Hello Dear I am Rebeca
My name is Miss Rebeca Gukama Please accept my apology if my mode of contacting you will in any way offend you. I am compelled to contact you via this medium for obvious reasons which you will understand when we discuss.details of my proposition.Awaiting to hear from you.

Both are scams.

In the first case, the scammer will promise you a job, then will require that you pay fees for travel documents/visas etc. The job the scammer promises does not exist.

The second is basic advance fee fraud. The scammer intends to tell you that your help is needed to collect or transfer a large sum of money. Like the job in the first scam, the money doesn't exist. The scammer intends to convince you to pay all kinds of phony fees, all in hopes of getting a payout that will never happen.
