Attention,
Before I go further I thought I'd inform you of both who you would be
working for and what you would be doing. We are into Manufacturing of Fabrics
and Textiles with numerous customers home and abroad and here are our homepage
http://www.globalsources.com/jieenda.co. We produce various clothing materials,
batiks, assorted fabrics and traditional costume.
We need a representative in the US/CANADA/EU who will be in charge of all our
payments from our clients/customers because most of our customers pay us through
Certified checks and money orderâs which are not negotiable here in China.
This brings our quest to employ a credible and trustworthy fellow as our
representative to handle our payments. This would not affect your present job
but serve as another stream of income to your good self. As our Representative
in your country, your tasks are;
1. Receive payment from Customers
2. Cash it at any cashing point or at your banks and you will deduct 10% which
will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed
3. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you
will be contacted to send payment to. (Payment is to be forwarded by Western
Union Money Transfer).
Note that as a representative of our company; you will be entitled to 10% of
any amount you receive from customers on behalf of the company as payments for
outstanding debts or goods that they want to buy.
We understand it is an unusual and incredible job position. This job takes only
3-7 hours per week. You'll have a lot of free time doing another job, but
this job is very challenging and you should understand it. We are looking for a
worker who is satisfied with our requirements and will be an earnest assistant.
We are glad to offer this job position to you. If you feel that you are serious
about this, we implore you to send your FULL NAMES, ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER so
we can forward it to our clients and they will start making payments to you as
the company's representative and I would be glad if I can hear from you with
all the information required.
Thank you for your time and anticipated cooperation.
Regards,
Mrs Roselyn Anderson.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
