Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

• An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
• The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
  • "dear sir/madam" (a standard Nigerian greeting phrase)
• This email message is a company representative scam. This type of job offer scam involves the cashing of fake checks and money orders. It could expose you to losses of tens of thousands of dollars as well as to the risk of criminal prosecution and (in some cases) imprisonment.
• Western Union money transfer is completely untraceable and therefore is *not* safe to use with anyone you do not know personally. It is the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims.
• This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

From: "kjtex919@terra.es" <kjtex919@terra.es>

Subject: 10% EXTRA INCOME




Dear Sir/Madam,


K & J International Limited is a Latvian textile Company. We produce and distribute clothing materials such as batiks, assorted fabrics and traditional costume worldwide. We have reached big sales volume of textile materials in the U.S and now are trying to penetrate the Europe market. Quite soon we will open representative offices or authorized sales centers in Europe and therefore we are currently looking for people who will assist us in establishing a new distribution network there.

Despite the fact that the European market is new for us we already have a regular clientele which speaks for itself.


WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR US?

The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in
Latvia is 25%, whereas for the individual it is only 7%.There is no sense for us to work this way, while tax for international money transfer made by a private individual is 7%.

That's why we need you!

We need agents to receive payment for our textiles (in American Express, cashier and official checks) and to resend the money to us via Money Gram or Western Union
Money Transfer. This way we will save money because of tax decreasing.


JOB DESCRIPTION

1. Receive payment from our Clients

2. Cash Payments at your Bank

3. Deduct 10%, which will be your
Percentage/pay on Payment processed.

4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send payment to/ or any of our clients overseas (Payment is to forwarded by or Western Union Money Transfer).

NOTE: All charges of the WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER will be deducted from the money, so you are rest assured that you wouldn't spend a dime out of your personal money.




HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?
10% from each operation! For instance: you receive 7000 USD via checks on our behalf. You will cash the money and keep 700 dollars (10% from 7000 dollars) 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 dollars monthly depending on time you will spend for this job. You do not need any capital to start. You can do the Work easily without leaving or affecting your present Job.

The employees who make efforts and work hard have a strong possibility to become managers. Anyway our employees never leave us.

But the problem we have is trust, we have made arrangement with the FBI in Washington, that if anybody gets away with our money they will definitely get hold of such individual and will face the full wrath of the law.


MAIN REQUIREMENTS

18 years or older,

Legally capable,

Responsible,

Ready to work for 3-4 hours per week.

With PC knowledge

E-mail and internet experience (minimal)
