This e-mail sounds like a scam to me.They are asking for personal information on me which I refused to give. Has anyone ever heard of this company before?????They want you to set up a bank account for them to transfer money into and you get 9% commission of the transfer amount. Sounds like money laundering to me,Anyone know about this???????

Anything with wire transfers and bank accounts is a SCAM!! They say things like that are "easy" to do (which they are..wire transfers don't require much effort on your part) but think about this.. if it's so easy why would they hire someone to do it for such a large amount (i.e. $90 from a $1000 transfer...for five mins work - too good to be true).
They'll put the "$" into your account, you'll take it out, send it to them, then you'll be told in a week or two the money wasn't really there, and you owe the bank the money. And obviously, you don't have it because Mr. Foreign Person has it and is now gone, luring in another victim.

RUN AWAY FROM THIS E-MAIL AS FAST AS YOU CAN. If you have not been following the news for the last five to ten years than you might not know that one of the biggest e-mail scams is the laundering of money or getting money for basically nothing.
By the way, I need someone to cash large money orders from Outer Mongolia, I will give you 10% service fee deposited to your bank account. All I need is your name, social security number, your bank account number including pin and and routing number, your mother's maiden name, etc.
Do you get the picture?

I have heard of similar ones.. Normally these scams go back to an African country.

yup, you will be helping them transfer money from stolen credit cards into your account and then you send them their share with western union - which means by the time it's all discovered they are long gone, and your account is the only one police can trace.
smart!!!
