Check Processing Employment Scam Letter

from: Eric Adams, Eric Art Works, Inc.

NOTE: "Eric Adams" is not the real name of the scammer

 

Letter Source:  This letter originated in Tanzania and has nothing to do with London other than the fact that it was routed to the US through a UK email server.  This is the same thing as a letter, airmailed from Australia, passes through several post offices before reaching it's final destination in say, Düsseldorf.

 

The most dangerous aspect of this email is that is appears personal.  It's not: it's a form letter sent to hundreds of email inboxes.  The reference to the FBI "branch" is ridiculous and is only meant to give the reader a false feeling of comfort.

My name is Eric Adams and I am an artist.I saw your advert on the web
for
employment.I
live in United Kingdom,with my two kids,four cats,one dog and the love
of my
life(my wife
of 5 years). It is definitely a full house. I have been doing artwork
since
I was a kid(12 yrs
old).That gives me about 28 years of experience. I majored in art in
high
school and took a
few college art courses. Most of my work is done in either pencil or
airbrush mixed with
color pencils. I have recently added designing and creating artwork on
the
computer.I have
been selling my art works for the last 3 years and have had my work
featured
on trading
cards, prints and in magazines.I have sold in galleries and also to
private
collectors from
all around the world.I am always facing serious difficulties when it
comes
to selling my art
works to Americans,they are always offering to pay with a US MONEY
ORDER,which is
difficult for me to cash here in United Kingdom because it will take
approximately 30days
to clear which will tie down my money.I am looking for a representative
in
the states who
will be working for me as a part-time worker and i will be willing to
pay
10% for every
transaction,which wouldn't affect your present state of work,someone
who
would help me
recieve payments from my customers in the states.I mean someone that is
responsible and
reliable,because the cost of coming to the state and getting payments
is
very expensive,i
am working on setting up a branch in the states,so for now i need a
representative in the
united states who will be handling the payment aspect.These payments
are in
money
order and they would come to you in your name, so all you need do is
cash
the money
order deduct your percentage and wire the rest back.The only problem i
have
is trust but i
have my way of getting anyone that gets away with our money,i mean the
FBI
branch in
Washington gets involved if any of my employees want to play funny
games so
if you have
bad intentions in mind then don't just try it because you will be
caught
with ease.It
wouldn't cost you any amount to get this transaction done,you are to
receive
payments
which will be sent to you by fedex or usps from my business patners but
preferably
Fedex,which would come in form of a money order then you are to cash it
and
send the
cash to me via moneygram money transfer,all transfer fees should be
deducted
from the
money.If you are interested,please get back to me asap to know if you
are
interested
because Job commences the moment I open a file for you on your name and
info.I believe
this will be a good opportunity to make good earning this new year and
I
wish you Happy
New year and have a prosperous Yeah this 2006.

Regards,

ERIC ADAMS
