Answer 1

Yes it's a scam.

ANY unsolicited e-mail you get offering a business opportunity is a scam. If it was so lucrative, why would anyone be asking a complete stranger to do this for them?

Do not reply to spam like this. Even if they don't manage to rip you off, a reply will tell them that the e-mail address is active and there's a sucker at the other end, and you'll just get more spam from them (and whoever they sell your e-mail address to).

Answer 2

Take the postal money orders with full details and copies of all communications to your local postmaster and turn them in. They are fraud; esp if the persons sending them want you to wire transfer any portion of them to a location out of the country. This is a big scam. Once you give the info to the postmaster, you should shortly stop receiving items from these con artists.

Answer 3

SPAM
In my view.
