The companies that are named in these emails may well be legitimate companies, but they have no involvement in or knowledge of these scams.
Note, these are all Company Representative Scams. Please see the post here for more information. The cheques/money orders that you receive will all be fake. If you deposit these cheques and send money to a 3rd party by Western Union or MoneyGram then you will lose that money. Eventually, your bank will claim the amount of the cheque back from you - it might take them weeks or months, but it will happen.

Thank you so much for the perfect interest you have in working for my company as a loyal co-worker in Homebest Enterprise Ltd.I have decide to create an avenue for you to have your commission at least twice per week through a medium of receiving payment from some of our customers.
It be more pragmatic,i notice a loot of delay in the way some of our clients sends payment out which is why i have decided to employ you in person as my trustee because and which made me run a series of investigation through both FBI and IRS in your information which you supplied to this company because you shall be dealing with company money and i had to be so sure that you are for real.
Furthermore,the entire member of board of this company held a meeting to be sure on how you can get some payment cashed today and means you will be able to have some money with you in which you will deduct your 10% today and if possible have another commission tomorrow as well.
The result of the meeting of above mentioned topic,we both conclude that you will have to print out check today,the e-check that will be sent directly into your email address and you will have to connect your computer with your colored printer.
See how it works,you will have to get MAGNETIC VERSA INC and VALIDATION CODE BUSINESS PAPER CHECK,these are the materials you will use to get the check printed.The MAGNETIC VERSA INC is the one you will load in your printer and the VALIDATION CODE BUSINESS PAPER CHECK is the one you will print the check on.
Immediately our customers send the check to your email,we will approve your payment in any bank and you shall be given cash immediately.
All you need to do now is to visit any of the below stores for the purchase of the materials:
1: OFFICE DEPOT
2: STATIONERY STORE
3: OFFICE MAX
4: STIPPLES
Be informed that you will only need 40$ to purchase these materials and we will include the 40$ in your commission.So you have nothing to either loss or worry about.
Make sure you buy the materials first thing this morning and get back to me so as to make the payment to you on time and you will be able to have the $ in bank today.If you already have the materials,send me a confirmation email now.If you are on your way out to but it now,send me a confirmation email as well so as to instruct our customers to send it to you and you will get it when you return.
