100% cheque mule scam Laughing

Here's the bit that matters:

Pure lad/vlad BS to keep the mule from waiting until the cheques bounce to send the $$.

Is there a website involved in this, by chance? If so, please post it. Twisted Evil

Excellent advice from Slayer, as always. If I may, here's another sure-fire indicator of a scam...

After the first month of employment you will begin to have contact with the buyers via email in regards to collection of the payments.

You will be forwarding the received payments through western union transferring agents, they are located at the post offices; this allows instant currency conversions and instant payment transferring

Those two words appearing in any e-mail confirm it right away. Unless the person requesting that payment method (or any other wire transfer / instant cash transfer) is immediate family and can prove it, it's a scam. Maybe there are legitimate businesses out there who will use Western Onion or MooneyGramm on occasion, but they'd never make it their usual practice.

No unfortunately i haven't been given a website. I did ask for it though as I tried to look as interested in it as possible.

Here's the person's email so maybe some of our boys can have some fun if they want.

Somewhere on your email page (when an email is opened) will be the following- full header or show full header (or something very similar). On yahoo it is in the bottom right corner below the email it may be somewhere else on other email providers

Click on this.
At the top of your email there will now be some computer geek looking gobbledegook-copy and paste this here in this thread-someone will get back to you.

If any of that in the above is your email address-remove that and re post-you can do that by just editing your post above this one.

Someone should be along shortly.

edit to add

to hide IP's use something like fastmail or gmail.

Better still go "here" and ask for a mentor.

and read all the sticky's TWICE!!!

@ Alienara - if you want some really neat easy to get trophies, you should sign up for premium membership. This will give you access to a drop box address you can use as your baiting char address, so you can actually safely receive the checks in these types of baits. The box operator can then either mail them to you (at your cost) or send you a scan of them.
