days for cash to be made available.We lose
about 75,000 USD of net income each month because we have money
transfer delays.Your task is to coordinate payments from customers and

help us with the payment process.You are not involved in any sales or
marketing.Once orders are received and sorted we deliver the product
to a customer (usually through FEDEX).The customer receives and checks

the products. After this has been done the customer has to pay for the

products.About 90 percent of our customers prefer to pay through
Certified Cheques,Money orders and local Transfer based on the amount
involved.We have decided to open this new job position for solving
this problem.
Your tasks are:
Receive payment from Customers.
2. Cash Payments.
3. Deduct 10% which will be your commission/pay on each Payment
processed
4. Forward balance after deduction of commission/pay to any of the
offices you will be contacted to send payment to.(Payment is to
forwarded either by MoneyGram or Western Union Money Transfer).

Local Money transfers takes barely hours, so it will give us a
possibility to get customer's payment almost immediately.You are
entitled to a basic monthly salary of 1000.00 USD.For Instance,when
you process a 3000USD payment.You deduct your 10% commission: 300.00
USD and remit: 2700.00USD.First month you will have 15-20 transactions

in the range of 3000.00 - 4000.00 USD .Plus your basic monthly salary
is 1000.00 USD .After establishing a close co-operation with us you'll

be able to operate with larger orders and you'll be able to earn more.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you can have them
cashed at your bank or other Cashing Services.Deduct your commission
and forward the balance to the company .

Of Money Laundering awaits!

trust me, there are enough crooked lawyers, bankers and ceo's to launder money world wide...this is theft from the individual who responds to this VERY FLAKEY add!

I am making please to be with you around offer yours.

They'll be left owing the bank for the phony money orders, and the money they forward will be gone. :shrug:

how exciting!

This is just the old "Nigerian 419" scam. You get a "check" and deposit it. They you wire them the cash. Then, when the "check" bounces a month later, you're out the cash you wired. This has been going on since before the internet when they would flood the US Mail with letters containing the same pitch.

There's a hilarious site where people bait the scammers, engaging in back and forth emails showing an "expression of interest." Check it out at http://www.ebolamonkeyman.com/

woohoo!!!111121

I can move up there and be close to you

we can do lunch!

My wife got one, mailed from Toronto. Inside was instructions to cash a "check" in an amount of almost $4,000 US and then become a "secret shopper". Interestingly enough, the two places she was to go were to Western Union (where she would rate her experience wiring about $3,200 back to Canada), and any department store, where she was to purchase any item of her choice costing between $300 and $400, which she could keep (aw, what sweethearts!) but for which she had to fax the receipt along with a form which requested a bunch of information (no personal information, but hell, who would need it after getting wired over 3 grand?). She was to be "paid" the remaining balance for her trouble. I think it was like $165.

It was shredded into tiny pieces and saw the trash that night.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Almost right off the pages of Engrish.com! :rofl:

it's hell to be popular!!!

depending on the mail, I report them to their provider. I've gotten several accounts shut down. I know they'll just create a new one but it slows them down a little and makes me feel good!

Dear Mr. Palmer:

Our organization would be honored to assist you in this highly unusual business endeavor. Over the past decade, we have received hundreds of email requests of a similar nature, although each has unique elements, as does yours.

We've been approached by principals or their intermediaries from locations as varied as Bangkok, Moscow, Tel Aviv, Tripoli, Beirut, Taipei, Johannesburg, Istanbul, Baghdad and Jakarta – all seeking qualified individuals with superior accounting skills and a safe haven for their funds in these uncertain times. In all cases, our assistance has been rapid, judicious, above reproach and – of utmost importance to both parties – successful and undetectable.

Because we handle such a high volume of similar requests, our organization has grown quickly and employs many operatives throughout the world, all of whom are discreet, confidential, efficient and dedicated to facilitating and expediting your transactions. We will be happy to put you in contact with just the right TML representative, based in your area and familiarity with regional customs and banking procedures.

First, though, we must make a small request. On engagements such as yours that entail the transfer of a relatively modest sum (initially, only US$4,000.00), we consider it prudent to insist that a small good faith gesture totaling 200 percent of the principle (US$8,000.00 in this case) be deposited into our PayPal account before we can mobilize the resources of our organization to assist you in your business efforts.

While US$8,000.00 may seem a punitive sum, please be assured that our expenses are extraordinarily high for this type of transaction and we must insist on a reasonable deposit to protect our organization against possible breaches of contract or other unforeseeable risks.

This sum is fully refundable when: 1) You cease all business operations involving the assistance of The Money Laundrette, LLC; or b) five years from the date our contract was signed and our services formally engaged.

To maintain your anonymity and ours, please use the secure email address below to forward your deposit of US$8,000.00 to our anonymous PayPal account. Upon notification that these funds are on deposit and available to our company, we will contact you with details regarding your personal TML contact. He or she will be fully briefed beforehand and will have detailed knowledge of the general nature, best practices and core business policies of your business.

Thank you for your continued confidence in our organization. It will be our pleasure to serve you.

With warmest regards,


Winston Barrington Smith, III
President and CEO

I might give it a try. . .

I still reply to a lot of them -- the ones that seem written by really dumb people -- and just tweak that basic template to match the scam du jour and the different sums of money they say they want to toss in my direction.

I haven't quit my day job yet, though...

Oh, and please feel free to use it if you want to, and modify it any way you like.

Since their pitches are getting more standardized and less creative all the time, might as well bore them in return. Maybe we can force them to come up with a better, more interesting class of scam.


:evilgrin:

Your letter above reminded me of what they do at that site. They're pretty good at scamming the scammers.

If you haven't visited www.419eater.com , check it out :)

Sid

I think you'll get a chuckle.

Cheers.

That guy who got the scammer to bake him a cake as proof of identity is an absolute master.

I was inspired to come up with a new and truly hideous way for them to prove their identities beyond possibility of error. As I envision it, my proposal will cause the scammer extreme pain in the short term and result in permanent disfigurement, but what's a little pain and suffering when billions are at stake.

I'll write it up later today if I get the time and post it here when it's ready.

I'm glad there are other loons out there messing with these greedy fools. If you're going to get 10 or more of these solicitations a week no matter what kind of spam filters you set up, you might as well have some fun with them.

And thanks again. That site's truly priceless.

I wish I had that amount of free time

I'm gonna check out the Mugu Museum, it looks pretty hilarious! :)

Sid

It's such a lovely letter that it's a shame to have a grammar typo in it.

I HATE doing stuff like that. I'm a closet grammar cop myself and should really know better. Thanks for the catch, though.

Better here than when all those millions are on the line.

:toast:



Best, and thanks again.

wp

I keep getting those letters telling me how I can help some poor widow get her 2 million...damn those people can't figure these things out can the? :sarcasm:

Ironically, after I stopped looking for jobs, they came looking for me. I still get calls now and then from someone wondering about my "availability"...and I joke that they probably don't have enough money to raise my garage door. What's even more ironic is if this were an entry level job with these companies I'd be lucky to bring in 25k a year...yet the management and recruitment jobs pay 4 times as much.

:eyes: Is this laundering for Pootie or DeadEye?

:sarcasm:

:P

Funny stuff out there on the internets. :D

... as Steve Martin's character said in "The Jerk,": "I think ... I may have extra work. My friend Patty promised me a blow job."

Maybe they'll counter with a better offer. Maybe you can gradually bargain all the way up to a week in Paris at the Hotel De Vendôme with a case of Dom and the hottie of your choice.

All things are negotiable.


wp

Sounds like a win-win scenario! You'd be a FOOL not to take it!

(Those scammers are getting more and more creative and complex!)

I can't quite remember how it went but it was someone from another country about to do business in the US also.

I am the owner of the web page http://themoneymakers.org/englishindex.html
We have a very strict identification process. Two ID photos and a copy of FOUR different valid IDs are required. An official passport and a proof of current residence (not older than 1 year) should at least be part of the identification papers.
Our Source of Funds Requirements are: the customer must explain in his own handwriting what the source of the funds are, preferably together with a proof. These requirements can be found at the bottom of http://themoneymakers.org/englishfaq.html
We wonder if we do fully comply with International Anti Money Laundering Laws. Does anyone have advice on this ? Thanks !
