I pretty much just bait love scams, but I got this in my fake account at 4ppl.com and thought I would see what you all think of it. I am not sure what the scam is here (but I'm sure there has to be one )

Below is a exact copy / paste of the message I received.

I think you'll have to pay fees for all sorts of crap that will come up. I got a "job offer" as a bodyguard at a London hotel and I had to pay for my work permit.

Why dont you email and see how long it is before they get to the WU !

Thanks thrylos7 & Vampire, the fees for work scam sound about right.

I'll send her a reply and see where this goes.

Could be fees up front, however if theyre offering to pay all the fees for you, it could be an overpayment by dodgy cheque, any excess to be returned by Western Union.

A couple years ago I had a similar scam with a hotel located in Montreal. My character applied from the Yukon (A Canadian Territory) and the fun really began as we got into the immigration issues, fees and moving to and residing in Canada.

The scammer was in Nigeria and at one point thought Canada was a US state.

Later in similar scams I have used British Columbia as a country.

100% scam as suggested. I reckon a steamy love scam, involving all of the 'around the world' stuff should be discussed. Maybe an animal oriented meeting involving goats should occur?

As already said, there will be fees to be paid upfront before you get the non-existent 'job'.

Canada, and Montreal in particular, has a large percentage of scamming lads. Regarding the fake job scam, try Googling "Omni Hotel", "Rose Brown", "Rose Grandison", "Rose Grand" and you will see what I mean.

But so far no reply back from Hotel Manager Mrs, Mary Johnson. Crying or Very sad
