Hi all. I ran across this email and want to alert you to this scam. Notice that it is a job offer to transfer funds and goods. And, they request your bank and paypal account information. They offer $45,000 a year as payment for this job. The job responsibilities are not that great and could be hired out for $7 an hour. I am reasonabbly sure this is a scam to buy items in the U.S. using stolen credit card information and have them shipped overseas by the employee (me or you).

I have received similar emails to this one, sigma, and they do make me wonder where did they get my information. I would never be foolish enough to respond to one of them. The very fact that they are from outside this country should send up a red flag to all.

That is a good point. Anything from outside the country is to be questioned. To bad there are just as many rip offs in this country.
