Whilst I wouldnt touch this with a Barge Pole Ive just received an e-mail asking if I would like to earn between 2000 & 8000 $. Money would be sent to my address by ordinary mail. I then have to transfer it to this address in the UK who will give me 10%. This would be from "Business Addresses" in the USA & Canada. Does this sound like Money Laundering

Hi,
This is a typical Nigerian Scam. Don't fall trap into it. They will completely swindle you. If you are really keen on finding some home based jobs, you can visit http://www.myhomebizguide.com and look for suitable options. Be wary of scamsters on Internet!

Yes, this is a classic phishing technique. This isn't even money laundering, but more like you transferring money into their offshore account, and then never hearing from these people again. There have been stories about how this activity is increasing in the UK. Please, for your sake. delete these immediately.
Hope this helps.

I would only do this if you like the thought of living in prison for a while! That would save you some money cos you wouldnt be able to spend any whilst you were in theire!

i'd get it sent to a duff address and keep it all.
If they can find me and they don't mind having a machete in their heads they can have the money back.
You think they gonna go to the police if you rip em off?
You play that game and you dumb enough to give someone the opportunity to rip you off you deserve it. No honour amongst thieves... no friends only interests..
