Dear Sir/Madam


My Name is James Anderson and i am the employment manager of costa coffee, a quality coffee company based in the United Kingdom. The company has been setup in Lambeth, London since 1971, supplying all local caterers, major Italian and American coffee shops and around the world, with an exciting coffee, slow-roasted the Italian way. People couldn't get enough of it and by 1978 the first Costa espresso bar opened in Vauxhall Bridge Road in London. To this day we still use the same method of slow-roasting our coffee beans, serving the brothers authentic blend of 6 Arabica beans to 1 Robusta in 5010 coffee shops all over the world. You can check out our website at: http://www.costa.co.uk


The company is always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling our products to Americans because they are always offering to pay with US MONEY ORDERS and US CHECKS which is difficult for us to cash here in the UK since the last person that represents us in the US has just fallen sick and cannot continue the job.


WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR US?


The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in UK is 25%, whereas for the individual it is only 7%.There is no sense for us to work this way, while tax for international money transfer made by a private individual is 7% .That's why we need you! We need agents to receive payment for our coffee( in money orders, check or bank wire transfers) and to resend the money to us via Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer. This way we will save money because of tax decreasing.


JOB DESCRIPTION?


1. Receive payment from Clients
2. Cash Payments at your Bank
3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed.
4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send payment to Payment is to be forwarded either by Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer).


HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?


10% from each operation! For instance: you receive $7000 via checks or money orders on our behalf. You will cash the money and keep $700 (10% from $7000) for yourself! At the beginning your commission will equal 10%, though later it will increase up to 12%!


ADVANTAGES


You do not have to go out as you will work as an independent contractor right from your home office. Your job is absolutely legal. You can earn up to $3000-4000 monthly depending on time you will spend for this job. You do not need any capital to start. You can do the Work easily without leaving or affecting your present Job. The employees who make efforts and work hard have a strong possibility to become managers. Anyway our employees never leave us due to our excellent work condition.


MAIN REQUIREMENTS:


Legally capable responsible ready to work 3-4 hours per week PC knowledge e-mail and internet experience (minimal) And please know that Everything is absolutely legal, HERE IS A COPY OF THE EMPLOYMENT FORM FOR YOU Reference No:- LSLCA/2031/ 8161/05 Batch No:- R4/A313/2-60

Delete and do not reply to this fake/counterfeit cheque scam.

Note - this scammer has no connection with "Costa Coffee"

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THIS TYPE OF SCAM

The job/position/employment opening does not exist.

Fake/counterfeit cheques or money orders will be sent to YOUR address by this scammer with instructions for YOU to process them at YOUR local bank and send on a percentage by either Western Union or MoneyGram, untracable wire transfer.

The cheques will initially clear, but will eventually be found to be false. YOU the victim will then be liable for all of the outstanding money and may well be investigated by the police for money laundering.
Remember, you are financially and usually legally responsible for all cheques deposited into your account, even after the bank has made the funds available to you.

Delete and do not reply to this and other scammers peddling the same/similar lies
