    Ok. Let me tell you something. All you have to do is read the very first sentence to know this is a scam.

    Probably sent from Nigeria or somewhere else.

    Willie GOFF....come on. You can't see a make believe name when you read one??? "Its good to read from you????"

    Finally, this idea of cashing money orders and then sending the balance via western union is one of the biggest, most well known, notorious scams operating today. They send you

    Conterfeit money orders, which you then illegally cash in your own name!!!! You take ALL of the criminal risk.

    Period. Trust me on this. Unfortunately, these assholes are now targeting Job Boards and Job Banks. I would take this letter down to your local police station and let them know that these guys are operating in your area if they have targeted a local job bank.

    I am quite serious about all of this. This is a KNOWN scam.

    When you cash illegal conterfeit money orders, you are violating about 10 serious laws!!!!!!!

    Try reading this again. This is not written by a person who speaks English!!!!!!!!!

    Check them out through the Better Business Bureau. I would wonder about this being in the USA, though, because they spelled check wrong. Also, lots of spammers tell you that you will get a check in the mail that you have to deposit into your account. That is the part that would put me off.

    It's a complete, total, and very illegal SCAM.

    This is not a real job. They're asking you to help them commit a crime. You'll get in trouble with the law *and* with your bank, and the people behind it will just move on to another set of fake names and take advantage of another set of suckers like you.

    DON'T DO IT.

    That's an OLD scam...The checks are very good fakes.. You deposit them, wire the money... a few weeks later, your bank calls wanting you to pay them ALL the money back... http://www.nextwebsecurity.com/LocationTools.asp allows you to search for their IP... turn on your full headers and check if they are already on the known scammers list... Or check the data base at: http://www.419legal.org/ ...if nothing shows up, post your email under: http://www.419legal.org/fradulent-email/ and a professional will check them out for you... (please include FULL headers minus your personal information)... Once you've checked them and are convinced they are scammers, please forward a copy of their "job offer" to abuse@yahoo.com, abuse@hotmail.com, etc... whoever their email provider is..

    It sounds like one of those Nigerian Prince emails.....very bad grammar and spelling is usually the first clue. This is a Phishing scheme.....nothing more.
