Thanks so much for your prompt response.We make direct contact for sales of products. Once orders are received and sorted we deliver the product to customers (usually through FEDEX or DHL).

After establishing a close co-operation with us,you we will be able to operate with larger orders and you will be able to earn more.

Thank you. James Milner Director/CEO, Arts and Crafts Inc.
It sounds easy doesn’t it?
The problem is, anyone taking up this “job offer” is an essential part of money laundering which the crooks need to get their hands on clean cash. Within a short time the “customers” who have sent checks or money orders will complain because they have not received the ordered goods. Who do they go to with their complaints? The Agent who received the check or money order, of course.
Usually, the agent tries to clear up any misunderstandings and tries to get clarification from Mr. Milner. He, of course, says the orders have been sent out. Which is not true because there are no products!
Eventually the customers will report the matter to the police. The Mr. Milners behind this scam are safe and sound as they hide behind false names and freemail accounts. They are usually located in other countries and they have no risk but get maximum profit at the expense of others.
It’s the local “Transfer Agent” who will be held liable by the law because he is the person who cashed in the checks. He is also the one who is immediately identifiable.
The “Agent” will receive criminal charges for fraud and money laundering and anything else the law can come up with.
There have been enough people who have been stung by this kind of scam and end up with a criminal record.
So my advice to you is to trash any message you may receive offering an easy job.

La Società Fynetex cerca per l’Italia un Book-Keeper/Representative (*)
L’attività è stata studiata in modo da non gravare sul tuo lavoro principale e ne comportarti alcuno stress, bensì nell’aiutarti a risolvere i problemi legati al costo della vita attuale. La Fynetex SRL è una piccola società che tratta il commercio di differenti lavori artigianali e artistici, come quadri e sculture, prodotti artigianali e tessili, provenienti maggiormente dall’Africa e dall’Asia, cravatte e coloranti. E’ stato riscontrato dalla Società un ritardo significativo nei pagamenti da parte delle società clienti, che preferiscono effettuare il saldo delle fatture con assegni bancari e circolari, i quali difficilmente possono essere incassati al di fuori dell’Europa. Ho quindi bisogno di una persona che ricopra la figura di rappresentante legale della nostra Società e che segua tutto il processo dei pagamenti che provengono dai miei vari clienti, e che avvengono ogni settimana. Questo è il motivo per cui ho deciso d’incaricare un rappresentante in Italia, che possa aiutare nel raccogliere i pagamenti, che difficilmente potrei seguire dal paese in cui mi trovo. Spero di trovare un positivo riscontro da parte Sua. TUTTO CIO’ CHE DOVRAI FARE E’ RICEVERE I PAGAMENTI DAI MIEI CLIENTI IN EUROPA (DIPENDE DALLA LOCALITA’ IN CUI TI TROVI) E INCASSARLI NELLA TUA BANCA. DEDURRAI DALLA CIFRA IL 10%, QUALE COMMISSIONE PER L’ESERCIZIO DA TE SVOLTO, E TRASFERIRAI IL RESTO AL RAGIONIERE DELLA SOCIETA’ PER MEZZO DI WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER, MONEYGRAM INTERNATIONAL, ECC. I pagamenti che arriveranno saranno emessi a nome tuo, così come informerò i miei clienti di fare. La mia precedente rappresentante Michelle Astori si è trasferita con la sua famiglia in Nuova Zelanda ed è per questo motivo che cerco un altro rappresentante. Avrò bisogno da parte Sua delle seguenti informazioni:
nome completo; sesso; data di nascita indirizzo completo; recapiti telefonici; attuale occupazione; disposizione di un conto corrente (informazione facoltativa). LA SOCIETA’ INVIERA’ TRAMITE EMAIL UN DOCUMENTO CHE LEI DOVRA’ COMPILARE UNITAMENTE AD UNA LETTERA DI CONSENSO E LA FOTOCOPIA DI UN DOCUMENTO PERSONALE.

ATTENDIAMO UNA SOLLECITA RISPOSTA DA PARTE SUA. Cordiali saluti, John Williams CEO, Fynetex Limited.============================================================================================

We need agents to receive payment for our textiles( in checks ) 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.
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!
