Eric Moore Textiles - Cheque mule scam

Here again is a typical cheque mule come on. Many of these scammers claim to be in the textile business for some reason.
Red flags include:
* the HUGE salary ($1000/ week for 1-3 hours per day of work)
* the generic references to "your country"
* processing business funds through your personal bank account (which is illegal)
* keeping a percentage of each cheque as "commission"
* sending money via untraceable Western Union or Moneygram wire transfer
* the company's supposed inability to open bank accounts in "your country" or receive payments from overseas
Again, This "job" does NOT exist! It is just and excuse for the scammers to get you to cash their fake or stolen cheques!
