Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

• An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
• The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
  • "% commission" (Beware of any scheme that involves depositing checks or money orders or receiving wire transfers in your bank account and then wiring a portion of the funds somewhere, for a percentage of 5-15% of the total. Such offers are *always* fraudulent and you will be liable for the entire amount when the checks, money orders or wire transfers turn out to be fraudulent. Any money already forwarded comes out of *your* pocket then. )
  • "united state of america" (this email uses bad English)
• This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
  
• This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
  • +447011129009 (UK, redirects to a mobile phone in another country)
• This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Good Day

TM CLOTHING FABRICS AND TEXTILES INDUSTRIAL LTD.. I am Mr Grover Carter .and i happen to be managing a textiles company here in England ,we supply raw materials for clothing to companies However i am very sorry if i happen to border you with this email but i think it is the only means i believe i can get a God fearing person to help represent our company.

Well actually i need a friend who will act as our company representative in the your country,who can be working for us due to the fact that our company make allots of supplies to some of our clients in your country which i do come to the United state of America to receive payment after i have made the supply of raw materials to them.

So i realized that its quite too expensive and stressful for me to be travelling each time to receive such payment twice in a month because most of the payment i usually receive is paid by cashier\'s check and i have considered it cheaper to pay you 15% commission from money if only you can be doing this for me .All you need to do is when you receive the first payment you would be required to deduct $2000 which you would use a thousand dollars to set up an account for this purpose, which would be managed by you so we do not have to interfere with your personal account.

The balance of the first payment you would be required to send down to us then when you receive subsequent payments, you would work out your commission and send the balance down. It is meant to be a part time job and it is easy to do because you don\'t have to go any length to pick the payment,because i will instruct my client to make the payment in which ever name and information you provide for and also ask him or her to mail it out to you via any of this postal services .Federal Express FedEx, UPS or D.H.L .So all you will need is to provide me with your full name and address where the payment can be addressed to so that my client can issue you the payment as soon as possible of which i will also update you of when and when the payment will be coming to you so that it will not in any case affect your present job.

Well i will like to believe that you must be a God fearing person who cant rip me off,because i still believe that we can still meet ourselves when Next i come to the state.However,i believe am faithful and i can always be feeling as such to others too and i also know that most Americans that i know can be very trust Worthy. So i will give you all my company\'s info which you will need to send the funds down to me once it is cash thanks as i await to read from you soonest.Please if you are interested in this position send me your full name,physical address and phone numbers and also make sure you get back to me .
