I got this buissiness proposition today in my e-mail. At what length will these idiots travel to steal a buck. I will admit they thought this one through.


Dear Sir/Ma.,
Lemmens crane system is an European and African Invented Company,but has a Standardized branch here in Singapore .We Buy, Produce and Distribute Constructing materials such as Crawler Cranes, Mechanical Crane and Marine Equipment Worldwide, you can check out our European branch website (www.lemmens-group.com ).
We have reached big sales volume of Constructing Materials in Europe,Africa and the United Kingdom and now are trying to penetrate the USA/Canada market. Quite soon we will open representative offices or authorized sales centers in the USA/Canada and therefore we are currently looking for people who will assist us in establishing a new distribution! Network there. The fact is that despite the USA/Canada market is new for us we already have regular clients also speaks for itself.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR US ?
But we have a problem that's setting us back. We have some problem collecting our payments from our USA/Canada clients.. The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in USA 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 textiles (in Money Orders, Checks or Bank Wire Transfers) from our clients in the USA/Canada 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 or Exchange Rate Offices
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 sent via either by Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer ).

HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN ?
* 10% from each operation! For instance: you receive $8000 via Checks or money orders on our behalf.. You will cash the money and keep $800 (10% from $8000) for yourself; at the beginning your commission will equal 10%, though later it will increase up to 12% ,as you can earn up to $80,000-$150,000 anually from us..

ADVANTAGES
You don't 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 $10,000-$20,000 monthly depending on time you will spend for this job. You do not need any capital to start.

I think this is properly identified as phishing. There are at least two flies in the ointment with this arrangement.
1. The check you receive will not clear the bank it was drawn on.
2. Even if it did, the Feds would not look kindly on you screwing them out of 18% in revenues.

It might be fun to go along with him and see what occurs. Tell him that you will proceed with the arrangement, with the caveat that you will have to wait 30-60 days to send the money, in order for the check you receive to clear the bank it was drawn on.

Anybody here up to it?

Bet the FBI, or the RCMP, would have the time to take them up on it!! Sniper
