Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Steven Gerald.I just came about your email address and your brief profile through an email listing affiliated with the US Chamber of Commerce and I would be very interested in offering you a part-time paying job in which you could earn alot.I just resigned my job as a research scientist for AGREN(Agricultural Research and entension network,(www.odi.org.uk/agren) but I still work as a freelance consultant for the instistute which gives me very much time to do my own work which is basically being a freelance researcher who could be employed by research institutes to do research projects anywhere in the world.WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR US? Presently, I have just been granted a funding to head a research project in the tropical regions of West Africa regarding rare and vunerable plant species and this would be commencing very soon, However my funding were by my American counterparts which sent me the bunch of payments mostly in US based money orders. Getting an accountant in the states or opening an account would have been my best choice but I have a deadline to meet and taking any of those choices would cost me time and a whole lot of other requirements I am not ready to deal with as I would be traveling a lot in the meantime.So presently, assuming you would be able to deal with cash, I would be willing to employ you on contract basis to be my payment representative back in the states, this way I could issue and make these money orders out to you, you could then cash them easily, withdraw 10% of the total amount on these money orders as your commission and then send the rest back to me through Western Union wire transfer.

2. Cash Payments at your Bank
3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay
on Payment processed.
4. Forward balance afer deduction of
percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send
payment to(Payment is to forwarded either by Money Gram or Western
Union Money Transfer).
HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?
10% from each operation! For instance: you receive 7000 USD or more via cheques or money orders on our behalf. You will cash the money and keep $700 (10% from $7000) for yourself! At the beginning your commission will equal 10%, though later it will increase up to 12%!
ADVANTAGES
You do not have to go out as you will work as an independent contractor right from your home office. Your job is absolutely legal. You can earn up to $3000-4000 monthly depending on time you will spend for this job. You do not need any capital to start.

Ignore it and delete it ASAP. It's just another scam where someone is trying to rip you off
It starts off with Dear Sir/Madam. If it was on the up and up, they know whether you were male or female instead of guessing, plus the fact they want to deal with money orders from Western Union.
NEVER respond to these types of e-mails..

Scam... variation on a theme. The checks are fake. It takes your bank about a week to realize this. By that time, you've wired the money via Western Union.

Not fair but that's the way the cookie crumbles. They just want a cheap shot at ya. The Key word here is "IGNORE". Why do you care what some anonymous yobo wanker says on the internet? Just block him in return and he won't bother you again. Remember, no matter how good you are, you will always have haters. Even Jesus had haters!!!!!

It's a scam They will send you a check that you will deposit. The deposit will clear initially. You will send them 90% as agreed. Weks later, the bank will discover it's a bad check. You will have to pay the bank the 90% that you sent them. It's a scam.

i get them too -- i don't even read it. a "too-good-to-be-true" job would require qualifications and not select some random people on the internet -- what if the user was a 13-year-old? would that qualify him/her? anybody can lie over the internet. i wouldn't even purchase anything over the internet -- the integrity has gone to shreds.

Yes, it's one of the latest phishing techniques to try to get your banking information so they can steal your money, your identity, or both....
Delete it and do not respond....
