This scammer makes it very clear to me that this is a fake check scam. If you got this or a similar email in your mailbox don't bother replying, just delete the mail. If you did reply to this email and the scammers are sending a check DON'T cash it as it is worthless. You could face criminal charges when cashing fake checks.

Hello,
B & T Fabrics and Textiles need someone to work for the company as
a Representative/Book keeper in other country. This is in view of
our not having an office presently in the USA.
You dont need to have an Office and this certainly wont disturb any form of
work you have going at the moment, Our integrated yarn and fabric
manufacturing operations use
state-of-the-art textile equipment from the world leading suppliers. Order
processing, production monitoring and process flow are seamlessly

integrated through a company-wide
computer network .


* The average monthly income is about 4000.00 usd.
* No form of investments from you.
* This job takes only 1-3 hours per day This we need to get payments for
our products as soon as it possible because



customers can just "forget" to pay. Unfortunately we are unable
to open bank accounts in the United US without first registering the
company name. Presently with the amount of Orders we have, we cannot put

them on hold. For fear of loosing the
customers outrightly. Secondly we cannot cash these payments from the US
soon enough as international Cheques take about 14 working days for

cash to be made available. We
lose about 75,000 USD of net income each month because we have money
transfer delays. YOUR TASK Your task is to coordinate payments from

customers and help us with the
payment process. You are not involved in any sales. Our sales manager
sells products. Once he makes a sale we deliver the product to a customer

(usually through USPS OR
FEDEX).The customer receives and checks the products. After this has been
done the customer has to pay for the products. About 90 percent of our

customers prefer to pay through
Certified Cheques and Money orders based on the amount involved. We have
decided to open this new job position for solving this problem. Your

tasks are;



1. Recieve payment from Customers
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 forwarded

either by Money Gramme or Western



Union Money Transfer. Local Money transfers takes barely hours, so it will
give us a possibility to get customer payment almost immediately. For

example you ve got 3000.00USD You
take your income : 300.00 USD Send to us: 2700.00 USD - cost of sending,
First month you will have 15-20 transactions on 3000.00-4000.00 USD

So you may calculate your income.
For example 18 transactions on 3500.00 USD gives you 4410.00 USD. And also
this offer is not limited to you only, you can also introduce family

and friends from 18yrs and above.Pls Just Send Me Your Reply at

Welcome and thanks for posting, DonnyBMan. :D I'm glad you recognized the scam. Responding to the scammer as you are is scambaiting. We recommend that if you're not already an experienced baiter and you're interested in doing this, you visit our sister site, 419Eater.com and do so safely, with all fake information. We also appreciate you profiling the scammers here but please keep baiting discussions at Eater. Let us know if you have any questions. :D

For the benefit of anyone else reading this, I'll point out that this bit of the email is a crucial part for immediately identifying it as a definite scam:

That's why we need you! We need agents to receive payment for our textiles( You will need to provide us Credit card , New Bank Account for the Funds wired Transfer from the Client ) and to resend the money to us via MoneyGram or Western Union Money Transfer.


No legitimate job ever asks you to process company money through your own account. Western Union and Money Gram are cash wiring services to be used in an emergency or for sending the money to a family member. Their fees are quite high, which negates their whole premise of why they "need you" and no legitimate business would use this service for processing payments.

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

FREDSON RALEIGH IS A SCAMMER BE WARNED!!!! HE POSTS ADS ON SINGLES WEBSITES ALSO. I "met" him on a singles web site for so called wealthy men where he proclaimed that he was an Engineer in Africa and spent all his money on his equipment and needed money wired to him immediately as he was now destitute and literally starving. He tried to get me to send him one thousand dollars to begin with. He attempted to "romance" me for at least a month before he unexpectedly lowered the hammer that if I truly cared about him I would send him money ASAP!!!! He sent me photos, texted me as well and the pictures are of an extremely handsome sexy man. Well, guess what I told him? Buy eggs and potatoes and enjoy!!! DON'T FALL FOR ANYTHING HE SAYS, HE ATTEMPTS TO BE CHARMING BUT, HE IS RIDDLED WITH UNDERLINING RED FLAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
