i was introduced to this scam by a Russian 'tourism company' which i have no doubts - has some legitimate business.. (otherwise, how could they remain in business if they were 100% scam?) .. i have corrected badly worded English 'documents' (letters, memos,..) - five sets so far - without pay (as mentioned on another post) .. now, they want me to forward money via Chase QuickPay .. let me copy-paste the relevant part of one of their letters:
But the main problem is - impossible to send the money to Russia from any country using online service. When you are a client, you don't go somewhere to send the money, you are sitting at computer and do all things via internet.
okay .. yea, if you're REAL naive and don't know how to send money to Russia (like Western Union and MoneyGram), then you will believe them and perform money laundering for them.. then maybe land in jail for money laundering..
