There's the slight possibility it could be a scam.

Can you explain this "wire transfer" service to me? Is this something new?

Sounds like a great job. They forgot to mention their early retirement, fast track program. The way that works is when the fraudulent transfers get reversed, the banks hold you responsible and sent men in blue to haul you off to a facility where you'll get plenty of rest, three square meals a day, and you even get to learn a new trade.

Thank you guys for helping me to understand the scam. Now how should I go about baiting this SOB?

Welcome Shaman.

Apply for a mentor, then if it goes arse-up, you have someone to blame Wink

Seriously, A mentor is the way to go, until you get the hang of it, and please remember to bait safely

^^^ A mentor is very good but while you're waiting...get yourself an untraceable email (IPs stripped) from a provider like gmail. Then scroll down to the bottom of the forums and read the stickies in the Eater University. A wealth of information to get you started and step by step tutorials. Have fun!
