Another Fake Job Offer

Recently, I have become a popular guy for phony job offers.  I'm not sure if it's my gullible-looking face or my growing online presence; either way, it's really annoying!  So what do you guys think - should I go for it?  ;-)

Hello,

I introduce myself as Samuel Williams , Marketing Director, MAX TEXTILE LIMITED that produces both Chinese and African textile materials in Hong Kong, We're presently looking for a trustworthy representative in USA/Canada that can help as a link between the company and our clients over there in the {US} We're offering you to work from home for us as a representative in US, This package is on contract so it wont affect your present job.

The company produces various clothing materials, batiks, assorted fabrics and traditional costumes. We get numerous orders from our clients in US weekly and they make pre-payments for the supplies which is usually in form of Money Orders or Cashiers Check which are not readily cashable and take long time to clear outside the US or Canada, this slows down the pace of production and delivery so we need a Rep. in the states to assist in processing payments from our clients and in return will have 10% off the processed payment. In otherwords the company needs your position in receiving payments from our clients and getting it processed in your bank or cashing center. If convenient,
you can open a new account for the payments if you dont want to use your personal account. Then after the deduction of your 10%, you forward the balance to the company either via Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer when needed. Our clients will contact you before they issue out and mail the payment to you.

I hope the proposal is well understood. We would need your response via email as soon as possible so we can come to conclusion on terms.We thank you for your understanding and anticipated consideration. Awaiting your questions and response.

Yours Sincerely,
Samuel Williams {Marketing Director}
MAX TEXTILE LIMITED

Awesome. You should go for it. Forget living a legitimate life and go learn the scammer's trade.

What's sad is that people obviously fall for these things; otherwise they wouldn't be worth the scammers' trouble!

Great warning for the unsuspecting.

Unfortunately there are lots of scumbags out there using techniques like this to prey on the masses of unemployed. The lure of "work from home" and "flexible hours" attracts many. But any time you allow someone *control* of a bank account and your identity, you are asking for trouble. I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to link to this post from my Squidoo lens on finding work at www.squidoo.com/findingwork

Thanks again for a good illustration!

You have a better chance of being attacked by Somali pirates in Omaha then landing this job.

Maybe I watch too many movies, but that sounds so shady. You could be accepting payments for anything.
