seas address.They ask for is your name, address ,phone,marital status,occupation.usually they claim they want you to be a "Payment Manager"or something of that nature.I get these and of course the "you've won some lottery in the U K" I've usually send this type of mail to Abuse/yahoo, but can't send them the header info they need for some reason

The checks are forged. You lose all the money.

This is a "money mule" scam -- and it can work two ways...
(1) They send a fake check. You cash it, forward 90% of the money on. A few weeks later it is rejected, and you get in serious trouble for passing bad checks.
(2) They send a real check. You cash it, forward 90% of the money on. Eventually the cops come knocking on your door, because you're part of an international money laundering ring.
Neither is a particularly nice outcome! I've also included a link which may help you out with getting the full headers of scam emails.

maximum classic rip-off there is. no person makes that good sized of a mistake. right this is the place countless human beings screw the pooch. the guy deposits the verify and clears all or area of it. so which you won't be able to easily bypass to the economic business enterprise and notice whether that's solid. Then they deliver back the surplus money. 5 days or in spite of later the economic business enterprise calls and tells you the verify is undesirable So now you owe the full volume, possibly overdraft expenses and that they could freeze your account. do no longer even hassle sending him any money. If the verify is respectable and you do no longer money it the money in simple terms isn't deducted from his account.

Don't do that kind of thing, just ignore it. They have been showing that stuff on our news lately and it is some company in Nigera scamming people of their money. One of the reporters from our station went to where their address was in Nigera, (they somehow obtained it) and they wouldn't talk to them on camera...go figure. Was a bunch of men with a lot of computers in one room talking on the phones. Just stay away from that kind of thing.

This scam is kin to the Nigerian scam. Not only does it lead to identity theft it also leads to a very empty checking account.

Forward those things to the FBI...maybe some day they will be able to put an end to those rippers-off of mainly 'elderly' people and the mentally sub-standard.
