Thanks for responding to the job post advert. I received your email with interest in the position posted. I want to believe and hope I am dealing with an honest, responsible person because I usually would not hire anyone this way but I urgently need the services of a Personal Assistant due to my very busy schedules. My former Personal Assistant just moved to Mexico with her family. My name is Donald R.Bishop,an Auto Mobile & Spear Part collector I have about 30 clients base and because of my job. I'm constantly traveling back and forth. I will be setting up my new company in your State very soon. If you accept my offer, I will need you to take charge of my mail pick ups (personal mails) and drop offs as well as errand running during the week.

All errands will be in your city so it is not a must you have a car, but if you do it might be a plus. When you get my mails/packages, you will be required to mail them to where I want them mailed too. All expenses and taxes will be covered by me and you are to work for just 2 days per week (3 hours daily). You will be doing this for 2 weeks until I get back to town so we can formally meet and discuss about the possibility of making this arrangement a long term if I'm satisfied with your performance. How much will you charge per week? Am willing to pay $400.00 weekly including gas and others expenses. That is not a bad offer is it? If you accept this offer please reply with the following details:

Full Name, Mailing Address, Apt #, City, State, Zip Code, Cell Number, Home Number, Bank Name, Current Occupation, Marital Status & Available Hours. I will be needing your service immediately, so once the information above is received, I will request your first week payment be mailed to you along with the pay to run errands for me in the coming week. I will be waiting to receiving your response.

yes, it is a reshipping / money mule ( money laundering) job. It is a scam. It can land you in a nice quiet jail cell for a long time if you accept the offer.

*He asks for state and zip, so he's targeting Americans, but inadvertently used a British spelling.
*Auto mobiles have nothing to do with spear parts.
*He writes like a West African but appears to claim to be in the USA.
*He says he's moving to your state, but asks you which state it is.
*"Personal Assistant" is a fairly common title of scam jobs.

It's a scam.

Most of these people are foreign and don't have good english. To make sure an email is the truth, examine it in all entirety, even the little logos they have on the side and make sure they belong to that actual business by doing a search online.

This man Donald R. Bishop sounds like he should be at least a little bit educated and not have such shitty english.
