Welcome jsmith77, and thanks for posting. Can you please include the email address that was sent from if it isn't already listed here?

This part of the email:

Your assignments will include accepting payments from philanthropist donors on my behalf and purchasing items required by the beneficiary charity institutions, orphanage homes or hospitals involved and having the items shipped to them.


is the colorful way they have described the fraud, and how they'll use a victim as a mule.

Have you sent a payment to a scammer with Western Union and now realize it's a scam? If the payment has not been picked up, you can cancel it immediately! 1-800-448-1492

The poor spelling was an early indicator that something was amiss, as was their reply to my enquiry regarding my confusion over this offer being so different to the one I applied for. So thank you for posting guys, I am going to put a warning on craigslist as well.
