Please help identify the scam

The English is very poor and many mistakes. American spelling is used. £22 an hour is a grossly inflated wage. You are going to be sent a check/cheque. This is a job scam. The cheque will be fake.
That's the quick answer.
The information you are sent doesn't agree with the advertising. What you have is a classic, 100% certain fraud attempt and it will most likely involve cheque changing and money laundering.

"dialysis" is acually to do with blood cleaning/kidney machines!!

This is a test of duty and you are required to utilize the funds that would be sent to you in form of Check for the purpose of purchasing the software, cover cost of shipment of your equipment and then you prepare a cash-flow ( Spread Sheet/Excel ) for funds was utilized. You are requested to make a balance sheet on all the purchase and send the in via email to the Personnel Department.
* BS 1 Accounting software which is to be purchased Next week.
* Peach Tree Software ( US Patent Single Users Pack )
* Remainder for shipping of the equipment.

You will be asked to pay the supposed shipper from the funds. The cheque will be a fake and you will have paid an anonymous scammer from your own funds.

Aside from which, above, the supposed goods won't arrive. What will follow then is an email messsage from a fake shipping company asking you to send a release fee by Western Union. And so it will go on and on and on ...................

I add the same scammer email address used in other fake job advertisements from this criminal.
[email protected] USED BY SCAMMER

Just ignore him.
The info you have given could probably be found in the public domain with a little effort.
It has no monetary value. I wouldn't worry about it.

And here is another similar scam letter to the one above. Only the names have probably changed.

Balls! I have just responded to the email, but then grew suspicious as there were so many grammatical errors as well as other strange requests such as my age. I gave them all the information asked but gave no bank details. Will someone be able to tell me whether they will still be able to commit fraud using these details. I am so frustrated that I didn't do a simple google check before I sent off the email, I feel so shamed considering this came up as one of the top search result on google!

Welcome metropolissugar!
You have no reason to feel ashamed, you found out in time before losing money, so well done!
As for your details, as other scam warners pointed out, the scammers ask for them to make it look like the fake employer is really interested in the person he is going to assume. As long as you withheld vital information
- social security number
- bank account
- credit card
there is little he can do.
However, he might have saved your email address as an easy target. So look out for suspicious emails with other types of scams in the near future and come back any time to ask for advice. We will be glad to help.
Eventually the scammer will realise that there is no money to be scammed out of you and he will move on to new victims.

Thank you. It's interesting though, because I sent a reply saying I wasn't interested anymore but still got sent the travellers cheques...they are now with the police so hopefully everything's well.

Well done giving the cheques to the police! The scammer was hoping you'd change your mind once you held the tempting cheques in your hand. Now he has got to go back to the printer.
I'm just wondering: Did the police seem to be aware of this type of scam?

Need some Help.
I got an Email and I wasn't sure so I went up google to have a look . Can someone tell me if it is a scam ?

Welcome to Scamwarners. That's 100% scam, and I see the identical wording was reported here viewtopic.php?f=34&t=8796 last year.
You'd be banking fake checks, and sending money to the scammer by Western Union. Can you post the scammer's email address please.

Thanks Hayden. It would turn out to be cheque cashing of fake cheques, and you would forward your own money before the fake had properly cleared. It's typically, a scam message for a fake job. Would you post email addresses and email headers for others to find when they meet this scam.

I would be willing to bet it's a scam. Although the names are different, please look here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5413
A similar type of story wouldn't you agree?
I won't go into specifics but some things in the above email you posted do not make sense.
Can you further post any email addresses, phone numbers etc or any info would be great.
Sounds like cheque type scam setup, maybe?

Yeah... the email used is [email protected]

They make us bank in fake cheques ?
